Gliding or power?
absolutely, link on to a university club in your area, or do what Sven did, come to our club, stay in the bunkhouse, very cheap, and do a week's intensive course, practicing the english in the bar, of course. Mine's a Famous Grouse, please.
(google Shenington Gliding Club for terms and conditions!) Sven actually stayed 2 weeks, went solo, did his 5 hours in a K8, and got his Bronze qualification. It is still possible, I believe, to use the gliding qualifications toward the PPL.
