you could pick up a language if you were around that particular language a lot?
for example, do you think i could go to france, with no knowledge of French whatsoever, and speak it fluently if i don't even TRY to learn it? i'm not really going to france, it was just an example. but what if you're around people a lot who speak a different language, do you think you could learn it like that? |

eh, i don't know. like, i'd pick up the regular stuff, "can you clean my room" "how are you" "my name is julia" "i'd like to buy a fish", etc. but not anything too fluently, unless i were staying there for maybe two or three years.
