Ive very basic French from school and I learnt some German for the Stuttgart trip - enough to be able to understand, order drinks, ask for directions and given we had DCFC1985 with us the key was being able to say "sorry":D . Really good Cd phrase book off ebay. Ive bought their italian one now for San Marino - Just good fun to make an effort.:)

What do you need to know? There are so many different things, like tenses of verbs (Indicative, Past, Imperfect, Subjunctive, Pluscuamperfecto, etc) you best bet would be go to Spain, or buy one of those Learn Spanish CD's and study it for many days

that wouldn't have happened had he arrived down the west ;)

The Imperfect is simple once you get the hand of and it spouts my favourite word 'trabajaba'.
