Am thinking of taking up Spanish classes. Some kind of evening class after work. Just wondering if anyone has done something like this or knows any places that does them? Or even what your experiences of same were?

Yeah, I really wanna learn Spanish too.
I was thinking of starting off with some of them language CDs or whatever.
Any tips on classes also welcome.
E: there is not spelling or grammar on pimsler, you need another course or a human for that.
theres some basic stuff on www.studyspanish.com. But they want you to sign up after a while.
I was looking at some of the CD stuff you can buy. That Rosetta Stone shit is bleedin rip-off. Will keep looking.
Am thinking now that some kind of textbook for the basics along with a basic reader (actually must look for one of them in French to brush up on the cupla focail I have in that) might be ok for starters. And maybe the spanish news on the internet once in a while to see can I pick up something.
Will deffo do a course too though. Was looking at the link washingcattle ; posted. Those are 3 hour classes. It looks good but I reckon my limit might be somewhere less than 3 hours. I get to a point where my brain overloads and I need time to digest shit I just learned. Otherwise its forgotten.

Rosetta Stone is pretty tedious - I tried a couple of times but keep ditching it. It's also very very expensive.
The FSI courses are good, they are in the public domian (they were designed by the US gov for foreign service employees) so are free with a bit of googling. Pretty to the point and free of the kind of cute bullshit that makes me want to throw most courses against the wall.
There are a lot of good podcasts - try News In Slow Spanish
ANKI is a good tool for learning. It's like a flashcard programme. It repeats the cards based on whether you fuck up or not, it's supposed to reinforce or some shit.
(also I am the absolute worst person in the world who's advice you should take on learning a language)
