Yes. That`s pretty much the way things happened in my case. I was lucky enough to get over here when I was still young enough to pick things up quickly. I only knew 3 or 4 phrases and a handful of random words when I first got here.
I have to say that after 10 years of being here, if I weren`t fluent I`d be pretty embarrassed.
