I came across these a while back for a super intensive immersion program.
Middlesbury school
Latter-Day Saint Missionaries - religious organization

They give an idea how fast the brain can learn a language given the right environment.

Thanks for the links! I'll have to check these out during my break today.

Edit: I've been curious about the mormon missionaries in this context as well actually. The ones I've bumped into are always from US and I'm surprised everytime that they can speak the language of the country they are in.
