People have a tendency to approach it with the same fear of getting in the water with sharks. And why shouldn't people have this fear? Learning a language is no small feat, not by a long shot. In fact, when you ask someone to list the five hardest things to do in this world, they will almost always list learning a language. Spanish is widely held to be a difficult language to learn, but then again, all languages are difficult to learn at first.

You have several ways of learning Spanish that are considered the norm. There are the standard text books to read where you constantly memorize different vocabulary and do writing exercises. These text books can be costly, and lets face it, a text book can only go so far. It can't interact with you, can't speak to you, its just a book. You won't get any experience speaking the language. There is the usual flash card route where you spend all of your time memorizing vocabulary and have similar results, albeit much cheaper. You can also get a very in-depth learning experience from a Spanish class. This method is great, but has numerous downsides such as cost, time and the frustration dealing with people you may not click with.
