Many people learn to swim by falling in or being pushed. Splash! You drown, someone rescues you, or—as with most people—you swim. The will to do better is amazing. This is learning by immersion.
Immersion is the method Rosetta Stone Totale employs to help you learn a language—you absorb a lot in a very short time—if you are willing to put in the time. Because each of us learns the basic skills of our native language by immersion—not by studying grammar and vocabulary—the developers of Rosetta Stone say they believe this is the best way to learn a second tongue.
We are using Totale to learn Japanese. Due to our business and personal interests, this language is becoming important—almost essential—to us. But you have to put in the effort.
While Totale appears to be working for both of us—one with natural ability and one disinclined toward foreign languages—repetition is important.
Immersion also works for the language of Na’vi.
