When you start to learn Spanish in Caracas I recommend that
you set yourself some goals of reaching fluency in a certain
amount of time, like 3 months. That way you are creating some
pressure for yourself and you will focus your mind
excellently.
Leave the English at Home
Also, to really benefit from your trip, however long you
plan to stay there, try to avoid contact with other
English-speakers. The temptation to talk in English if you can
is too great when you are on an adventure in an exciting city
and you want to express yourself as quickly as possible.
Remember you can meet English-speakers at home any time you
like.
