language study abroad - language schools

ABOVE: In Lisbon, you may commute to your language school by tram..

Q. Will I receive academic credit for my studies?

Normally you'll receive a certificate from the school that shows what and when you studied. However, if you want credit toward a degree, you'll need to make arrangements ahead of time with the Study Abroad office of your college or university.

Q. I'm retired. Will I feel out of place among younger language students?

That depends entirely on you. I'm over 50, and I had no problem feeling comfortable with a class of mostly European students in their 20s at the LSA language school in Siena. (I was even invited on a dance-club crawl.)

Still, if you'd rather learn a language with older adults, you may prefer a school that offers special classes for "mature students" during busy times of the year. Language Studies Abroad or a similar language agency can match you to a school that has classes for older learners.

Need a car in Europe?

Auto Europe guarantees the lowest rental rates for standard cars, sports cars, SUVs, luxury cars, chauffered sedans, and RVs. Its Web site also has driving information for 38 countries.

If you live outside the EU, a tax-free Renault or Peugeot tourist lease can be cheaper than renting. Minimum driver age is 18, there' s no upper age limit, and rates include insurance. See: Short-term car leasing.
