I won the prize for the best first year student in Spanish at  UW-Madison.
It was all Castilion, of course since Latin American Spanish was  looked
down upon.  The awards ceremony at the end of the term were all  in
Spanish, and I was presented with two small Goya etchings.  It goes to 
show how classy things were back in he 1950's.  In any case, I  remember
pretty well understanding the whole awards ceremony.  Indeed, what  a
year in Spain would have done, but it was not to be for a pre-medical
student.
 
To show the genetic competition that existed for my younger brother,
Paul, (but not vise-versa), he won the same prize 4 years later  and
got 2 Goya etchings as well.
 
I now live with a person whose native language is Spanish, but I  really
speak only words and phrases here and there......and not in  Castilion.
