I'm a fan of immersion too having done it twice, first in college where the lectures were in a different language and then when moving to another country. I found immersion plus a grammer book were great for learning a language, I'm not really a 'bum on seat and listen to teacher' type student.

I looked into Gaelic some time ago. I particularly like the sound of it. Awlso Esperanto. I found some sites to start but never gotten very far. If you don't have a daily contact with a foreign language, it's very hard to learn it.

True. Even if i would learn it, it might be years before i can actually use it  :-\

I get to watch some shows/movies in french on the TV. Some italian, too. Unfortunately, not many german stuff. It helps a lot, having the subtitles to aid you in understanding, even if, sometimes, the translation is not very accurate.
