How and where to learn Spanish online
Of course I did the obligatory Google search - with mixed results.
So I am still looking for good (and free) online resources for learning Spanish.
Any Podcasts, Videopodcasts, Vocabulary lists, online tutorials that you have tried yourselves and can recommend?
Muchas gracias!

I'm having a go at the BBC beginner's German - you might want to look at their Spanish here: bbc Spanish. The German beginner's course is quite good I think.

I haven't tried them myself, but there are a bunch of links to online courses here.
And you can find a Spanish-speaking penpal here.
In addition to Google, you can search the "spanish" and "language" tags on del.icio.us.

I have not actually tried the following sources, but have run across them in researching other language resources. These appear to be quite comprehensive for free resources--now if only every language had such good coverage!
Destinos--spanish telenovela style
podcasts--the one I was going to recommend appears to no longer be in date, but there are quite a few out there...
Netlibrary is now free, and you check out (expensive) audio learning courses online.

I found this website a brilliant help when I was learning Spanish. You can pay to get complete access to the site, but if you click on the 'free' link there's some really useful sections, such as a very comprehensive grammar section, mini-tests, pronunciation guide etc.

There are sometimes rips of various 'teach yourself language x' CDs on bittorrent tracker sites.
