Personal comments
There is not many people that can speak English in Spain, so from the beginning I had to use spanish. I think it helped me a lot to improve my Spanish. ETEA (Faculty of Economics in University of Cordoba) offered just 2 weeks course of Spanish. In additional I took part in private Spanish course organized on the faculty of Languages in University of Cordoba.

Personal comments
Again, our program was catered towards the American students and although the classes were in Spanish and were quite demanding, I'm sure the classes with the local students were much more difficult.

During my 6 months stay in Cordoba, I was really surrounded by french people, and I improved my spanish slowly. While after that period, I went to Madrid to make an intership of 6 months. And that is why I do speak good spanish now.

Personal spending habits
Items cost less in Spain based on the exchange rate. Travel costs increased just because I traveled all around Europe, taking advantage of already being on the continent.

Personal comments
The best way to purchase things in Spain is to use a credit card, you get much better exchange rates. Never exchange dollars at the airport, the exchange rate is awful.
