the most extreme case, my friend learned spanish in a month. and no, he didnt get the girl. (i saw her awhile back, she went bald anyways.) on the positive side, he is still 90% fluent.
my wife and her family speak mandarin and taiwanese exclusively. they sometimes throw me a bone, and translate a few things for me. it is amazing! i can formulate the next to impossible sounds, and mixed with body language, actions, etc, i am starting to understand. i will be fluent sooner or later.
