When we moved to Spain 4 years ago, neither of us could speak a word of Spanish. Now after all this time and some lessons we can converse, but even after four years it is still difficult.
Moving to a rural area in Spain you will find that hardly any of the locals speak English.
So I have included an English / Spanish dictionary on this page along with some useful links to language courses, or visit our on line book shop. The Spanish language is an essential tool you will need, if you intend to live and work here.
