I take Spanish now in high school. They do not go into depth much, but you do get a basic understanding. I am going into Spanish 2. What software or books would you recommend to help me learn Spanish?

Ultimate Geek asked:


I am a teenager who has just completed Spanish 2. I know how to say commonly used words; conjugate verbs, including irregulars, into different tenses like preterite, past progressive, etc.; and to construct complex sentences. However, I still do not feel like I have an acceptable grasp on the language. While I know the basic verbs, there are still many that confuse me. When spoken to in rapid Spanish, I have difficulty in determining what others are saying. Also, once I do realize what words they are saying, I have to think, “Okay, duele, what does that mean?”. I am hoping to be able to understand without this secondary step of having to think it over. I know that the only way to achieve fluency is to be around native speakers in a Spanish-speaking country, but since that is impossible at the moment I am hoping to find the best way to achieve mastery in conversation and reading. Is there any program that skips over the basics and gets to these topics?

Yes, I both speak Tagalog(my 1st language) and English very fluently.

Well, I want to learn Spanish as a third language, because I have alot of Hispanic Friends here in my school. And Spanish is the 2nd most spoken language in the US, while Tagalog is the sixth. English is the First.

Go to this site, It has all the Tagalog loanwords from different races.

Please recommend any good softwares, websites. That’ll help me understand Spanish. )

Oh and Tagalog is not a race, it’s one of the members of the Filipino languages. And Filipino is a race, and Philippines or Filipinas is a country named after King Felipe II of Spain. (alot of people mistake Tagalog as a race)

I’m in a California police academy. There are LOTS of Hispanics here and many speak little or no English.

I believe that if I am going to be successful in a career of public service in this state, I will need to become conversational in Latin American Spanish.

I picked up some simple phrases while in port in Mexico on a cruise. “Mi amigo, una margarita, si por favor. Sin sal, el hielo ….. gracias”. Short of moving to Mexico for ten weeks though, what is the best way to become conversational?

I have looked at the Rosetta Stone software. I like the premise, but not the price. Is it really worth it, or is it just a gimmick?

Are there any effective software programs or websites that don’t cost an arm and a leg?

Taking a class will not be an option until after the academy, so what I’m really interested in is an effective home study course.
