Course recommendations
I've been in classes where we had to do a lot of presentation and essays during the term, it is usually in group so that's an opportunity to work with spanish people and get to know them. (Classes like: Marketing and distribución comercial, planificacíon estratérica de la empresa)

Personal comments
I went to Spain without any knowledge of the Spanish language and culture in January of 2005 and within the first 2 months developed the ability to converse in everyday situations. I returned to the United States in May of 2005 and really wanted to continue learning and developing my spanish communication skills so I decided to return to Madrid in January of 2006-May 2006. After this time abroad I felt extremly confident with the abilities that I had developed.

intermediate exams - they take the weight of the finals, or: rate papers higher (mostly counted 5-20% of the final grade, pu took up a lot of time!)
