How much did you improve your Spanish?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)

Personal comments:
In this part of spain, there is also another language "el Vasco", but most of the people spoke th enormal spanish and I learned a lot. There are still peolple here with whom I'm speaking english, but the spanish is getting better and better. You have tot have a bit of discipline, though, to look up words in your diccionary when you don't know them etc.
