Learning Challenge

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!

Your douchebaggery has on for long enough, and I don't have it in me to keep listening to your ridiculous drivel. My final thoughts: either do it right, or don't do it at all. "Memorizing" hundreds of characters a week (if you are able to) does not count as learning the language at all, and is ultimately useless because you won't be able to engage in conversations and will not be able to read text in its correct context. That, and it's a slap in the face for people who DID invest the time in learning the language, doing it the right way.
