15 years in china, with a chinese wife and everyone in my family and my environment speaking chinese with each other did not help me learn more than a few words and phrases of chinese. so just bombardement is not enough, you must be doing some active learning if you want anything to catch on.

Yes very true. Though exposure is also impotent. But active lessons or trying are vital
I'm in progress learning Vietnamese this way. To me, whether it works or not is no longer a question :)
Were you trying to learn a language or did it just happen to you?
