also immersion is a extremely flawed method of education
I was self taught till college so I understand about immersion
just being around english speaking people only teaches you what spoken around you
you will never know the nuances of english
ex. epitome,idiot,viola
without a esl class
you will never read these words right.
till someone actually say them in front of you.
immersion does not do that at all.
I had to take esl in college to learn that.
Eh-pi-tohm,Iye-dee-oht,vhi-oh-la
these are the sound of the word without esl
I always knew these words
just I never connected to the print.
