With ratcreature's help, I polished up the practicum inquiry letters and sent them off yesterday. I heard back from the Frankfurt GI a little bit ago, and they said it's possible to do one in the 2nd and 3rd weeks of an intensive 4+, see internet for schedules, and the fee is 200E. (I don't know what the magic key combination is to get the Euro symbol on my Mac.)

Airfare to Frankfurt in January is $1100. I assume I'll also have to pay for housing, which I'll ask about when I reply to this email. So airfare + fee + housing + food...probably another $2k.

This is still cheaper than grad school, and more focused on what I'd like to do.

Yay! Good luck ^^

If you're using a German keyboard layout, it's alt+e for €, btw.

Thanks! I haven't gotten a response to my reply yet, but I'm guessing this person has a lot of work to do and answers a lot of other emails.

I have the US keyboard layout, which looking at the keyboard layout tells me shift-alt-2 will get me €. alt-3 is £. The ones I know are alt-u ¨ and alt-s ß. It took a while to find both halves of «» alt-\ and shift-alt-\

I can change keyboard layout to German, but then I'd have to figure out where all the letters are...

Aha! A plan! ^_________^

It will be more of a plan if Frau B-B replies to my last email :/
