I'm thinking about refreshing my oh-so-rusty Spanish skills (studied for 6 yrs in jr. high & high school, about 40+ years ago) along with traveling somewhere. So, to me, an immersion program sounds like it would fit the bill. Does anyone have any suggestions of schools, countries, things to consider,etc.?
Since air fare will be a big chunk of the cost, I'm thinking a 2 or 3 week stay would be more cost-effective, as well as better for language learning.
I'm also wondering how to determine where I fit into a school's program. I have some preexisting knowledge (that is buried somewhere in the recesses of my brain) and would likely get bored in a class of beginners. At the same time, I don't want to be so 'over my head' that I don't maximize my learning.
Also, once I get back, any suggestions on how to maintain my new skills?
Thanks,
omni
