They say it's a harder when you get older but I also heard the Rosetta stone series is great.

learn spanish as in be able to comprehend it? no.
learn basis conversational phrases enough to get by in a Mexican tourist city (Cabo, Cancun, etc)? Sure.
what RB said.
but what Tark said also. if you knew one of the Latin languages like French or Italian already you might be able to pick it up quicker.

I haven't tried learning a new language since I learned English. Maybe I'll try learning Spanish...or not.
