Personal comments
Living in a foreign country and forcing yourself to use their native language everyday is the only way to learn. Obviously there are difficulties to be expected but having a few drinks with locals and focusing on using whatever level of the language you have is the only way to work through your stuggles and become fluent in a foreign language.

I chose to room with foreigners, but French foreigners and we speak spanish together. This was perfect I think. If I had of taken courses with mexicans, I would have made friends there, and then still came home to my friends, who speak the same as me, and who understand everything, and want to do the same things as you...EVERYTHING.

I knew basic spanish phrases before I went to Mexico, and since I studied there my language skills have improved dramatically. The one problem I do have is that native people speak too fast so it's hard to comprehend. When the language is spoken more clearly I have less difficulties in undersatnding.
