So I took up a challenge to spend two hundred hours studying Spanish in the next two months or so. I was supposed to start yesterday but a sudden climate of illness befell me, and I haven't entirely recovered yet. I figured I'd ask you people (who have learned Spanish); what is my time best spent on doing?
TL;DR: Time: 200 hours Period: rest of this year Goal: Basic conversational skills (maybe even B1?????) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Get on iTalki and get the basic verb forms you need down. Spanish is a very verb-heavy
language and you need to know the forms for "I want" , "I am..." and such. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

The issue with learning the language isn't that there's too few materials- rather the opposite. My advice, any one basic course plus Destinos to start. Edited by iguanamon on 05 November 2014 at 3:33pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Well I've been doing the following:
I have four anki decks (currently) on my phone, 20 cards each I'm doing Assimil Spanish with Ease (20/100) I'm reading Teach Yourself Essential Spanish Grammar, almost done with it I'd estimate I've worked with Spanish for six hours out of 200. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Like what he said--way too many options to choose from. :) Since you are experienced at learning non-Romance languages, I imagine that you can transfer methods to Spanish. If you prefer audio, do audio; if you prefer Assimil, do that. For myself, I find I much prefer to be able to write prose in the language as soon as possible, and I tend to gravitate toward verb conjugation tables and translation exercises. You will probably find Spanish much easier than your other languages, too. 1 person has voted this message useful |
