Good advice here imho, particularly the last post.
If you book two lessons per month, you will be lucky to average one per month and have forgotten most of what you learned the last time.
When I learned in central Scotland, I booked two lessons almost every weekend and still took 55 hours and 18 months to get my PPL(A). Admittedly, I did switch from high wing at one airfield to low wing at another and back again but the main problem was consistently getting an instructor and plane available when the weather was suitable for the stage I was at.
I also found that I got rusty very quickly when learning and well beyond that as an inexperienced PPL (now with almost 2500 hours in single-engined aircraft and fixed-wing microlights, I barely notice this).
Having said that, I am not in favour of intensive courses for initial training particularly if done abroad. It is invaluable to learn so much for free about flying locally during the inevitable time hanging about the airfield!
But if you can only afford a few lessons a month, do it anyway. Enjoy the process and the licence will come eventually as long as you stick at it.
