Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Spanish How much did you improve your Spanish?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
Oviedo is a great place to go if you REALLY want to learn the language. Most of the local people and stores, DON'T know English, so you are forced to speak spanish all the time--which is the BEST way to learn. Other more touristy places in spain that we traveled to, as soon as a local thought that you were American, they would speak English to you, which at times you were thankful for, but it didn't allow you to practice and struggle through situations that would make you better at Spanish.

To learn or improve your spanish the best thing would be meet a lot of spanish people,they're really nice and friendly people and you can learn thing that teachers don't teach at class ;). Meet other students from other country is also really important. Speak spanish as much as possible. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

It is very convenient that Spaniards speak bad English if you want to improve your Spanish. That is cause you won't be able to rely on your English knowledge in daily life. Books are availiable in English at the library though. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

I had only studied a little bit of Spanish before arriving, but I picked it up VERY quickly, due to the combination of classes, a boyfriend from Argentina, a Spanish host mom and watching a LOT of TV. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Since there were virtually no Dutch people communication in Spanish was necessary. With or without preparation, Spanish is an easy languag to learn, although academic Spanish is something else than talking about football in a bar.

Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
