For me immersion is something you typically achieve with one language at a time. In a sense a monolingual immersion period is an extreme method to boost your competence in one language, and as such it shouldn't last too long if you want to learn several languages. The more languages you see and hear and use during your stay the less it functions as an immersion experience. You may need to consult a dictionary or language guide once in a while, and you family may demand some proof that you still are alive and well but otherwise the whole idea behind immersion is to focus on on language for a time.
What Torbyrne describes is in my view something different from immersion, namely a general technique to keep a lot of languages happy and active. It can in principle be done everywhere, whether or not the languages that involved are spoken by the local population. 1 person has voted this message useful |
