    You could get through Pimsleur Spanish I-III in that time. It focuses on South American Spanish, and you'd have a good level of understanding by the end of it.

    Hi David,

    I'm on lesson 25 of Pimsleur III and find it excellent, and yes, they are expensive courses. However, your local library should have it in stock (some Dublin libraries do at least). If you can't find Pimsleur, the Assimil and Barrons FSI courses are also supposed to be good. But seeing as you're leaving so soon, Pimsleur would be the most effective overall.
