I'm curious about how you did it, or how you are going about doing it.

Spanish was actually my first language.  After so many years I am still somewhat fluent, though I can understand it better than I can speak it.  Whenever I go back home or talk to relatives on the phone, it's usually "spanglish" (a mix of English and Spanish).

What is kind of cool was when I was overseas in Italy I could pick out a few words that they would say in Italian and understand them since it was very close to the Spanish pronunciation.  Not enough to carry on a conversation, but enough to get the gist of what was being said.
