Visiting any foreign country and speaking the language, even minimally, adds enormously to the experience. Of course! But how? Cactus Language Training, a globe-trotting language training company, teaches 30+ languages in 60 countries at 500 destinations worldwide. Each year new destinations are added, new immersive cultural experiences are added too.
Emphasizing affordability and authenticity, Cactus’ new 2011 vacation programs feature: Spanish and Latin Dance in Leticia, Colombia on the banks of the Amazon; studying German in the low-key, less touristy Bavarian town of Lindau overlooking the Swiss Alps; and mastering Russian in culturally diverse Kiev, Ukraine near Belarus.
Spanish? Learn it in any of their 70 locations in Argentina, Costa Rica, and Spain. French? Choose among 26 locales from Biarritz, Bordeaux, and Monaco to Montreal, Canada. Italian? 22 locations across Italy. Or wait a minute. Try Thai, Turkish or Brazilian Portuguese.
- A free week with the purchase of two-weeks of French in Nice starting at $682
- Five free cultural lessons with a Spanish language program in Madrid starting at $284
- A free excursion to Murano, the glass-blowing island, with their Italian study program in Venice starting at $312
Amazingly, Cactus tailors its broad range of programs to fit individual needs and tosses in special experiences like wine tasting, cooking, dancing and diving that reinforce the day’s language lessons.
