What is great about Spain with regard to learning Spanish is that not many Spaniards know English. Therefore, you are stuck having to communicate in their language which only helps your spanish language ability in the end.

The first few months were a bit rough, but after total immersion, I didn't have to think about it very much. I understood it like I understood English. I still pine for the sound of Castillian Spanish.

The Fundacion does a great job of making sure students learn and practice Spanish. Of course, students often spoke English when not at the university, but at any rate, you still learn a great deal.

I think my language level has improved, but it definitely made me realize how much more Spanish I have to learn, even after living in Mexico previously. It's a continuous journey.
