if anything, you could try to get spanish tv over cable or the internet. at least it would get your ear accustomed, which is the slowest part. i mean you can figure out a verbe tense in a matter of minutes, and then practice, but the phonetics are what's harder to acquire.
and when i say spanish tv i don't mean chicano tv, mexican tv, or any of that. i mean TV from spain, like TVE or whatever. you could also rent movies by almodovar, bigas luna, etc etc. train your ear at least, that will give you a good headstart.
what else. oh yes. some language cd/tapes can't hurt. learn how to ask for the whereabouts of the crapper and what not.
