I am going to do, as you said, get a dictionary...
Was feeling lazy, and wanted it all given to me on a plate, however, its not really hard to look a word up in a dictionary... Maybe thats what the idea is...
Have done a few more hours, have to admit, the rosetta stone discs, expensive as they are, are worth all the money, i have learnt heaps.
I have done french and evening classes and linguaphone and my level of Spanish is more or less up to scratch with my spanish, after just a few days.
I get the feeling, knowing some french has helped me learn a little quicker, some words seem to be very similar...
