Hi.
I'm comfortable with basic Spanish grammar (verb forms, por vs para, ser vs estar, etc)
so I don't have much problem reading magazine article, newspaper and some books (provided
I have a dictionary handy)
My commute to work every day is really long and I need to improve on listening and
speaking skills. Are there any MP3s/CD's that would help me do that?
Thanks

I listen to (and sometimes shadow) Assimil dialogues on the way to work every morning. You may also pick up an audio book and simply listen to it. There are a lot of Spanish language audio books available. I listen to audio books when I do long drives.

General listening material is probably best (ie not a "course", just radio programs etc), but nothing too difficult as you don't want to distract yourself from paying attention. If you've got a Hispanic radio network in your area just tune your car stereo to it.
Alternatively, download radio podcasts and slow them down with something like Audacity before burning them to CD.

I shadowed also the dialogs from Assimil, but stopped it because the traffic in Germany is too horrible to pay attention to the dialogs :)
