Ah thank you for the info 😊
Learning Spanish is a massive advantage, I have and am over 70
Cabo Roig, is similar to picking up an English County, or Irish and placing it in. The Costa Blanca, no need to worry about the language of the locals, as it ranges from English and Irish dialect.. 😉 😁 But lovely place... U will enjoy...

Congratulations on learning a new language at 70 ,you must have been very single minded to achieve this ,I think back to my time at school when being taught French ,i think my brain must have been more open to knowledge at that time as now remembering some Spanish words would be an achievement for me

Learning Spanish its not for the faint hearted
Unless you grew up in Spain in opinion
the only way to learn Spanish is to spend time with Spanish people
I met a retired spanish policeman at the Gym jose helped me so much
from then I taught English to Spanish speaking people so I was improving my Spanish
whilst my Pupils were learning English

RuthAnn. I am also over 70 years old and use Duolingo. It is an internet based language teaching aid which you can study at your own pace. It is free for basic Spanish but if you want to learn at a faster more concentrated pace you pay a fee. I can now converse quite freely in conversational Spanish, although it is quite difficult at my age to think in English, speak in Spanish, listen in Spanish and understand in English. As part of the course there is the opportunity to listen to Spanish broadcasts which will help your understanding. Hope this helps
I find a few people excel at languages, but like most I unfortunately don’t, and never will!
