Personal comments
I lived in Spain before my Erasmus for couple months, so I handled well everyday situations, but my Spanish really improved especially thanks to all the readings and discussions we had on the University, but also because of the rich social life I had in my free time.

As spanish people like to talk, it was no problem at all to talk with them.Apart from the fact that the andalusians speak a pretty hard dialect I am able to understand the dialect after the exchange semester. Of course, I intend to speak the appropriate language.

I advanced incredibly doing the following: studying the language (as in language course), supplimenting with other litterature (ex.academic subjects), and socializing with the locals - it is hard work, but at the end it is all worth it :)

I went to Spain with no confidence and limited language skills. I spent the first parts being unable to understand people/classes. I came away with a mountain of confidence, a decent accent, a lot more vocabulary and an ear for the language.

In classes its easier, but while taking a beer, people in andalucia talk faster then their shadow, and use losts of slang, so if you really want to perfectly be at ease with that, you have to live only with them. It's hard to catch.

Gramatically, Spanish is quite an easy language to learn but the Andaluz accent is more difficult to understand because they cut off half of the words when they speak. Try to find someone from Granada and speak to them beforehand.
