Learning Spanish in Spain

I spent last week and will spend next week learning to speak Spanish here in Granada.

I have about 3 hours of courses a day. Last week, I would get up in the morning, have breakfast, do some homework then review and then go to class until 6 or 7 in the evening. I am not doing much else during the day as it was pretty overwhelming - especially at first.

I expected that the classes would introduce the language slowly, build a minimum vocabulary and then build from there. Instead the instructors teach grammar and vocabulary almost completly in Spanish. So alot of the time I dont know exactly what the grammar teacher is saying - but I get enough to get the general idea and also get to practice undertanding the language.

Anyway here is how to ask someone their name, how to answer, ask where he is from and how to answer...
¿Como te llamas? (my pronounciation: komo tay yamaz)
Soy Sean

¿De donde eres? (day donday airez)
Soy canadiense

More likely though you might also ask someone their information by asking "¿Y tu?"...

Often I forget what language I am speaking and try and pronounce things in french. For example instead of pronouncing "te" as "tay" I say "te". I also want to not pronounce the trailing ´s´es for some reason.
