I've seen a lot of threads here about teaching English, but has anyone done the opposite? Gone to a language school to learn the local one? Was looking into doing it to get a visa for Russia.
Curious what experiences someone had, and whether it's worth paying for with so much free content online.
Not all languages have free content and free content is rarely enough either way.
I went to a language school in Vietnam called VLS. Cheap, professional, and totally worth it. Couldn't have learned it on my own.
I would totally do a condensed 2-3 week language course if that was available. Most of these language courses that I've seen are 12+ weeks long. But I'd be willing to go on a longish holiday just to learn a language for a few hours in the mornings, then go and explore a given city and nearby countryside.
I guess I just described a study abroad program for non uni students.

Sure. I did it in Switzerland and had a great time.
A friend of mine went to learn English in Canada.
Language schools are fun. Just choose a good one to meet cool people and have fun. Make sure they do activities for students
