Long story short, my girlfriend had a terrible Spanish professor and now she's expected to take the next level class while lacking many of the fundamentals that she was supposed to learn in Spanish 102. Can anybody recommend a free podcast that she could listen to to reintroduce Spanish to her and bring her up to speed. Anything that she could listen to while walking or driving?

Check your local library for spanish tapes or cds that help you learn the language. Those have really helped me.

Do you know what you need? Michel Thomas Spanish Course. I've used it, and I learned amazingly fast.

Ooh, btw:
About the Author
Michel Thomas is a world-famous language teacher with an incredible skill to teach in days what usually takes years to learn. A psychology graduate, Michel survived starvation in French concentration and slave-labour camps, endured torture at the hands of Klaus Barbie and, after the war, hunted Nazis as an officer with US Counter Intelligence.


Synopsis
Michel Thomas has taken the language-learning world by storm. With no books, no memorising and no homework, Michel teaches the basic grammar of the language painlessly. Using the method he has perfected over the last 50 years, he now shares his secret with the world - and 'makes it simple' (Sunday Times). In only a matter of hours, he gives you a comprehensive grasp of the structure of the language, enabling you to communicate with confidence. The present, future, conditional and past tenses are covered, and you are taught to think about the ideas that you are trying to communicate, rather than to translate words slavishly. He points out the similarities of the vocabulary in English and Spanish and gives you the tools to guess the words you do not know, or think you do not know. Join two students as they learn in real time. Become the third member of the class and experience the excitement of learning a language as if by magic!
