If what Patricia says is true, this sounds like the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself into the culture and learn the language.
I know you are an English teacher, but I'll bet there are those who would love to 'tutor' you.
What do you think?

I am absolutely keen on learning the language, and have been brushing up on local culture/history/tradition as much as I've had time/brain capacity for.
Culture/history/customs etc has proven fairly simple so far, through conversation, research, simple observation, and visiting places that are free to visit
The language has proven more difficult, I can now read and sound out the alphabet, pronounce most words without a hitch, and have a basic grasp of enough to get me around town, use basic courtesy, and one or two other things.
Been trying to find someone to "language swap" with - but this has proven surprisingly difficult. Not so difficult that I'll stop trying though
Should still be here for the rest of the year, minimum, so plenty of time
