Language Study Holidays
See also: Language schoolAn increasing number of people are now combining holidays with language study in the native country. This enables the student to experience the target culture by meeting local people. Such a holiday often combines formal lessons, cultural excursions, leisure activities, and a homestay, perhaps with time to travel in the country afterwards. Language study holidays are popular across Europe and Asia due to the ease of transportation and variety of nearby countries. These holidays have become increasingly more popular in Central and South America in such countries as Guatemala, Ecuador and Peru.

—Jennie Carolyn Van Ness (b. c. 1890–?)
“Most married couples spend the whole day apart, the woman in the house, the man in the office or study or workshop.”
