As a English only American(even though I did have a year of German/Spanish in high school/jr. college and remember nothing)I wonder if anyone can tell me of a good set of language tapes for learning Spanish?

And after reading everyone's multilingual abilities I feel like a real moron. About the only phrase that sticks in my mind that my grandmother taught me is either Polish or Bohemian-'ya milooyou tebeh'..phonetically and I believe means 'I love you'?

As Ben P says down in this thread, try Pimsleur.  The Spanish section is quite extensive and it WORKS.  It got my foot in the door for Romanian that's for sure.

I learned Spanish the hard way via gov't tapes.  It was more thorough but far, far too rigid and what you really want in a language is to feel like speaking it is no chore.
