It wasn't easy but teachers and local students were happy to help and were patient when I was struggling!
Don't make the mistake of spening too much time speaking your native language though - I saw a few people go home having not learned much Spanish!

key was trying to speak as little english as possible. that way you really immerse yourself. This can be a challenge but if you can make friends both international and american who are committed to learning you will do ok.

I think I improved, but I still think I should have become more fluent. But that is partially my fault for lack of getting more involved. Plus, the Spanish is Spain is a little more difficult to learn than other regions of Latin America.

I found my language proficiency greatly improved. Spending a year abroad was a great confidence boost. Most problems I encountered were with young people, the girls spoke really quickly while the boys ate their words and mumbled!

AMAZING!!! I REALLLLLY saw a difference. My accent improved, my use of tenses and grammar came more naturally. When I came back, I had trouble remembering English, I was so used to communicating in Spanish.
