https://www.dundee.ac.uk/study/short/spanishbydistancelearning/ is one I'm looking at currently.
I want to know a little more than just super basic Camino Spanish as I will be needing to have phone conversations to organise accommodation etc since I will be on the Levante and Invierno in Winter. I have 13 months to play with. I used to study languages at high school many moons ago so I'm not starting completely from scratch with the grammar.
I've started to listen to this. I've only done the first twenty or so podcasts, but the level is perfect for me. I can comfortably understand at least 95% of what he is saying without much translating in my head. He is speaking at the perfect speed for me. I wonder if the speed will increase after some more podcasts or if eventually I'll be looking for something a little faster as I work towards being able to watch or listen to something for actual Spanish-speaking people (which is currently just too fast for me to follow).I like the podcasts from Unlimited Spanish http://www.unlimitedspanish.com/podcasts/
He also sells courses, but podcasts are free, and the way that he teaches is very good.
Yes, he does start speaking a little faster as he goes on, and the language becomes a bit more complex.I've started to listen to this.

I've started to watch/listen to this, and it is quite good!I remembered another good resource - Destinos, which is a 52 episode TV show developed to teach Spanish.
Let us know how that goes!So I've decided to spend about 6 weeks in Guatemala this winter.
Now that I've booked my flights for Guatemala, I'm a little nervous - similar to how I felt when I booked my flights for my first Camino.I've started to watch/listen to this, and it is quite good!

Animo! Aupa! Ultreia!Now that I've booked my flights for Guatemala, I'm a little nervous - similar to how I felt when I booked my flights for my first Camino.
