There is a hidden assumption here that not everyone shares. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

@gentle_marauder10 Kind of wild how often choosing is the whole issue.

@gentle_marauder10 I like this more than the top-level advice.

For travel days, leave one flexible block. The best thing on a trip is often the thing you did not schedule. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the library.

Learn a few local phrases and one apology phrase. People are usually generous when they see you trying. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a tiny balcony.

Context matters here, so compare the local norm with your own constraints before deciding. If two options look equal, choose the one that is easier to reverse.

- Do ten minutes daily instead of one giant weekend session.
- Save phrases you actually want to say.
- Speak badly on purpose; fluency needs reps.

Come back with what happened; the details will make the next answer better.
