I hope to, I am going to watch Spanish news and listen to Spanish radio for a week or two then get started on the basics.

Any tips?

Rosetta Stone Spanish.

Perhaps the best program for learning languages.

Particularly the Grammar and Verb Drills sections. It will come in very, very handy.

I'm doing something similar, trying to learn Ali/Michie's accent, listening to their voice clips and repeating I might also try the news but I don't know where I'd find that.

Best of luck to you.

Yes. That's what I'm using/used. Along with reading Spanish magazines and stuff. Oh and you should switch your Neopets language to Spanish (if you play that is )

Rosetta Stone is shit. Try the Michelle Thomas cds. Far less expensive, time consuming and tedious. Rosetta Stone just drills stuff into your head through a million repetitions of the same thing - rote learning crap. Plus, with Michelle Thomas, you can chill anywhere and do it.

I've heard bad things about it but I'll give it a try.

I forgot to add in my last post:
If you want free, just download Podcasts from iTunes. Coffee Break Spanish, for example, is a great one.

Sorry, is there any other way to aggregate these podcasts. I don't use Itunes

You can download the mp3 files for Coffee Break Spanish right here.

My chime: After using Rosetta Stone, I would have to agree that it's not that great. It is sorely lacking in grammar and even the contextual memorization isn't that great.

I've taken Spanish for two years in high school already and I'm not going to lie, it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
