Immersion is great but you can immerse yourself at home. What I mean is many people seem to think language learning is like osmosis and by simply spending 6 months in a country they will be fluent. Not exactly, yes you can make great strides if you go to another country and practice everyday but then again you can make the same strides in your house if you watch novelas everyday and have four hours of conversations daily on Skype. How many immigrants are there that have been in a country for 5+ years and still can't speak a word of the language? You get out what you put in regardless of which country you are in.
