Essential Tools For Language Immersion:

You cannot properly be immersed in your environment if you do not have the right tools to expose yourself to your target language.  Besides the lack of motivation to study, the biggest roadblock to immersion is NOT bringing the appropriate tools to the task. 

Now, if you have the following tools...you can be fluent in any language.  Let these tools be your "teacher":

Music player (MP3, iPhone, iPod, etc.); electric dictionary; computer; books that you actually have an interest in; comics; posters in your target language; newspapers.
