I'd like to drastically improve my Spanish speaking skills over the next year and was wondering if anyone has gone to Mexico or Central America for a month or so to work on his/her Spanish?
I took up through intermediate Spanish classes while in undergrad, and can understand regular conservation pretty well; however, speaking fluidly is an issue for me. I can study grammar all day long and listen to others speak (no real issues with watching TV or listening to music in Spanish), but I'm not going to improve without actually speaking back. I'd like to go somewhere where I'm surrounded by mostly Spanish speakers so I can't revert back to English. Learning some medical Spanish would be a plus too.
So, has anyone done this?
