Just one recommendation Andy. When learning Spanish, avoid spending too much time with other English speaking students, that will only delay the process. Whenyou know that the person you are talking to speaks your native language, it’s almost impossible not to choose the easy way out. Also keep always in mind that language acquisition takes more than just reaching some vocabulary level and the ability to express your thoughts in a target language. Language acquisition also requires culture attainment. So get involved with Spanish natives, learn about their way of thinking, customs and traditions, this will make your Spanish come out more easily and naturally.

Good Look

PS. I have never been to Spain,,but an Elton John song (Daniel) says it is one of the best places to be.
