Besides classes in high school, i want to learn more on how to speak spanish. Any websites, books, etc. that I can learn from?!
Let me tell you about my personal experiences when trying to learn English.
I tried going to an English school for a few months, luckily I learnt a lot, fast and easy. But it was just grammar.
Many years after that, I attended to another school, here in Mexico, it’s called Interlingua, these guys claim they make you speak English within a year. Pure junk!
After that school, I decided to learn by myself.
First advice: Don’t stay too much in a school, unless you see real progress.
Second advice: If you already know the grammar basics, and have studied for a while, go the next step. Talk to the real thing, I mean, native spanish speakers. Social networks, Skype.
Third advice: Practice your four basic skills, listening (listen to podcasts or the radio in Spanish through the internet), reading (newspapers in spanish, or whatever you can get, on-line books), writing (start writing whatever it comes to your mind, you will soon find yourself THINKING in spanish doing this), and speaking (also, try with native speakers, tourists, whatever it makes you feel comfortable with the language).
Fourth advice: Don’t learn the language just because you NEED it, but because you LIKE it. That makes a HUGE difference, believe me. I know a lotta people who’s trying to learn English just because they need it for their jobs, but they always fail, because they actually hate it! I started learning it at 16 just because I wanted to know what was that guy… John Lennon saying?…
Fifth advice: Don’t spend too much money on trying to learn, practicing your four basic skills as I told you before is cheap. Don’t buy miraculous solutions.

I like the first guy’s answer :=D but I’d have to say an immersion program.

Living in a Spanish speaking environment is the best. See if you arrange a period of time on an exchange visit. You live with a Spanish family for say a month. You then return the favour by having a Spanish student to stay with you. See if your school/college has anything like this.

Myself. Also I’m trying to speak to more native english speakers, if you’re interested, send me a message.
Ive always spoken spanish since im from Puerto Rico, but ive noticed that what u learn in school is only some level of basics. they cannot teach you the full language since its not used the same way as its supposed to. manny words change, slang makes it all different, and a word can have manny meanings depending on where you live. I suggest movies books and magazines….. once u know the basics, read as much as u can and translate it.
also chat online and dont be ashamed to speak it to other people who speak the language
