Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $53 a day this sits right at the $48 median for language. It is cheaper than 5 of the 13 language options mapped here.
- When to go
- Workable across 10 months of the year — Sep-Jun. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 60 days, but the honest range is 28 to 300. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
