We’d definitely agree that you can learn by immersing yourself in a foreign country. Possibly the only difference we’d have is that we’d call that ‘learning by immersion’ rather than ‘learning by osmosis.’ We’re basically just pointing out that learning effectively requires engagement and active involvement. I think attempting to learn a language in a foreign context is a great example of active learning. It’s definitely work, and we’d say that if you can speak another language, you’ve definitely produced something. Is that helpful at all?

What about learning a new language by spending enough time in a foreign country?
If work is performed in this process, what is created?
