I wasn’t sure where to post this so whacked it here, please feel free to move it if it’s in the wrong place.

I’m currently in SEA and looking to escape the British winter. I’ve been learning Spanish on and off for about a year now, although I’m very much still at beginner level. But I’m looking to take it further...

I’ve been searching for courses based in Malaga, Spain. I did think about semester based courses but they don’t start until October and that kinda defeats half of my plan. I’ve been doing a bit of research but can’t decide between a smaller school or the courses run out of Malaga university.

Does anybody have experience with this? I’m looking at a 4 week intensive course. 20/25 hours a week... realistically how far can I progress in a month?

Everybody's different, man. A month isn't enough to get fluent, but you could get low intermediate.
Find an incentive that really works for you.
For me the incentive was dating beautiful women in South America. If I didn't get conversational, I wouldn't stand a chance with them. That was the whipcrack that I needed.

In any event, language acquisition works either 1) from the ground up, living daily life, listening to people, or 2) from the top down, through the formal study of grammar, often from textbooks. Most people learn best through option 1. I learned Spanish thru option 2, then switched over to option 1 once I had the grammar tables in my head. YMMV.

Cheers bro!

Yeah the main reason for learning is the gorgeous Latin woman! I have no interest in any other languages but I’m just obsessed with wanting to learn Spanish. I can conjugate verbs etc already, I’m probably ‘advanced beginner’

Unfortunately the course isn’t run out of the main university but you do get complete access to it so could be perfect for gaming too.
