My Spanish language learning progression.

Well, I started learning from the BBC books that I'd bought but it didn't take long to realise that I needed more.
Years ago, I studied a couple of IT modules with the Open University which were pretty good. However, I didn't go any further with the studies due to the expense. Even with that in mind, I decided to have a look, to my surprise it was possible to get a tuition loan to study like any other university. The only thing that you can't get is the maintenance loans allowing you to give up work to study.
That was it, I enrolled there and then and applied for the loan which was approved. This allowed me to go to study groups and practice with other people and benefit from a native Spanish tutor. My study route was English Language with a Modern Language and my first modules were Portales Beginners Spanish and Understanding Intercultural Communications. Both excellent starting points.

Next time, my studies continued.
