I took 8 classes in South America, and picked up enough to chat about most things. Grammatically, I wasn't good, but people knew what I was saying, so my recommendation is to go on a holiday to a spanish speaking country, and arrange a couple of weeks classes.

A book is good, a class is better, being there... priceless. đ
Message during games with players in their language. It's fun until you accidentally insult them.
