Has anyone gone to an immersion school? [View all]

I took two years of Spanish and two years of Latin in school. I picked up a lot of Spanish, living in Texas, and didn't realize it.

I love Romance languages. When I took voice lessons I learned to sing in French, Italian and German. I love Italian the best. I once sang in the chorus of an amateur production of The Elixir of Love by Donizetti, in Italian of course. That was a whole lot of fun.

I would like to go to Mexico and do a month of immersion, package deal with room and board. i think I could get fluent fairly quickly.

Anybody done this before, with any language?
