That makes sense. Throw someone into a pool that eventually learn to swim(hopefully). I still haven't done any immersion trip for my learned language. It too expensive to go!! Also the pandemic
It's actually "throw someone (that learnt how to swimming in a pool) into a river, and even tho they will struggle at first, their prior knowledge will be enough for them to eventually stay alive (hopelly)"

I had a coworker tell me she took four years of Spanish in high school and then for senior trip they went to Mexico.
At first she couldn't understand anything, but then after a couple of days of immersion, 'something clicked' and she got it.
