The Worlds Most Dangerous Road ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yungas_Road) is a must-do if you are visiting La Paz. While the name is scary, if you can ride a bike, you can ride the road.
Beutiful scenery as you ride past a 600m cliff, descending from 4700m at La Cumbre, down to 1350m in the Yungas Valley, this is seriously one of the best experiences you can have in the area.
There are a few companies that offer the ride, at vastly different prices, but really, you have to ask yourself how much you are willing to risk on a road this dangerous.
By far the best company in town is Gravity Assisted Mountain Biking ( http://www.gravitybolivia.com). New bikes, English Guides, First Aid training

There are many institutes in La Paz that teach Spanish, however there are two that I can personally recomend.
1) Speak Easy Institute: Offering an intensive 15 hour survival course, this is a lower-cost, straight-to-the-point option that will teach you some usefull Castellano.
2) Pico Verde: The best of the Best in La Paz. Pico Verde offers everything from Homestay (With real Bolivian Families!), to Apartment rentals (good, english-speaking landlords/ladies), to a sliding scale of prices for Private tutoring (more hours a week=less Bs (bolivianos) per hour!). If you want a knowledgeable tutor, with lots of material, and an understanding of HOW to learn a a language, chose Pico Verde!
