How much of the local language do you need for daily living? Are local language classes/tutors available and affordable?
A lot: Spaniards hardly speak anything but Spanish. Some make an effort, but their English teachers obviously don"t speak the language themselves so it"s easier to learn some Spanish yourself! Be aware of the strong Andalucían accent. A good option is an "intercambio" with a Spanish student, so you can both pick up each other"s language. - Oct 2008
