Hi guys, does this sentence make a sense to you. I'm a little bit struggling with the word order. Thank you.
Learning a new language on the fly immerses you fully in that language and while you’re surrounded by native speakers, you acclimatize to the natural speech rate more quickly.

The word order of the sentence is correct and easy for a native speaker to understand. There should be a comma after "in that language."
The sentence has typical word order throughout it.
What is confusing you?

I don't see any issues with the word order, but I do see issues with redundancy:
1) "immerses" = fully enveloped in something, making "fully" a redundant explanation.
2) "language" is repeated twice. Learning something on the fly does not mean I am in full immersion, but you are treating the two as if they necessarily equate to each other. I would rephrase this to include "lang

Thank you, so I will probably just use: "The best way to learn a foreign language is through full immersion."
The thing is that our goal in this argumentative essay is to be as specific as possible, and my teacher always wants more and more specific examples, that's why I also added "surrounded by native speakers...." but you're right so I'll try to come up with something else .. thank yo

That's helpful to know.
Being surrounded by native speakers is not a specific example but just a rephrasing of what it means to be "fully immersed in another language." A specific example would be a time when you or someone you know lived with a host family, went to an english speaking school, or took a trip to an english speaking city.
Good luck!
