Learning to speak Spanish can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. You gain the satisfaction of mastering a Language other than your own. You can then converse with Spanish speaking friends or acquaintances. You can shop confidently in Spanish speaking countries and gain much more enjoyment from traveling in a country where Spanish is the normal Language. If you become really fluent in the Language then it could be of considerable advantage to you when dealing with business colleagues who come from a Spanish speaking background.
On the other hand you might find trying to learn to speak Spanish is an overwhelming chore. You become bogged down in the grammar, the pronunciation and the apparent complexity of the Language; the boring lessons.
The amount of satisfaction you experience in learning a language other than your own depends in a large measure on the language course you use and its structure. Some courses are formal in structure with emphasis on learning endless verbs and grammar. Some may teach formal Spanish, which could be useful in an academic arena, but not of great practical use in day to day situations. In fact you may find yourself being laughed at if you use formal Spanish in an every-day situation.
You would also want to achieve your goal of learning to speak Spanish without spending endless months studying. The time spent on the course should give you a feeling of having achieved your aim and if possible, experienced some light relief in the process. Of course you may find that once you have gained some fluency in the language that you would like to study the language more seriously, so it would be helpful if the course also had the capacity to take you through to a higher level.
You need a course in keeping with your requirements. More than likely you would just like to hold a conversation with your friends or others you have met casually. You probably don't wish to speak at length on some profound subject, but rather be able to converse at a level which would be sufficient for every-day conversation. If you are traveling abroad maybe you only need a basic understanding of the language, sufficient to enable you to ask "where is the bathroom?" or "When does the train leave for Barcelona?"
The course you choose should also provide audio instruction so you are able to correct your pronunciation. This is vital to the success of learning Spanish and of course makes the understanding of the language that much easier.
