Course recommendations
Talk to the Italian students and former Erasmus students. Try and talk with the lecturers in charge of the course and explain your situation to them.

Personal comments
The majority of the exams are oral exams which is very different to my home university system, it was a bit nervewracking but perhaps better than having to sit written exams with limited language ability. I would suggest though that the student attempts the exam at the first possible opportunity to get a feel for the system and to repeat or improve on the exam.

I'm not ready yet to give such a kind of advice. I've been said by some italian students that interaction with teachers could be better, beacause normally they explain and students listen and take their notes. That's no bad at all but in Spain I find it's important that students can ask or add anything they want, whenever they want.

Make sure that you introduce yourself to the professor and discuss whether or not you will be able to handle the course requirements. Sometimes, they can make recommendations (or even alternative ways of completing the course) if it may be more challenging due to limited language skills.

Make sure the professors at your home university are happy with your choice of courses at your host university. I had a problem with this. I did the wrong courses, found out afterwards, and nearly got kicked out of my home university a year later because I hadn't studied some necessary topics!

Introduce yourself to your host professors at an early stage so it is easier to ask them questions as time goes on. Also try to introduce yourself to some of the students on your courses so you can ask them abouts things as well; I did find this more difficult.
