There is not many people that can speak English in Spain, so from the beginning I had to use spanish. I think it helped me a lot to improve my Spanish. ETEA (Faculty of Economics in University of Cordoba) offered just 2 weeks course of Spanish. In additional I took part in private Spanish course organized on the faculty of Languages in University of Cordoba.

At first it was difficult to understant the andalucian accent, as they speak very quickly and cut the words in half. I joined a theatre group and it was the best way to integrate with local students and at the end of the year I had no problems in communication.

It was amazing. I learned more in four months of living with my host family and studying in school than I did in four years of language instruction in my home country. Now I work in a bi-lingual job due completely to the language skills I acquire abroad.

I was a graduate student and finished my Master's of Spanish in Cordoba. I wanted to perfect my Spanish and a times itwas a it difficult because andaluz (the dialect in Andalucia) is different than standard castellano, but quite beautiful and joyous.
