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? |

i don't think fluently, but it's some sort of survival instinct that a person picks up on a language if they are left to survive in that place. moreso if the person has no other way of communicating.
and "where's the toilet" is another important one. |
