Learning Challenge

Name: Anonymous 2008-06-20 7:15

Okay, so on July 26th I'm going to Spain. I stopped learning Spanish in year 8 (when I was about 14) so to say my Spanish is rusty would be a bit of an understatement.

Either way, I want to try to learn as much Spanish as possible until then. I am a pretty fast learner (for example I can memorise about 500 kanji a week, and have started learning useful bits of Spanish vocab such as food, objects, places, etc) and not one to take shortcuts usually, but I have plenty free time until then anyway, so I don't mind about learning declensions etc. properly.

So, can anyone reccomend a plan or .. a breakneck 5 week learnfest that I can take? Any resources or paricular textbooks that I can steam through too? The vocab shouldn't be too much of a problem, I just want to make sure I have the grammar under by belt, with all verb forms.

Oh and I'd rather not buy any textbooks, just online resources/pdfs/rapishits if you may. I got a Spanish dictionary and that's all I plan to buy.

GO!

If OP did something like the Heisig method where you just learn how to write the kanji and one basic meaning, it's entirely possible. I did between 100-150 a day like that and I've never forgotten any of it.

It's not learning them properly, but he did just say "memorise", and doing so certainly speeds up the rest (the readings and getting a proper understanding of what each one means), so it's not entirely pointless - quite the oppoosite, in fact.

Although even if he did that he should have phrased it better or provided some explanation, rather than try to show off his e-peen.
