Language learners. Which Spanish course or none?

[FearoftheNight]

Hey guys. Just thinking about enrolling in a Spanish course at my local community college. Some background...my Spanish is moderately conversational..online assessments place me at about S3 or intermediate/high intermediate level. Would a course help me improve? I see that they offer intermediate and conversation Spanish courses. Also, my Spanish 90% wasn't learned in class...mostly through social contact. Thoughts?

maybe grammar type course if you learned through conversation? You can learn vocabulary on your own.

Whatever you do...DO NOT buy that Rosetta Stone crap.


<<<Intermediate/Advanced(maybe lol) Japanese

how old are you? if you are young with no responsibilities, head to do central/south america down there. this is the real way to learn.

I spent 6 months down in south america, before i went there, my spanish was very limited. by the end, i could make some spanish speaking friends. my spanish is still not great, but not bad for spending on 6 months there.

depending on you really but IMO either michel thomas or pimsleur. try both. i find pims more structured but then i do the michel one for a balance.

I always understood the best place to learn a language was in bed.

Already at that intermediate level. Spent a half year in Argentina. Just wondering if I can keep improving it.
