I wanted to learn how to fly these things... after seeing this, I might wanna do it for real.,(reply>), @Rakusan2 Good point, things might be very different depending on where you life, so you should look up your local options +Root3264.,(reply>), @Postron In Canada there are no schools only clubs for gliders. These clubs are also able to get you the license in 2 months or less if you are either coming every good flying day or have a tent on the field. The two clubs I was at also have instructors that have their own trailers to stay in during the season and the clubs also have their own shower rooms and will even rent you a tent or a cabin to sleep in .,(reply>), @Postron Sounds like the club is the better idea if you ask me, I've got more than enough time on my hand to be okay the 2-3 years of learning^^,(reply>), @Root3264 Do it. It's really really cool (speaking from lots of experience). You'll have to decide whether to learn at club or at a commercial school though. Clubs are generally far cheaper but it'll also take far longer since you'll normally only fly at weekends (usually about 2 to 3 years). On the other hand schools will get you your license in a matter of weeks however it will be very expensive and they will expect you to put your entire life life on hold for that duration.
