Immersion's pretty unusual, especially given that most of us have data-connected phones in our pockets these days, but, uh, near-complete immersion worked pretty well for me. I had no choice in Indonesia but to figure out how to communicate in Bahasa, so I did. 😂

Also, having extremely patient people around me helped A TON. I go to France, I get mocked for, like, existing, of course I'm not going to speak French unless I absolutely must. I rock up to a little village in Indonesia, people are super friendly? I'm super motivated to learn how to talk to them!
