There is no better way to learn a language than in the county, immersing yourself in the culture, food, music, lifestyle etc.

There is no better way to learn a language than in the county, immersing yourself in the culture, food, music, lifestyle etc. of the local people. I adored my time in Portugal and am already planning another study abroad course for next year.
