If you're planning on speaking Spanish, learning and practicing vocabulary is absolutely vital, as Chris has already mentioned. One way to learn words is with a Spanish / English dictionary -- it's fun to read about new words and the pocket version can be a handy reference when in a foreign land. I can think of more than one occasion where it came in handy for me. While Chris might be able to provide the names of some texts he likes to use, I can give you one reference for an online Spanish / English dictionary. It's located at www.wordreference.com. Happy translating!
