Most efficient way to learn Spanish

Duo lingo never worked for me. I would take a class at the community college for a year to get vocabulary down and learn how to conjugate verbs. Then find libraries that have conversation meet ups.

Duolingo
Watch Spanish cartoons or easy shows with subtitles. Many lessons are free online and on youtube. I wouldn't pay for anything quite yet.
You got to know 1000 words to be able to start speaking and thinking in Spanish.

Duolingo is $120 a year for the paid version, which isn't bad at all of you would actually use it.

Libraries have lots of free language tools (lile mango, which i think is better than duolingo)

Destinos is a telenovela that was designed to be used in teaching high school spanish— you can find the episodes online (and the textbooks from used book sites if you want).

You can take Pimsleur out of the Arlington library using the Libby app. A library card is your friend.
