Learn a Language in Europe

photo

Several years ago, I had a chance to experience something I'd always wanted to try: a "language vacation" at a school in Europe. 

Language Studies Abroad, Inc., an agency that arranges courses for adults in schools on four continents, told me to pick a language and a location. I chose Italian in Siena, Italy--and the resulting language holiday was one of the most delightful and rewarding weeks that I've enjoyed in years. I've turned my experience into a collection of articles and photos:

Language vacations

Language agencies
What a "language agency" is, and how an agency like the one that arranged my trip can help you pick the school or program that best fits your needs--or those of the children and teens in your family.
Siena: Language study
A firsthand report of a "language vacation" at the LSA school in Siena, Italy.
Siena: Cooking lessons

Siena: Tourist information - Travel advice and links for language students and other travelers.
Siena: Photo gallery - 112 color photos of Italy's most medieval city, with detailed captions.

On each page of this six-part "megafeature," you'll find a navigation table (like the one below) with links to related articles and the photo gallery. To get started, use the links above.

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.
