Use Anki to practice

I use Anki.srs.net flashcards to practice what I have learned and this allows me to see how well my Spanish learning is coming on.They have some spanish practice on their site but you can also add your own flashcards.You can compare your answers to the correct answers and see where you went wrong.You can dictate when anki shows you the card again depending on how well you remember the words or phrase.

Learn Spanish Quicker

I have learn spanish the same way that I learned English and I discovered it by accident.A friend at work was laughing to himself and when I asked what he was laughing at,he advised me he was listening to comedy podcasts that he had downloaded onto his MP3 player.I had a hunt about on the internet and found lots of podcasts to download free.I listen to them every night at work and can't believe how quickly my Spanish is improving.
I would highly recommend Coffeee Break Spanish who 80 podcasts you can download free on ITunes.Once you mastered thjat they do showtime Spanish which is the next level.a lot more advanced but also brilliant.Mark explains verb conjugation brilliantly.
Another great teacher is Michel Thomas and you can get his taster course free but I recommend buying the set which you can usually find second hand on ebay.
Another invaluable resource is a site called Spanish Dict which will allow you to look upo any words you don't know while listening to your podcasts.
