I know a decent amount. Took classes in high school. Picked up pimsleur discs, have some bilingual poetry - more in the European vein like Jorge Luis Borges... Seems they're pushing more ways different than that, besides immersion, but suppose I have a basis in fundamentals. Would be cool to be fluent, or read don quixote, or party with the cartel. Suggestions? May start with method of 1000 most popular Spanish words

100% the pimsleur audio course is the best way, even better than immersion (I've done both). It's based on a method that they used to use to teach diplomats as fast as possible.

Pimsleur is garbage for learning a language. Make a friend who is a native speaker of the language you want to learn, and ban yourself from using English with them. Get them to describe stuff in their language, and over time you'll learn more and more. It's how I learned my husband's native language.
