Could anyone recommend a good audio/book course which specialises in learning wide Spanish vocabulary, preferably with native speakers? Thanks

Assimil's Spanish with Ease has a lot of vocab and it is an enjoyable course. It sells for $32 on Amazon which is an incredibly good deal. It is not organized as a vocab course. It is organized as several dialogues with audio of the dialogues. There is an advanced level also that has more of the same. The Living Language Ultimate and Ultimate Advanced courses also look good.

I would second Assimil and the Living Language Ultimate series.

Another resource, depending on your level, would be to find dual-language books (the Spanish on one side, the English on the other). You can start with simpler books like the Little Prince (you can get the dual text, plus the Spanish audio at http://www.bilingual-texts.com/library/spanish/).

You could try FSI which is a free program you can search for on google. I'm using FSI to learn MSA. I can't vouch for a specific Spanish course(they have two different courses for Spanish.) but I've learned much from the MSA one.

No native speakers on these resources, but have you heard of the 'Using Spanish' books by R. E. Batchelor? - Using Spanish Vocabulary and Using Spanish Synonyms might help you - and heck Using Spanish itself is probably worth getting too. Warning - not cheap!
