I think that's certainly true for some of them, but I think others are geared specifically toward learning the language at a basic level. (Which of course means that they would still spend all their time with each other and not really see whatever city they're in except as tourists.)

Well, it certainly dazzled my reason for a couple of hours. I couldn't get back to work until late in the evening. Early 19th century memoires of young notary assistants are not for me. They sem to have similar effects on my brain as LSD. :-)
