It's hard to say what you don't already know, because you didn't give us any information about how long you've been learning, etc. However, I think that a very important thing to know about Spanish is what to do at the beginning of a conversation. It is basically requisite that you ask the person how they are doing before you start the main topic of conversation.
A: Buenos días. ¿Cómo estás?
B: Bien, ¿y tú?
A: Bien.
And then you go on with whatever you're talking about. Don't leave out this part because it is very important for politeness.
Also, the correct answer whenever someone asks you how you are is "bien". I often hear Americans answer "asi-asi", which is not very native-like. I never heard a native speaker of Spanish say asi-asi until I had spoken Spanish for several years. So stick with "bien" and you'll always be right on. (There are a few other clever punny things you can say instead of "bien", but you'll learn about those later, if that fits your personality.)

I've been learning for two years now and the most useful expressions I've leant are:
Que bien: How nice!
Que Fuerte: Wow!
Very useful when speaking to a spanish person and you have to react somehow and need a bit of time to think about your response. At least when you add these phrases they think you understand everything and you look less silly while translating what's been said!

dayI am one of those irratating people who like to show that I am smarter than you are. I had a friend who was learning Spanish at the same time as I AND I used to send her my "palabra al dia" which is proabaly wrong and means word for today and not today's word. OK OK cut to the chase: seguido (pronounced segito or so it seemed to me) I overhear most of my best Spanish and this word I overheard in the Greyhound bus station in downtown Los Angeles. Usually I was using proxima as "next." But, seguido is a more common use for "the following." the next in line... I saw it in a sign for the next day delivery.
My word then is seguido.

When writing the question "cuantos años tienes?" ("how old are you?") it's EXTREMELY important to use a keyboard with the "ñ" character.
If not, you'll be writing "cuantos anos tienes?", which means "how many anuses have you got?"
Apart from that, try to memorize some f*cking HUGE tables of verbs - each one has round 50 different conjugations in total. And you MUST roll your R's, or people WILL NOT understand you!
Good luck:-)

Only one thing, since people here told you so many (and sometimes so strange): you needn't to put the subject just every time you write something. For example: ayer yo salí a pasear y yo me encontré con mi amigo Manuel. Instead of this, only: ayer salí a pasear y me encontré con mi amigo Manuel. It's easier I think.

Lo que encontrarás útil depende en el trabajo y las experiencias que tendrás. Pero, tal vez este párrafo contiene algo nuevo que ya no sabías. Si es así, me regalas los diez puntos. Si no, me da igual. Buena suerte en tus estudios, y ojalá que sigas aprendiendo el español y visites algún país latino.
