Combining vacation and learning

Question

Hi

I want to find a vacation which combines a relaxing hotel type stay with improving my Spanish. Am not sure about booking into a school....... I will be travelling alone.

Any ideas????

Answer 1

Since you are already at an intermediate level, you may benefit more from simply talking to natives than from attending a school. For this to work, you need to go to places away fom the tourist hangouts where everyone speaks English and target places where no one speaks English, and you want to talk to people who are relaxing and having fun, not to people who are working. People are generally receptive to foreigners making an effort to learn their language.
