I went to college with my hubby full time ,when we first moved to the canary islands. We did 2 years of a diploma course in 9 months, so it was pretty intensive. I now have a good grounding but also I know that there is more stuff that I dont know - past tenses are a killer. I know a couple of ways of saying some things in the past tense - I ate, I have eaten etc but i know there are loads of more ways.
Since we have moved from a spanish area into a tourist zone - for business purposes, we have less opportunity to practice and so i feel I am losing some of my spanish. It is essential that you keep practicing.

Alot of people say ' oh the spanish like to practice their english and so you dont get the chance to speak any spanish'. If someone spanish speaks to me in english then i carry on in spanish knowing i can slip in an english word if necessary. That way, we both get to practice.
