Language immersion; how I plan to rapidly advance my spanish knowledge Hello everyone, I am writing with exciting news! I am just now planning to realize one of my language learning goals, visiting a native Spanish speaking country. This is a goal that has taken me nearly 10 years to achieve. Right now it seems that I will only have about 4-5 weeks, but this is my only chance. I will be planning for October, 2014! Actually, by then my last year of professional studies will begin. Following that I may only have 1-4 weeks a year for vacation that I could travel. Now I have the time but not the money. After my studies are completed I will have the money but not the time. Jaja, life is funny! Anyway, it is now or never. What suggestions do you have for preparing to visit a Spanish speaking country? Are there any world travelers out there with tips on how they did it? How should I plan where to visit? Keep learning!
