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!
