Hello, teachers.

Is the following sentence acceptable?
(I mean "You have to be exposed to English all day long in order to master it.")

"In order to master English, you need to immerse yourself in an environment where you have to use English to survive in your daily life."

And is the following figurative sentence understandable?

"You have to swim in the sea of English in order to master it."

Thank you in advance!

Sure, why not? It's a good image and understandable.
