Advantages: Pronunciation and verbs very structured

Disadvantages: You have to work at it!

Started learning spanish about four years ago,and have had breaks,and restarted again. Not easy if you have been away from a language for a length of time.
However,I recommend this language because it is reasonably easy to learn in a short space of time.There are very hard and fast groundrules for pronunciation for example,also the verbs,although at first site seemingly difficult because of the learning of past,present and future tenses,also follow simple rules.
The book I started with,and still in my opinion is the best is "Spanigh Made Simple", by Jackson and Hart at around£4,probably gone up in price now, however.Published by Heinemann.
I have also been to nightclasses which I think you have to do to converse with other people and also get the pronunciation correct, and most of all for confidence.I have not started French yet, but I would imagine it is more difficult. Some spanish words or their ideas are very similar to ours, therefore the recollection of them is so much more easier.
Viva Espanol!
