Learn German

A fairytale town between the Black Forest and the Rhine, Freiburg is famed for its thermal baths, hikes and, of course, that world-renowned cake layered with cherries, cream and a dash of rum.

Learn Italian
Where Capo Vaticano, Calabria, Italy
Close to the tip of Italy’s toes, dip yours into turquoise waters in peaceful bays between lessons. Spectacular views from the cliff tops led Greeks to consider this cape a holy spot. Popular with birdwatchers and scuba divers, it beats evening classes in the local tech.

I studied spanish in Leticia, Amazonas. It was a wonderful experience the see al the birds, the pink dolphins and the rainforest. http://amazonspanishcollege.com
I learned Spanish in a charming language school in Buenos Aires. It is located in the relaxed and upcoming area of Palermo with lots of bars and restaurants around. The stuff is really great and clases are fun, since you focus on oral skills. Plus: the price is quite fair.
