Best way to learn Spanish?

The best way to learn to speak and understand any language is to find a native speaker and chat. Do you live near any Latin American communities? See whether you can find someone who will speak in Spanish (only) with you for an hour or so several times a week.

Learning alone and on line will perhaps help your reading and writing skills.¡Buena suerte!

If you can’t move to a Spanish-speaking country to learn it, I’d do as @gailcalled said.

Also, watch a lot of Telemundo.

Go to Mexico and don’t stay in a resort. Rent an apartment, subscribe to a local newspaper, buy groceries and go to the corrida to watch a bullfight.

I’ve been using Live Mocha. Things are still pretty basic on there for me (starting at beginning) and not as comprehensive as the spanish courses I took at university where grammar was emphasized much more and language courses like Rosetta Stone et al take a ‘learn by doing’ approach. You could visit a country, take a language course there, or enlist in a college language course.

I’d say go somewhere where the main language is Spanish and don’t be afraid to make mistakes! I went to Spain over the summer and I came back rattling off Spanish like nobody’s business.
