Spanish language immersion
Where I am located there are very few spanish speaking people. I crave speaking the language, but only have access to Spanishdict.com and am anxious to speak face to face with native speakers, which I will do for two months in Puebla, Mexico this fall. My question is: Does the immersion method boost conversation ability within 2 months? I am highly motivated and study religiously on my own daily. Anyone had this experience?

I just moved to Spain last month. I have a few Spanish friends now but there´s really no room to be shy. It´s very difficult to go to a pub and walk up to a stranger and start chatting when you only understand x% of what they´re saying but if you keep doing it eventually someone will give you enough of a chance that they´ll persevere with you. I recommend making bilingual friends (much easier) who can bring you to things.
Otherwise you´ll only become really fluent at saying ¿Me pone un café solo?
