My Boston experience
Last year I decided to take a break on my usually very busy life and spend two months in another country, mainly to improve my english, but also to spend some time in a different environtment, sharing time with different people, different ways to work or see the life.
I´m in US since last week. My goal for this first week has been to accostumate my ear and try not to think in spanish or catalan but in english. Is so difficult! People from the office or family send me all kind of messages in spanish. Any advice from any person who had same situation in his life? Will be very welcome!!!

Maria, I applaud you for your efforts in learning another language and going to a country where you can use it! I had a similar experience when I wanted to learn Spanish. I went to Costa Rica for seven months and refused to speak English. It was very hard at first, but I got better as time went on. As for speaking with friends and family back home, I told them about my goals to learn Spanish and not speak English, and so I stopped talking to them for a time. I would only email everyone once a month to give them an update and respond to their questions. It may sound a bit extreme, but the less you can use your native language, the better you'll get in the language you want to learn. Best of luck to you, and most importantly, have fun!

Yeah I can understand your situation because I was already the same. I think that the best way to improve your English is that you should practice more with your friends. It is not easy to begin. And you are luckier than me cause you don't have to find people who can speak English.
