  Try to find someone in class that you can work with. Force yourself to talk in spanish. Try to translate what you want to say or are saying in english to spanish. Listen to spanish radio stations. I know it is hard when you are not in a situation that you have to use it. I have taken so many spanish classes and I still don't feel comfortable. I would love to take one of those immersion classes. Where you go to a spanish country and spend a week or two immersed in the language and the culture. Good luck Diamond

      I agree that spanish language radio, also the news on tv is good--better, at least for me, than dumb shows, and because there is a graphic behind the newsreader you have a context, and it is one talking head facing the camera.
      The other thing, if you can find them where you live or online, is children's books written in spanish. and ALWAYS read out loud!
      good luck!-buena suerte
