Ways to learn some quick, conversational spanish?
I work at an organization that offers clothes, food and education assistance to those who need it. Probably 95% of people I deal with daily are spanish. I have a translator that stays with me, but often times I think it would be easier if I just knew a little spanish to help other people or to help myself when my translator is not with me. I don't want to spend a great deal of money on lessons or software to learn. So, any suggestions?

This Squidoo lens has various tips for learning Spanish: http://squidoo.com/spanish-is-easier-than-you-think as well as links to some recommended courses (both free and commercial).
I used BYKI (free from here: http://omniglossia.com/courses/transparent-spanish ) to pick up basic vocabulary. The deluxe version has over 2,500 words, but you need their other courses to get into reading of texts and understanding linked spoken language.
I also found a free ebook with over 2,000 cognates in Spanish/English that is a great start (makes you realise how much you actually know without studying a thing!) – it’s listed on the Squidoo site I mentioned above too (http://squidoo.com/spanish-is-easier-than-you-think ).
And finally even though you’re keen on a course, for a really quick initiation you could try courses by Fluency Fast. It’s my favourite for learning quickly and getting confidence in the language. There are various levels. Their site is: http://www.fluencyfast.com/ Not too pricey either and very effective.
Oh and a piece of software recommended by a friend of mine is Rocket Spanish – he loves it: http://smartguides.ws/rocket-spanish/ There’s a special offer at the moment to save 67% according to their website.
Best of luck with your Spanish…
