Starting to learn Spanish, any ideas estibador?
Yeah, give up! Even when you think you know the words you can't understand them with their machine gun rapid talking style.
I've got this multimedia program which is pretty good...

...lets you record yourself speaking and then breaks it down in various ways to compare how you sound with a native speaker.
A fellow Freo fan put me onto this poster he designed which is pretty handy for remembering all the different variations of verbs, which I always found bloody confusing.

SBS is useful with all their foreign movies too. I record the Spanish ones and am slowly building up a library. Hopefully one day I'll be able to watch them with the subtitles covered up and be able to understand what's going on.
I'm pretty lazy though and pretty half-hearted about how much time I put in, so I'm still very much a rookie. Been thinking of taking a night class at TAFE if any of them offer it to kick my arse into gear.
