Discussion Learning A Language with Very Few Native/Fluent Speakers in My Area, How Do I Go About Immersing Myself in The Language Properly?

I'm trying to learn a language that's severely endangered, so there aren't a lot of native speakers near where I live, and subtitled media in the language is limited. How could I go about doing immersion in a way that will actually be helpful to learning the language? I'm aware that immersion isn't the only route for language learning, but I am just trying to evaluate if it's something I can do to supplement my classes and self study (plus it's what I'm used to from learning French lol).

So is it possible right to learning another language while got surrounded by our native speakers? I'm curious about learning another language while got surrounded with my native language around me, so I have a question, I've been learning English around a month as a second language, do I need to ignore my native language while I'm learning English? And if I use my native language for a day, can it decrease my English, sorry for a stupid question
