We all have different learning styles and preferences when learning something new.  It is no different when you want to study Spanish.  Some of us prefer one to one Spanish lessons and some prefer group Spanish classes.  While some like to get into the details of grammar, others prefer just to listen, learn and chat.  Is it best to have intensive Spanish lessons, occasional lessons, play games or just meet up with friends once a week?  Only you know what you need and which will work best for you and perhaps it is a combination of them all!
