Traveling in a Foreign Language

Learning a language takes years of study and practice. However, there is a fast and fun alternative. For instance, if you would like to learn French, how about taking a trip to France? Sign up for an intensive language course in a city of your choice. Believe me, when you are trapped in a place where no one speaks your language, in just two weeks you will begin to converse. The classes run mornings, with excursions in the afternoons. You could also combine lessons with cooking, skiing or wine tasting classes.

I arrived in Florence, with minimal knowledge of the language. After two weeks I had explored Tuscany and I could even complain in Italian. Of course, no one can learn a language in two weeks, but you will learn the essentials which will make your trip more enjoyable.
