I suggest to every erasmus student in Madrid to travel a lot all over the country because Spain is different in every region, so it is a good experience to know more cultures.

Personal comments
When I arrived to Spain I couldn't speak the basic language, but it was not a problem for me, because I have a good ability in learning new languages (I have allready studyed English, French, German and Latin). I knew what was important to study and I choosed a good course of spanish; I have lived all the time with students that speak spanish, so I improved the language very well. Finally I think that the best way I improved it was to read books.
