Language of instruction: Spanish
Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
How much did you improve your Spanish?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
- because murcia weren't a kind of turistiv city there weren't so many people how could talk with you in english pretty well. so you was forced to learn a good spanish to get in contact with the natives. but in Murcia all inhabitants were really open and friendly and they helped me a lot to learn spanish.
