How much will I improve whilst in Spain?
Hey! I'm going to study in Spain for four weeks (25 hours per week). I have studied up to A2/B1 standard (AS level Spanish in the UK) so far. What level of the CEFR do you think I can get to by the time I return? Thanks.

Hi everyone! Apologies for the hugely late response. When I arrived in Spain I realised I knew far less than I once did! However, over the four weeks I learned a tremendous amount. The most useful part for me was living like I was Spanish. Everyday things such as buying food and speaking to the people I shared my apartment with was so useful. If anybody gets the chance I seriously recommend it! I wish I had the time/money to go again!
Thanks guys/girls. Hopefully it will all go well and I'll be sure to let you know how it went! I wish I'd found this site earlier.
I would have to say, it's all in what you put into interacting and wanting to learn the language. We could say 1000% more or -1000% less knowledge (if that was comprehensible at all) but it's all in what you put into the experience! Either way, Yes I'm jealous and I hope to hear how it went when you get back! 
Lots of luck.
Welcome to the forum. I don't know how much you will improve, but we all wish you well.
I think you will improve alot because for 1. you will be around may people who speak spanish and you will be able to learn some by listening....and with you also studying it, you will see a great amount of progress in your Spanish.
Spanish immersion is a wonderful way to learn Spanish. I believe you will learn at a very fast rate when you are immersed in the Spanish culture. You might not know how much Spanish you have actually learned until you are home again. Have a fun and safe trip!
