<p>We’re doing something crazy and letting our daughter, a HS sophomore, study in Spain next semester. She drove the entire process and researched options thoroughly. She is SO excited. From talking to people, it seems that she will be able to understand just about everything Spaniards say after three to four weeks. After three to four months, she will be dreaming in Spanish and not having to translate from English to Spanish before she speaks. She will be there February through June. DH turns 60 in March, so I told him to celebrate he should go sightseeing with her at the end of her stay.</p>
