You can purchase the Michel Thomas cd's and go from there. An hour per day, even a half hour while communicating will yield good results. The journey to fluency is a long one. But if you stay in Latin America there will be great rewards from being at least conversationally fluent, which is a matter of say, 2000 words. The grammar is not that difficult and there are many cognates. Spanish starts out relatively easy compared to non-European languages but it has extraordinary subtleties. It would be ridiculous not to at least try.
- erdaypixelin 13y agoThanks for bringing Michel Thomas to my attention. I had never heard of him before but a quick Google search has got me interested. I actually picked up Rosetta Stone and use it regularly. Although, I'm learning more from just attempting to have conversation. We make out pretty well but definitely can't say anything outside the present tense. And that's where my buddy is going with all this.
