I'd like to get working on that, seems like a good language to know. Any good, free sites where I can learn the basics?

School, in-person, is the best way to learn Spanish.

I tend to learn fine out of books, I'm good enough at teaching myself. Besides, I don't take it in school until Junior year, two years from now.

Yeah, spanish is a high slang language. Its hard to learn without someone teaching you. I'm taking it all 4 years in highschool. I got through 2 already, and there is still SOOOO much more. It's hard. Russian is harder though...and I'd like to learn that...

Nah, too few Germans in the States. Unless there's mass German immigration over here, or they start yet another world war, there's no real reason to learn it.

Screw Mexico, MOVE TO SPAIN! Learning Spanish at school, but damn, the Spanish talk so damn fast.

Spanish is easier than English, in my opinion, especially when it comes to verbs. Verbs in Spanish work out nice and easy. It's almost like doing a math problem, you don't know the answer but you know how to solve. The irregular verbs are far and few between, and they are easily apparent.

The only problem comes in the sheer number of categories of verbs.

Another problem is that Spanish and English are alke sometimes but very different at others.

However, there is a bonus- once you learn Spanish, you can understand fairly well the other Romance languages: Portuguese, French, Italian, and Romanian.

This is known as the "Throw the kid in the water to teach him to swim" method.

Got a book on it, done several pages, it's pretty easy so far. I'll do a bit more later.
