Prospects often assume an intensive week means constant pressure. The reviews describe rough moments too, and what came after them.
No immersion week is smooth every hour. Reviewers describe a difficult morning and what helped them recover by the end of the day, along with the peer-practice moments that made the hard parts easier to push through.

“Thankfully during my group session in the afternoon I was able to get back in the grove and end the day with success.”

How Reviewers Describe Recovery
| Moment | Reviewer | What the Reviewer Describes |
|---|---|---|
| A hard morning | Amanda P | A group session in the afternoon brought her back and ended the day “with success” |
| Stumbling over sentences | Jason S | A peer session gave room to build sentences and find words |

Bottom Line
Reviewers describe the hard moments as part of the week, and they name the moves that helped: a different session later in the day, a peer to practice with, and a coach who explained the point another way. Prospects should expect some difficult hours and a clear route back to progress.
