Easy Spanish Phrase Book: Over 770 Basic Phrases for Everyday Use (Dover Easy Phrase) - $2.00
This book is almost a steal for the low price of $2. For those of you just starting to learn, this book is great for the basics. It would have been better though, if there was an audio CD to accompany the book, but what can you expect for two dollars, right? If you are somewhat familiar with Spanish pronounciation, then this book is a great help. For those not familiar with the sounds of Spanish, this book does provide the phonetic transcriptions to offer a little help, but hearing the words is always better.

Conversational Spanish: A practical immersion course for intermediate Spanish conversation. (Audio CD + Listening guide & Grammar book) - $49.95
For those of you that do wish to hear the audio as you learn (which I feel is very important), this is a nice package. It offers very good conversational lessons, that are as entertaining as they are fun to learn. It also helps with the authentic sounds of Spanish, because you listen to speakers from different areas of Latin America in conversation using different phrases that aren't as common to other Spanish speakers. The course is complete with not only the audio but also the transcripts (in both the Spanish and English), plus grammar notes and vocabulary.

Fluenz Spanish 1+2 Windows, Next-Generation Spanish Language Learning Software - $298.00
If what you are looking for is really indepth learning, then software might be the way to go. Though it seems very expensive at $300, I've added it, because it's a very good product. Most software available on the market are never quite good enough, but it seems that this company has finally gotten the formula right. It's based towards adults though, so if you are looking for something to help the little ones, this might not be your best option. What it does have is hours (and I mean hours) of lessons. More than 120 hours worth of sessions are built into the software. Plus, it's easy to use and never boring. By the way, it's also possible to buy the two products separately, but I've linked them to the combined product, because it's much cheaper in the long run, should you be buying both - which I would imagine most people would want to after using the first one.
