Answer 1

Spain is a fantastic place to visit and vacation! Should definitely check out Madrid, or any of their fantastic beaches. the north part of spain was really interesting and beautifully green, but they also speak Basque there along with Spanish (lo que se llaman el Castellano allá). Spain is pretty multilingual so keep in mind you might hear other languages besides Spanish, and most likely not much English. Other languages are Basque (in Northern part of Spain, if you go check out Bilbao and San Sebastian). In Barcelona, Cataluña (northeastern) I hear the Catalán language is very popular, just as common and as much as spanish. And also in Galicia (the little area in northwestern tip of peninsula above Portugal) they speak Gallego. If you're looking for strictly Spanish atmosphere, perhaps the central region of the country is best, especially Madrid.

In any case, the more Spanish you can learn the better.

Answer 2

Hello everybody! I'm a girl from Iran, there aren't any español classes in my city, so I just learn it from this site. However, the problem is that if I travel to Spain, can I speak [English] or is English not spoken in Spain? Can I speak and solve my problems in English, or should I study Spanish really well? I will be so happy if you could help me.

You should accustom yourself to the common phrases and verb conjugations if you plan on travelling there soon. You will find some people that speak English, rememebr everybody doesn't so don't go up to a stranger speaking English as expecting that they will understand you. If you plan on going in the futurem definately study some Spanish, and get accustomed to the way they speak, especially the accent.

To be completely honest, I'm sure you'd be fine without knowing any Spanish. I know a lot of people who don't know more than 10 words in Spanish have a great time in Spain.

hi,thanks for your guidance i dont wanna go to spain so early u have plenty of time so i think that i should learn it more not just for travel but for learning a new language!!anyway thanks - sepid76, Jul 9, 2012
