It's going to pay off eventually--I'm sure of it.

This is not that implausible to me, given that a) he said he already had some classes, so basic grammar and pronunciation are already familiar, and b) it's immersion: you get good at a language way faster when all of your interactions are in the language and every second you spend being social or at your job is practice at the language. Hell, I'm goony and introverted, had no job forcing me to talk to locals, and I still made huge strides in a language much more different from English in a two-month study abroad summer.

Also, let's be real, the word "near" is assuredly doing some work there.
