well, i don't "like" being thrown into cold water, but i do think it's more effective in being immersed in the language you're learning. however, in my case, i usually teach the most basic japanese so i start by gestures and pictures. as we work up the ladder, i use what we learn to learn the new stuff. i do try to avoid using any other language but japanese, however. i use a lot of pictures and real objects to get my point across, as well as music and other media.
