Help! Should I study abroad in Spanish speaking country or Italy? HELP!?

Question

Background
-Born in Los Angeles from French parents
-Speak fluent english and french
-Took 4 years of Spanish, I am between intermediate and advanced, I know how to conjugate verbs of all tenses even irregular in a split second, My only problem is that I need to be comfortable with the language and need to speak it fluently.
-I studied Italian for 2 weeks, but big time during the summer. I was surprised how quickly I learned things with the help of French, English, and Spanish.
My question is should I study abroad over the summer in a spanish speaking country to improve and become proficient in Spanish or should I go to Italy to gain Intermediate knowledge.
I mean I do live in LA, with spanish newspapers, spanish tv, spanish radio, hispanics. So I feel that I shouldnt go to a spanish speaking country since there is everything here in LA.Compare to Italy there is only Italia. But I also think Spanish is more important since everyone speaks it here in the western hemisphere. HELP

Answer 1

Considering that spanish is the second language in the world you should think about learning spanish if you can do it in Spain will be great. Also since you are on that you might want to consider take some latin classes, those will help you lots when it comes to learn different languages...

Answer 2

What a great question.
I think that if I were you, I would opt to study in Spain. There you could learn fluent Spanish (though not L.A. Spanish), and you could probably easily take a train to Italy to see some sites and practice yet another language.

Bonus: France is right there!
