<p>If you have done 2 study abroads, how are your conversational skills weak? I just did a year in Chile and I am nearly fluent.</p>
<p>Studying abroad is not 2 weeks in a foreign country.</p>
<p>I've spent a total of 6 weeks. I just don't speak as well as a write. Maybe I'm just tough on myself. I understand fine.</p>
<p>for the 100-level spanish classes, would a semester away from spanish (can't fit it in my schedule) put one at a disadvantage when beginning again?</p>

<p>Another question... Can I study abroad in a Spanish country if I chose not to major or minor in it? I'm thinking about 104 (advanced grammar) instead of 101 (advanced writing). This would solve some scheduling inconviences.</p>

<p>I don't think that you need to be majoring/minoring in spanish in order to study abroad in Madrid or anywhere else. However, the study abroads in spanish-speaking countries are some of the more popular ones, so you'll want good grades in spanish classes.</p>
<p>As for taking breaks between classes, I really don't see a problem with it. I took a semester off from spanish last year, and then took 63 second semester and did fine. I'll be taking 76 next semester, and then will take a 100-level class (probably 105) the following fall.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help... one last question: Does taking 104 satisfy the language requirement?</p>
