Language trips

Everyone knows that the best way to learn a country's language is to go there. And with thousands of language schools to choose from in hundreds of countries, transforming yourself into an instant polyglot has never been easier!  If you're willing to put in the hours in quest of fluency, you can finesse your French and gee up your German the good old-fashioned way, studying in a class or privately with a skilled language instructor. But if you don't fancy spending your holiday stuck in a classroom, that's fine too: many courses combine language immersion with an action-packed itinerary. You can bring your Spanish on in leaps and bounds while leaping and bounding through the Basque hills, or hone your Polish on a picnic in Krakow. Learning's never been so much fun.
