Same as me and I'm English
Learning a new language is difficult and often depends on whether a person has that type brain, i.e. whether they enjoy languages and learning them. I live in Bulgaria and have had to learn a completely new alphabet as well as the language. For me it has taken 5 years but for other English or British here it never comes as they don't have interest in it or can't be bothered putting in the time or effort. Immerse yourself amongst the Spanish and stay away from English bars and you will soon have no choice but to start picking words up. Good luck and have fun with it.
rossidanny: I am an English man living in the north of Spain, and I have been here just under 6 months, and my Spanish is well far from being anywhere near perfect. I try everything that I can do to improve, I have Spanish classes twice a week, and I try to communicate with Spanish people with in the city and my area.
Sometimes I think that some days I great and speaking and understanding people in Spanish and see improvements, and then there are others days where there is no Spanish in me and when Spanish people are speaking to me, I´m thinking what the hell are you saying. There is ment to be a reputation that us English people are a little lazy when it comes to learning a second language, but not me he he!

You hit the nail on the head!Yes ... stay away from other ex-pats who speak English all the time........ Join in the local things, and be forced to speak the language!
