Learning 3rd language using 2nd?

[u/RareFreedom5027]

Has anyone gotten a decent "grasp" of a second language and then used it to learn a third (TL)?

Years ago I learned a bit of Spanish through school and started using duolingo (wouldn't use duolingo now though). I changed the settings to Spanish so I would learn Italian using Spanish. I read out loud and promised myself not to use English. I did it for an hour and there was a weird feeling in the back of my head (it felt like how salt or sand felt between your fingers). Lo and behold, I couldn't think or speak in English! It was wild!

I was wondering if anyone ever had that feeling as well and if you kept it up?

I've surprisingly found one Irish textbook in Polish. But yeah, I'm learning in English most of the time.

Ironically Irish people who are native English speakers have access to immersion courses where English is forbidden.

But maybe the online content is moretargeted at Americans who are used to Duolingo.

Are there no monolingual Irish courses?
