Answer 2

It's possible to teach yourself anything with the proper motivation and reference materials. Check out your local library, they might have Spanish books-on-tape then you could teach yourself Spanish for the cost of a few late fines! Everyone learns at a different rate, it's difficult to say how long it would take one person to become fluent. I think Starbucks puts on language lesson evenings now...

Answer 3

I entered secondary school just after France had chickened out of WW2, and was so disgusted at being taught the language "of those people" that at the age of 11 I decided to teach myself German. If I could do it for German, I am sure I could have done it for Spanish (which I learned at evening school years later). I started by learning declensions, conjugations and irregular verbs, and got them out of the way first, so I would support your idea of learning conjugations first and not be put off by any fear of "rules and things to be explained later." You, I am sure, learned many things as a toddler about your native language long before you could fully understand them!

Answer 4

Si, es posible. Estoy aprendiendo espanole por ensenarme yo mismo. Utiliso un programa TV se llama "Destinos" para aprendar la pronunciacion del idioma.

Buena suerte.
