or
- Game Changer - Byrd knives offer the same functionality and versatility as other Spyderco knives, but at incredibly affordable prices.
- Reliable High Performance - As the Hawkbill hook pulls what is being cut against and in contact with the sharpened edge, the hook winds around material stopping it from sliding off the tip.
- Durable - Full serrations across the blade's length measurably increase its cutting capacity for separating webbing, cardboard and coarse or fibrous material.
- Dependable - Nested inside the handle are full length skeletonized steel liners, increasing rigidity and strength without adding bulk or weight.
- Customize to Your Needs - Screw-together handle construction allows for adjustment and the lanyard hole accommodates secondary retention through attachment of a lanyard or thong.

I recommend that you use Assimil Spanish. I am currently using it and it has helped me a lot with learning Spanish. It will teach you useful vocabulary over 2,000 words, with native audio, and colloquial speech.
You can also using Lingvist to learn more vocabulary that isn't in Assimil Spanish.
You can use Coffee Break Spanish (from iTunes Free) for when you're walking, jogging, etc. with Assimil's audio. I would avoid Michel Thomas and Pimsleur. Pimsleur because it's slow as hell and doesn't teach enough vocabulary. Michel Thomas because he students are stupid as hell, and his voice is annoying.
Language Transfer is much better than Michel Thomas because the student is really smart, the course is longer and goes into much better details about the language. the vocabulary is much better too than Michel Thomas and Pimsleur.
I would avoid Duolingo at all cost.
Here's why I hate the Duolingo Spanish course:
> The lack of decent/useful vocabulary. It doesn't explain the difference between the imperfect/preterite. Barely touches the subjunctive. Only teaches the ir a (I'm going) form of future, but not the future tense. It mainly wants literal translations than colloquial. Teaches way too many synonyms. The indirect/direct objects are barely touched. Overly uses the subject pronouns. If you get words wrong, it will throw new words at you that aren't even taught in the course so you can't really learn the words it does to teach. Doesn't really highlight the difference between the verbs that change in meaning between preterite and imperfect. Doesn't teach vosotros (yes I know it isn't used in Latin America), but there are books, movies, and if you travel to Spain, you will need to learn it. Should learn it even if you don't plan to use it. It's just poorly designed. Hopefully they will make a better one later on.
Buy a great grammar book. I like Gramática de uso del Español. I own this book and it's really great. The only problem is that it's all in Spanish with no English. After you do most of Assimil and Lingvist, you'll be able to read it with no problem and be able to pick up unknown vocabulary easily.
If you don't want to wait, you can buy Practice Makes Perfect Complete Spanish. It's in English.
Use SpanishDict and Pons for your dictionaries online. They're free to use.
You can use Memrise for learning vocabulary. I use it religiously and I benefit from it. I also have my Assimil Spanish vocabulary courses on there for when you use Assimil. Just search for them.
Definitely helps! But my Spanish is quite Catalan influenced, which is not a big deal, but it means it's not so 'pure'. There have been a few things I've picked up from Catalan and said with Spanish words, if you know what I mean.
As I said I also let my Spanish sit at Intermediate, a high B1, for quite a long time because I was getting by easily and wanted to learn Catalan, improve my German and look at Italian too. But last year I came back to Spanish because I decided to prepare myself for the B2 exam.
Getting to a high A2, close to B1, took me a year. I had six months of intense self-study and then three months of daily immersion. But even then there were a lot of set expressions that I didn't know. Now I have all the resources that I would have used had I known about them, but I learned alone - I've never had a Spanish class in my life.
Here, this isn't for everybody, but I've been going through the Cervantes Institute syllabus to fill in gaps in my knowledge. This... is a little intimidating, but if you look at sections 8. Nociones Generales and 9. Nociones Especificas, you have lists of words and phrases set by topics and levels.

I also HIGHLY recommend this series of grammar books

Ah. I understand. I'm currently working through Assimil Spanish myself. Currently about 30% through. Do you suggest I wait till I finish with that and then start reading from B&B ? I can use a 'high school' grammar book in the mean time with exercise. This is the one I found. https://www.amazon.com/Gram%C3%A1tica-uso-del-espa%C3%B1ol-Spanish/dp/8434893517. Its in Spanish and has PICTURES (wooo) and exercises and contains grammar up to B2.
I might use it and Assimil side by side ? and after that use B&B as my main reference ?
