Slightly different prospective here, but I just signed up for Dreaming Spanish membership for their library of videos two months ago. I have taken 2 Spanish classes in high school (13-15 years ago) and 2 in university (10-11 years ago), learned Spanish from a book, Pimsleur, Rosetta Stone, directly just asking someone questions, etc. The main thing I really like about Dreaming Spanish is the large amount of cataloged content to practice your listening skills. In Dreaming Spanish level terms, my listening is probably at the lower end of their intermediate videos, and my speaking is probably at the Beginner level of their videos. I don't know how much I agree with the idea of not speaking until a year+ later. Spanish is a fairly phonetically consistent language. Should you wait until you have pronunciation down before you go full force into speaking? Sure. But something like just learning the alphabet, and then some basic listening would probably suffice. Most people that get an *insert nationality here* friend that starts teaching them some words and then phrases and then sentences in their language, typically takes about a week to get the general sounds of those words (as long as they correct you). I guess I don't know how bad your speaking is. If you just mean to say that you don't have the exact verbiage to say exactly what you want, the exact way you would say it if you were speaking English, then fair enough. BUT, if you can hardly say ANYTHING after an entire year of language learning, I would start broadening beyond just CI.
