Moving to Spain

Moving to Spain is a big step as you know. Before I moved here I didn't speak Spanish and had never been to Spain apart from a couple of short holidays to the islands. I knew that Yecla was a relatively un-touched traditional Spanish town with few English speakers. Quite a worrying thought to say the least so I decided to learn at least the basics of the language before I got here. I was on the road a lot with my work so I bought a set of audio lessons and went through them while on the road. I also typed out all of the main verbs, which are vitally important, and stuck them up in various places at home. Along with the reading I was doing I managed to get my understanding of the basics of the Spanish language far enough to get me by initially. I really would recommend at least familiarising your self with the fundamentals of the language. I never though I'd ever speak a foreign language in my life.
