Last night I was reading about this: apparently you can go to Israel and stay in a kibbutz for 6 to 8 weeks, and learn hebrew (30 hours a week) in a crash course. Of course I cannot do it, but I wish I could.
In fact, I wish I could spend 6 hours a day on any language, full time studying and all. In a kibbutz of all places. Or an Italian monastery full of studius monks/nuns. Or meeting Michel Thomas and learning German in his class. You get the idea. What are your dream learning experiences, possible for you or not?

Lots of things in my target languages and an endless amount of time for dealing with it.
Plus, these things should be... well, I even don't know how to explain it properly. I need one song in all languages possible, same for books, movies - everything. Considering that languages are different a priori I should give up about songs, but this is actually the thing which I want to see being multilingual the most. And, of course, immersion. Maximum immersion theoretically possible, including target language X-speaking family and me as a guest or even, hehe, part of it. Another important condition: no responsibility. This was killing my English for far too long time during school. It seems that I can understand why aristocrats in Russian Empire learned languages: those who wasn't lazy made it too important and others didn't want to give up on that. This is not the sole reason, but it ended up with a simple fact: some aristocrats involved in 14.12.1825 had to study Russian for they were unable to understand or talk Russian, which was necessary in court and other processes. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I thought this was going to be "learn in your sleep".
The Kibbutz sounds pretty good to me. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

That is an interesting idea, just not pick one where the monks/nuns have made a vow of silence :-) By the way, can a non-Orthodox layman opt for a stay of some days/weeks in a Greek monastery? Seriously though,dream learning experiences would be, for Russian: Full immersion during six months through a work placement in a Russian media house or publishing company combined with private lessons, or failing that, travelling through Russia from St Petersburg to Vladivostok by car in company with a private teacher. As for Greek, apart from the monastery idea, spend some months working for a Greek wine producer, or settle in a small village helping out in the local shop and taverna. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I don't think religion is an issue, as long as you are respectful etc. You have to call the monastery first for arrangements, and that's it basically.
Very nice daydreams, everyone. I'd like them too. Edited by renaissancemedi on 07 November 2013 at 2:27pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

OK, I admit that would be more fun than be locked in a monastery! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I guess I'm with Tarvos on this one.
Being paid to become a polyglot with access to any book, movie, TV-show, CD etc. that I needed. Sounds like a good life! 1 person has voted this message useful |
