Yes, I wanted to improve my Spanish
How much did you improve your Spanish?
My level before: Did not speak it
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
I picked up quickly the host language and by the time i had finished my course, my Spanish was so good that I suprised many spanish friends back home in London. Communicating in Spaish is easy for me as my native language (Italian) is a latin-derived one.
