I started learning Spanish when I was in high school, but it didn't really capture my attention back then.
I know the BBC has  free online Facebook page to practice with other learners. Have you seen that?
No I haven't! But that sounds very useful! I sometimes read BBC news in Spanish to practice.
Have you traveled to a spanish speaking country?
I haven't but I live in California where there is a large population of Spanish speakers. 
I had a cousin learn spanish by staying with a family in Guatemala. Have you considered something like that?
Yes, I think that's honestly the best way to learn a new language. I want to save up money and maybe study in Mexico. 
I hear that there are several language schools in Guanajuato. It's one of Mexico's most colorful and pretty cities
Sounds great! I'd also just love to go to Mexico for the food and the culture.
Rosarito Beach is close to the California border and a good place to practice with the locals at restaurants and stores.
Honestly, I don't have to far to practice Spanish in California since a lot of my neighbors are from Spanish speaking countries. One of my neighbors is from El Salvador, another one is Cuban, and I live next to a Mexican supermarket.
