I had a rewarding month in Bolivia last year where I went to learn some Spanish. I have never learnt another language before and found it a really rewarding experience. Within one month of classes and total immersion into a Spanish speaking town I had learnt more of a second language than I had ever learnt at school.

I will be going back to continue my studies as soon as I can.

May i therefore recommend travelling to learn a language or culture. For the less adventurous i would suggest it is possible to do this within ones own country and here in Britain one can find new and surprising cultural expression within an hours drive from home.
