re-learning Spanish

Can't Post |

Spanish is my native tongue but due to non-use I have forgotten quite a bit. What would be the best way to "refresh" my memory? Reading books, taking a class? I still remember the basics and am more interested in refreshing at an "intermediate" or "advanced" level, if that makes sense. I want to feel comfortable enough to answer posts in Spanish, at this point I'm hesitant because my Spanish is so poor. Thanks for any advice.

1. Watch "telenovelas" as much as possible.<p>2. Read some novels/magazines in Spanish. To find your instructional level--read a page outloud and every time you encounter a problem count----#1, #2, up to error #10. Fewer than ten errors is (approximately) your instructional level. Read anything---just read! <p>
