learning spanish in one month?

I've started looking into immersion programs in Guatemala for learning Spanish. I want to learn Spanish so I have more opportunities in my professional field. I don't expect to be fluent anytime soon however I want/need to be able to understand Spanish speakers and be able to answer back.

I would prefer to go for 3 mos so I could get a really good handle on the language however being gone for that long presents logistical complications- mainly, I'd have to eat the rent at my current apartment for that whole time. Yes, I could try and find someone to sublet my room etc etc but that can present some problems in and of itself.

So, my question is: Do you guys think I could get passable Spanish in just one month in an immersion program in Guatemala?

Thanks!
