| OH needs a course.
.....
Scheduling a course simply does not work with the demands of his job; OH works round the clock, travels frequently, at short notice. In the beginning he tried to take courses twice, each time work responsibilities meant he had to miss lectures, in the end he was simply flushing money down the drain.
Now is certainly not the time to ease up on the workload, a course would have to wait. | |

I am in a similar situation, when a regular course is not an option due to the working schedule. What I have found as a good alternative: private lessons via
www.italki.com. The prices are 3-4 lower than the private lessons via local Swiss language schools, but the quality is comparable (though need to try few teachers to find "the one"). The greatest benefits: 1)flexible schedule ( for example, I have lessons at 6 am in the morning and 9 pm in the evening- with different teachers, living in different time zones) and 2) possibility to cancel the lesson without any hassle and payment up to 24 hours before the lesson, or even later, if the teacher agrees).
For me it was a solution to combine demanding job and language learning, maybe it will be helpful for your family situation too.
