Where to get on course

If you want to teach yourself something on holiday but haven't decided what, here are some ideas.

Languages:
Cactus Language (0845 130 4775, www.cactuslanguage.com) offers courses in a wide range of languages all over the world. Classes are small. A week learning Spanish in Granada costs from £209, including b&b with a family.


Dance:
Cactus Language (as before) has salsa classes in Havana, Barcelona and Buenos Aires alongside its Spanish lessons. One week in Buenos Aires with 20 Spanish lessons and 10 salsa classes costs from £419, including seven nights' b&b but excluding flights.

We select the best tour operators for learning holidays.
