I went to Spain with very little Spanish but by the end of the year I felt very confident both verbally and written. I took all modules and exams in Spanish. A real achievement for me.

if you try, it's not that hard; people always willing to help

my spanish improved a lot as I was living with 3 spanish guys. I would hardly recommend to look for appartments to be shared with spanish people, as on university you deal mostly with other erasmus students.
