Learning Spanish on My Own TIme
I have been interested in learning how I can teach myself Spanish. I find that knowing Spanish is incredibly useful for business and social purposes. Think of all the Hispanic people you can meet - knowing Spanish gives you an inside edge, whether you are looking for a client or date. Since I have a busy schedule, I needed self-paced instruction methods. These are the methods I found, along with my recommendations.

- I'm from the U.S. and I do speak Spanish. Being from the U.S. I thought for a long time I couldn't learn a second language. Now I know better.
