I 'read' El Mundo Deprotivo' every day for 2 years watched footy in Spanish (3 games on a Saturday) and spent a LOT of time getting drunk so my natural shyness didn't matter and I just dived in...Went back this year and could still make some small talk in bars which was nice almost 30 years later. Newspapers articles titles were always difficult, full of the most difficult grammar and subtleties that I couldn't work out. The locals would always swap from Catalan to Spanish when they saw me( obvious foreigner) which I always thought was pretty nice of them.
