Even if you're like me and you struggle with languages, there is a very easy way to learn Spanish! This is the method I used and I became conversational in about two months. One month into this learning method, I was able to get by in Latin America, ordering food and living my day-to-day life.
First, you will need to build a base in Spanish. The best way to do this is to get a hold of good Spanish language learning software and/or audio programs. Spend one hour a day for a week learning the basics of Spanish grammar and speaking. This will teach you how sentences are structured and how to properly form your thoughts in Spanish. You will also learn the basic vocabulary words that are used most often in Spanish.
Next, and this is where you will learn LOTS of Spanish and VERY FAST, find someone who speaks the language and is willing to simply sit and talk with you in Spanish. This could be a loved one who speaks any Spanish at all, or it could be a neighbor or friend who speaks Spanish. Personally, I took a vacation in Panama for two months, and the hotel I was staying at had a friendly girl who wanted to help me learn Spanish because it helped her with her English. She would sit and talk with me in Spanish, and when I didn't know a word, I would ask her what the translation was. It was win-win for both of us! Go to Spanish-English forums and see if there is someone who is willing to Skype with you -- there are a number of people who are looking to improve their English and would LOVE to do this.
That is the easiest way to learn Spanish. Learn the basics, then IMMERSE yourself! The first week of simply sitting and speaking in Spanish will be slow, but by week two, you will surprise yourself with the level of fluency you achieve. Try it out!
