Learning a third language
Necesito ayuda

For the last five years or so I have found myself willing to learn a third language. Too bad that I lacked that ambition in high school when I more or less slept through the Spanish lessons, but I guess that you are never too old to start anew.
Since I studied Spanish in high school and since I made a trip in latin america for two months last year, I have decided that I want to improve my Spanish. When travelling I could get by on my Spanish, even though it is admittably horrible. But the Argentinians and Peruvians were very patient with me and with lots of good will I could make myself understood and on good days, even carry a short conversation.
So, now I am taking Spanish lessons once every week. It is actually fun! I had forgotten how much I like studying languages when I was younger. At that point in time I would rather be killed than admitting to it but now I am old enough not to care to be cool anymore. Not that I ever qualified as cool anyway, but that did not stop me from trying.
Yesterday something occurred to me. There must be some good Spanish training software available. Does anyone have any recommendations? I have googled a bit, but the software is usually quite expensive and I want to have some recommendations before making a purchase. Have you tried any software for learning languages? What were your impressions?
