I got to see a little of that in Europe. In Italy I could only understand just a few things, numbers, directions, commands, etc. But when I was in France, I suddenly found myself to be able to communicate without much difficulty and sometimes with ease. By the 3rd day I found myself speaking more French than English most of the time. But, still yet, not total immersion. I still sometimes find myself speaking French for basic phrases. (I'm tired. Where is that?...etc.) even months later.
EDIT: I was in France for a total of 4 days.
