Personal comments
Before coming to Spain I had the intermediate level of Spanish. I did not used programs available for international students at the Univesity of Barcelona since I already had chosen a private language school where I was studying before. What helped me a lot in improving my level of Spanish was the contact with many Spanish people and active participation in social and cultural life of Barcelona.

Very interesting, some difficulties to understand the catalan. But people are friendly and when they see you're a foreigner they switch to castillan!
