I'm still not a fan of this theory and living in Korea for 4 months has really encouraged this. The only words I've learned are words that have been explained to me, or that I've taught myself and use daily. There is no obscure magical word I know that I haven't asked about or looked up at some point. Maybe there are different circumstances for different types of learners, I am a visual learner so immersion is not for me. Which may explain my ability to pick up Hindi by watching movies and reading the translation.
I feel that learning via immersion is really a personal experience on how immersed you are. I'm pretty sure that if I was dumped somewhere with no way of communicating with English, I would be learning Korean a lot faster, but still I would like to meet someone who has actually learned a language purely through immersion like many companies claim.
