Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur are two very good programs. I would start with one of their quick and simple programs and then move into higher levels if you have time. Enjoy Mexico!

I’m mexican… the same question goes to you… how can I learn english? I recomend you listen and listen conversations between people who speak it… and other way is listening to songs or watching tv in spanish. This way has been good for me… I don’t know completaly the language but this works.

The easiest way is to live in a Spanish speaking country. Seriously. That’s how I learned. If that isn’t possible I would recommend Pimsleur over Rosetta. I have used both to learn Portuguese and find the Pimsleur method to be superior. It concentrates more on actual conversations while Rosetta goes more towards individual sentences or words. However, both methods offer a very comprehensive package to get you started. Along the way you will need some books on grammer as Spanish tenses are much more complicated than in English. Ditto with pronouns. I have listed a site below which offers both courses at a substantially reduced price. That means they are selling you copies they have run off on their computer. :) Or you can get them for free by looking around the bit torrent sites. Buena suerte.

Hello!
I agree totally! There is no better way to learn spanish than in the country itself. I did it in Argentina in the country and the best thing were that i didn’t just learn the language i also got to know the culture. If you want mor informacion about my experiance, write me an mail!
Greetings Daniel
