How I did it: My Spanish professor handed out some flyers for a study abroad opportunity to Salamanca, Spain.  And I went.  And it was fucking awesome.
I stayed with a host family while I was there, and that was a great experience because then I had to speak Spanish at home.  I also met two other study abroad students, two boys, one from Holland and the other from Germany.

Lessons & tips: Do try and at least pick up bits and phrases of the language spoken wherever you're going before you get there.
