Another Tip
5 Words A Day...
Another quick tip here, which seems small, but will help you greatly in your aim to learn Spanish fluently.
Learn at least 5 words a day. Yes, that doesn't sound like a lot, but if you learn just 5 words a day, after 6 months, you will have learnt over 900 words.
Do this religiously. Just give yourself 10 minutes a day: 5 minutes to learn new words, and 5 minutes to revise the words from the day before.
