This comment is specific to Sanskrit learning. If you are in Bay Area, Sanskrit Bharati (http://www.samskritabharatiusa.org/ http://www.samskritabharatiusa.org/) is very active. Their teaching is focused on conversational style. They are world wide organization. They have a 3 day intro workshop followed by weekly meeting to keep you going on the learning path. Twice a year, they have a weekend retreats to fully embrace the language. I just did intro workshop their style is very very effective. I could start conversing basic sentences after 3 sessions. I didn't pursue further (laziness), so above details could be slightly incorrect. I have no affiliation.
