Hello,
Try this Method

It’s very good, I use this to improve My Spanish

bye bye

Try one of the following:

Rocket Spanish
Spanishpod101

Both give free trail so you can try it and decide if it good for you.

You should try they have a very good program and they can give you what u really need. Take care

There are several free courses out there:

is one of them.

Depending on your learning style different software will work better or worse for you. There are some reviews at the site above. I also recommend viewing the product sites themselves. Don’t just look as what they offer or include but look at how they teach. This will help you choose something that will work for you.

Try just doing livemocha.com…plus spanish.about.com.

Together, you have a pretty good course, and in livemocha, you´ll meet lots of native speakers….not that many from Spain in there, but lots of natives to practice with.

And go to nosayudamos.ning.com….a few native Spaniards, there.

Hi Sorcha,
Wow that sounds exciting that you are traveling to Spain soon, and I give you props for studying Spanish before you go.
It will really help, people get so excited when you come to their country and speak their language, and keep in mind, no matter how much or how little you speak it doesn’t really matter as long as you a trying.
I recommend a couple of choices that I feel are the best and worked for me. Rocket Spanish and Visual Link Spanish. They come with interactive lessons and down-loadable lessons (which are great for listening in your car or while jogging etc). And the price is extremely reasonable.

En Español
