Hey everyone!

We all share one thing in common: we love learning Spanish through this awesome series of poscasts.  My question, however, is what other resources do you use, or methods do you employ to further your studies in Spanish?

I've found a few different ways.  I'm working my way though an intermediate level spanish textbook.  I listen to songs and translate them.  However my biggest sources of learning are from the following two: I read daily news online in Spanish as much as I can, and I watch telenovelas, pausing and learning new words and phrases.

The latter two methods have helped me out a lot as they are manner of participating in the mainstream media with the bonus of learning, as opposed to straight-up grammar lessons and vocabulary drills.  I then alternate these with new Spanishpod lessons that have arrived into my iPod.

What do you use to study, what do you find effective, what do you find makes learning Spanish "easy", and why?  I've love to hear all your comments!
