I'm trying to learn spanish. I've already graduated from college so I'd rather learn through book, cd, etc. or by speaking it with others. I started with the Complete Idiot's Guide to Spanish. It really helped me with learning the proper pronuciation (spelling is off). It was taking too long so a Mexican co-worker said that I should learn as many key phrases as possible. After that, go back and study the book. What do you guys think?
