Took Spanish in middle and high school but didn't learn ****. I was a lazy student. Now, in my mid-30s, I'm interested in trying to learn it again. What is the best way to do this? I don't have the time or schedule to allow for in-person classes. It would have to be online. So is there a recommended app or site or online learning platform that anyone has had success with? Any recommendations are appreciated.
I've used duo lingo, it seems like it would work if you did it consistently and tried to actually speak spanish. My wife is mexican, but doesn't know spanish, and we try to throw some in every now and then.

Easy Spanish on YouTube is pretty good as well. They have good lessons and their Patreon provides more worksheets and stuff.
You can start by watching Spanish speaking content with it subtitled to English. You can do that same where it's dubbed to Spanish..with English vsubtitles.. Basically play around with that and all the variations. Get used to words and how they sound. Being in tx you will be surprised how much you already know. If you are going to learn it at all I would consider learning some verbs and basic sentence structure. It's an effort but not hard. Learn 10-15 verbs or so. Learn a few irregular verbs like Learn the verb 'to go' and 'to be' Vocabulary is helpful but don't beat yourself up on memorization. Don't try to learn it all try to be functional if trying to speak..maybe you are just looking to understand. Then hearing it with subtitles is a good way. Spanish is probably one of the easier to learn.
I know how to say some nasty nasty stuff in Spanish My recommendation is to sit at the Mexican lunch table in middle school. Step 1: Hire spanish version of Senguns translator Step 2: Learn no spanish Step 3: Brag to your friends about one of the best experiences of your life
Thanks for the YouTube Easy Spanish tip. Will give those a go. Your Drive link for Pimsleur lessons have empty folders? Also, thanks for the thread, @Haymitch. Same boat as far as taking three years of it in high school, but never using it after. It's going to be necessary for me to learn it for family reasons.
PG-13 method Turn the captions on > then click the settings icon > click subtitles and adjust it to auto translate to English. Focus on the words and what is being said to learn.
i am proud to say i took 4 years of spanish, in highshool and college. i am pretty fluent in saying phrases like: no se. lolque? no es spangeli. [count to 10] uno mas ojo! escuchar estudiantes la biblioteca uno pantalones cafe con leche
My daughter developed an ardent interest in Anime and decided that she wanted to understand and speak Japanese. She was going to an Austin magnet middle school at the time, and being amazingly smart (she's a great example of that "skips a generation" thingy), we spent the money for the complete Rosetta Stone Learning Japanese software. I figured that she'd get bored with the language software after a time and we'd regret buying it (they don't give them away), but she surprised us. Dove into the damn stuff, learned it from soup to nuts, and stuck with it. Corresponded online with some people her age in Japan, and eventually took Japanese as her language requirement at the university she went to, which she breezed through. Finally, getting to the point after not so subtly bragging about my kid, Rosetta Stone worked for her.
