Very good advice. Its never too late to learn.at least learn the language and thereby appreciate more of Spanish culture. It can only be to our benefit
I have a friend, who after 10 years living in Marbella could not speak more than a couple of words of Spanish..she missed England..well all the good things she remembered... rented out her house.. and returned to England...to return a year later..with a lot more knowledge of Spanish and Spanish customs..she had spent most of the long evenings learning...since her return she finds her life in Spain enriched...and is constantly amassed.
