home study course

Hey,
Im really glad to have found this forum. I found it completely by accident as I was using the Tomisimo Dictionary one night. Any way I am a Deputy in Animal Control. I have been studying spanish like a mad man for just a few weeks.I have been amazed at how much I have learned.I have been using two sources to learn from for now. One being Spanish on the Go, and Spanish for Law Enforcement. Most of my learning has come from the Spanish for Law Enforcement.It has been easy so far to stay motivated because the Spanish Im learning refers to what Im doing every day and I come in contact with and deal with Spanish speaking people on a regular basis. It seems like no matter how well I prepare for my the next encounter with a spanish speaking person it always soon gets derailed and Im talking with my hands again and pointing at sections in our spanish version of the Animal Regulations pamphlet. But its good because I will leave the encounter with a new scenario of what I need to learn. The majority of spanish speaking people I encounter are Mexican. I am concerened with making sure I learn the type of spanish they are more familiar with. I will eventually move on to more thorough spanish speaking learning courses. I dont really have a schedule to allow myself to take a class.I am looking for advice on the best home course for learning. I dont want to waste my money on the wrong thing. I have been thinking about eventually getting the Rosetta Stone course or Rocket Spanish. Thanks in advance for any advice.
