My wife swears by Michel Thomas (no, not that one) who has somewhat idiosyncratic methods. I'm a bit sceptical but she speaks better Italian and Spanish than me so what the fuck do I know?

this is good, plus spanish women love foreigners speakin their jib...
phonetics.... makes it easier.
but the fact that its a latin based(fantastic-fantastico/ excellent-excellente...etc.) should make it easy as a pigeon language but difficult to perfect- its more diverse than english

All people i know who speak another language well or fluently have lived in said country. Being forced by situation is the easiest way to learn

rosetta stone is not worth it if you are serious about learning the language fluently. its a fancy programme but at the end of it you DON´T come out speaking the language. you come out knowing a few phrases to get you by, like how many plates you want in a restaurant, and which colour apples you want to buy..
it depends what your current level is, but i´d say start off with the basics, maybe get a book with the english-spanish translations, simple words like ´shop´and ´cat´, etc.. but i think the main thing in spanish is the verbs and how to form them. the only way to learn those is to memorise them and practise.
try to get hold of spanish magazines and newspapers (or online), or some spanish tv streams, or films. however i think the only real way is to actually experience the language within the country.
i was learning spanish for 5 years in the UK when i lived there, i then moved to spain and being thrown into real life made me realise i had actually learnt next to NOTHING. how the natives talk in real life to eachother, with their slang and everthing taken into account.. that can´t be learnt from a book.
