Overall, my language has improved, but mainly on understanding rather than communicating. It was very easy to fall into the gap of speaking English with Spanish people aswell with friends.

It was a great fun to learn the slang. The Spanish were very helpful and when you didn't understand an expression or a word they tried to explain it to you in the best way they could. I did not have any problems at the university neither, so that the exams weren't difficult at all.

When I arrived it was a shock as the way I was taught in England was not representative of everyday language use. Now I'm more fluent and familiar with everyday terms.
