Spanish is sometimes quite hard to learn, but not impossible. You have to put a lot of effort in it to make a progress. The only way to learn it is practising and try to speak it all the time! Sometimes it is difficult to speak it all the time because you will get a lot of international friends where you most of the time speak in English with. But it is worth to try!

You have to be patient with yourself. You have to try non-stop, it can be very tiring sometimes. You make wonderful erasmus riends who all experience the same things and little difficulties. After one month, you start understanding, after 2 month you can talk simple phrases, after 3 months you really start feeling comfortable talking yourself

Very hard at the first times, I tried to speak French or English but most people couldn't speak anything but Spanish: after one month you feel more at ease and you are capable to communicate easily with everyone! Frustrating in the beginning but afterwards it's a great satisfaction!

First it was hard to understand the teachers and the people from the ofice of the university. But you can go in the language, if you speak everyday in spanish and not in english with other Erasmus. And my advantage were my flatmates. Both only spoke spanish.

my main difficulties were with the courses in the university that were entirely in spanish.It was easy to cope with the everydays language issues but to reach at the level to ba able to follow academic material is entirely different.

its recomendable to search for a language-school outside the university, too, because the course in universitiy includes all levels in one class. really good and cheap is the ecuela oficial de idiomas (institution of the ministry of education), courses of 3-4 months, 50 euro!
