I have bought a few. I found the "Pimsler" Spanish CD's. I have burned one set up in my CD from repeated playing. Now I have it on my "Zune".
Digital.
The best...... Hands down.
I listen to my zune while working in my garden. I spend alot of time
in the garden and am learning some great Spanish...

Though we now live stateside full-time, we lived for 6 years in Ensenada and one thing that helped us immensely was that we had NO English-speaking
friends. None. If we wanted to converse (with anyone than each other), we had to interact with our Spanish speaking friends and in the community.
We would fight over who had to answer the phone at first - it was that painful. Watching the novelas helped a lot, trying to understand the news,
having help (and laughter) from very patient friends. I, personally, went to school prior to moving there to get the grammar which gave me confidence
but in actuality it took us a full two years of living there before we could really converse fluently. I now work in a community health center and
use Spanish on a daily basis but can already see that I have less proficiency. When we get to visit Mexico, it feels so good to stay in Spanish
rather than go back and forth which we're forced to do here. Everyone of us learn differently and I love hearing the different methods others have
used.

I've picked up my rudimentary Spanish from living in Honduras for a couple of years, and being married to mi muy macho Mexicano for 10 years. I can't
conjugate the verbs very well, but I usually get my point across (especially when speaking in the present tense!).
We went to Cabo this summer without hubby, so I had to interact with all the family in Spanish. We had one day where we visited about 4 different
families (our visiting day!). I will say that at the end of the day I was exhausted from speaking all that Spanish! I had to take my girls downtown
for some Dairy Queen to get back in the tourist mode! We had great visits, but something about that day of Spanish really wore me out!
I don't let on to my students that I speak Spanish until I hear them cussing at each other in Spanish, and then I ream them! They don't use any words
that I haven't heard mi esposo saying at home. I give him a hard time that his little girls will have a pretty big but vulgar Spanish vocabulary!
Saludos, Heather

The easiest way is to watch a Spanish language station that has subtitles. I was in La Paz staying at the Los Arcos cabanas, (had a great time) the
guy at the desk spoke excellent English, I asked him how he learned, watching English TV with subtitles.

put your t.v. and radio to only spanish.
When I moved here 28 years ago and did not speak Spanish. I took my kids to school and they also did not speak Spanish. at that time no phones no tv
only radio express from Los Angeles would come in. After about 6 months hearing only Spanish it started to come to me. My kids took maybe 3 months. Of
course they have perfect Spanish I still do not and may never. I can talk to most anyone in Spanish
go for tv and radio
good luck
