Memorizing songs does really help, because it helps you put words to the emotions conveyed in the song. Never worked for me cuz im not really into spanish or latin music.

This can also improve your pronunciation and increase your vocabulary. However, if you cannot find a native speaker a non-native speaker will serve as well. Also, whoever gave you the advise of watcing movies and TV shows in spanish was right. It is a really good way to develop fluency and also it might be useful that the movie or TV show displays english subtitles so you can check on words you dont know, common expressions (and actually learn them) and to be aware of vulgar words or expressions. However, songs may not be as useful because, as in english, some songs contain incorrectly structured sentences and words that are only used among certain communities or cultures; And remember that to develop fluencyb you must NOT structure a phrase in english in your mind and then translate it. You HAVE to structure the phrase in spanish and actually THINK in spanish. Good luck in South America! :) Well, if you want to really develop a fluent spanish (assuming, of course, that you already fully understand spanish grammar, spelling, verb tenses, etc.) you might want to get in contact and spend some time just conversating (in spanish, of course) about every-day topics with a native speaker, and allow him to correct you and to teach you spanish common expressions.
