The folk at Cactus Language can arrange language-learning trips all over the globe (25 languages in 150 destinations, no less). Perfect for those who like to squeeze the very most from their leisure time. They combine the studies with fun cultural and evening activities, so you might come back not just speaking the local lingo, but also having discovered you're a dab hand at jeweller making or guitar-strumming, too.
