Course recommendations
I took a espanol para extranjeros so I was with a lot of other foreign students. You gotta make an effort to speak spanish and meet locals. Otherwise, it is really easy to end up speaking english all the time...

Personal comments
I really liked how the teachers taught us the language. It wasn't so much "textbook" Spanish like what I was used to learning in the Unites States. They would teach us more common sayings and useful phrases that we would use in our everyday life.
