Afraid to lose my English skills I won in England
One month and a half in Spain after leaving England, my worst fear is reality. I think I'm losing some of my English skills I learnt in England. I'm trying to keep learning, reading or speaking English but it is quite different to be there, living everyday, speaking all the time English.
For me, it was too hard to learn it and I don't want to lose it in an easy way. Maybe this is one reason to be here, writing in English this post. I don't if anyone have felt the same sensation like me. Other problem about this is, in Spain, few people are able to speak in English. Almost of them speak only in Spanish because we are a country in which nobody want to speak other languages, so it is quite complicated to find a place where you can do an exchange language or tandem.
I would like to know if anyone can give an advice on this or which it'd be the best option to avoid losing my learnt skills.
Thanks a lot for your correction (my English is not perfect) and advices.
Alberto.

Hopefully and nowadays, young people are studying foreign languages because it's the only way to find a job (crisis). But, as you said, maybe it's better if you try to listen and speak Spanish once you are in Spain

I am going to Spain in two weeks and am a little nervous. The people really don't speak any English? But maybe that is best for me since I want to hear and speak only Spanish while I am there!

You english is cool. The only solution is a language partner. You have to find one (i don't believe there are no language exchange groups in spain). In an event where you can't find any, then skype is your only other choice..... My friend, don't lose what you worked so hard to achieve..... Suerte

I have the feeling too, So I still have to learn it by all kinds of means. You can find a language partner , especially someone who wants to learn Spanish , and talk to him/her.
