Personal comments
When I came to Spain, I could hardly say anything and I didn't dare to either, during my stay, I got to know more and more people, that tought me a lot and i also wanted to be able to start a conversation , so I think it is also nessecary that you want to learn the language and study a bit yourself up to the conversational level and then just dare to talk.

Personal spending habits
In Spain the food is cheaper than in Germany, but especially seafood is so delicious here. During my stay I wanted to see other places in Spain and took a lot of week-end trips to larger town, that is what I spent most of my money on.
