Oh, I see how it could read that way. I meant it in juxtaposition to a situation where I was not immersed in it, like if they had an easy way to make things accessible to me in my own language instead.

If my only options were "learn this new-to-me language" and "never speak to anybody again" because I was immersed in the new language, I could learn it. It wouldn't happen automatically, but I could do it.

And over 50 years, I can't imagine not doing it. It would be my very top priority after meeting my physical needs well enough to stay alive.
