So while i am looking for a potential wife, i do realize that some things should not be forced. That being the case my first goal being; going to a country to take paid spanish lessons and improve my fluency...


any suggestions on countries and cities for that? or does it not really matter as i can find a hired tutor anywhere?


I would really like to go somewhere besides guatemala again, but its just so damn affordable (150 dollars a week for 25 hours of 1-1 spanish lessons, 3 cooked meals and a home stay with a local family.)


I don't mind bumping that number from 150 to around 300-400 if it means going to a more desirable (IMO) location.


Honestly, i'm open to wherever. I just want to go have fun, learn the language, be relatively safe, socialize with locals (prob do some volunteer at a local hospital clinic) and make some real genuine connections that may lead to something more serious in the future.
Crossfitcrna,
 
I did a little research on language schools--there are quite a few in Costa Rica, mostly in the San Jose area.  I also saw a couple in Colombia, mainly in Medellin and Bogota.
 
As far as cost goes, I saw Spanish classes advertised for about $200 a week.  If you want to do a homestay that was about $170 a week, so this would bring your total to $370 a week which is in line with the $300-$400 per week that you mentioned in your post.
