Oh ok. Just wanted to make sure you weren't ruling out milder forms of immersion, like going to local meetups where Hebrew speakers agree to interact in strictly Hebrew for a few hours.
Do you know of any such thing? I'd definitely try that.
I do, but the things I know about are confined to my local campus, which is not in Georgia. There are student-led clubs where speakers of various languages get together and provide immersion experiences to each other. Many are international students seeking to improve English skills, and so it's a "trade" of sorts.
Do you live by a large university? Ask around other language learners / students / front desks which manage lists of student organizations / etc ... if they know any local resources. Unfortunately, many organizations don't have a good online presence, so for something like this you must ask around in person.
There's also online immersion - I just googled up this one, there might be others.
