[quote=Anonymous]I recently did this and here are the things that worked for me. Once I reached low intermediate level I really immersed myself in comprehensible input.  You need to expose yourself to hundreds of hours of the language to get a feel for it. It is one of the best things I did for myself in terms of personal development and pure joy I've gotten from speaking and learning another language as an adult.
--Pimsleur course (5 levels)
--Anki deck for vocabulary (digital uses spaced repetition system) I completed the 5000 word deck and then created another deck of more advanced words I found while reading and watching tv.
--Practice makes perfect workbooks (clear logical explanation of grammar and verb tenses)
--Comprehensible input--first started out with input for learners.  Dreaming Spanish on Youtube was so helpful.  Also lots of podcasts for learners like Coffee break spanish. 
--Italki tutor (variety of price points): this was invaluable to help me to speak on a regular basis.  Generally did 2 one hour sessions weekly. 
--Language reactor free extension on Chrome allows you to have dual subtitles on Netflix and Youtube 
--Reading.  I started with readers and now I'm comfortable reading novels!  Also like the BBC Mundo y NY times español site for articles.[/quote]
