i found when i lived there (los christanos and costa del solencio) after not very long i could understand quite alot.you tend to pick up key words in the conversation.i was only there 7 months and felt i could get by,albeit understanding alot more more than i could actually speek.
when i move back in august my plan is to have lessons.
