Learning spanish?

Okay, so here's the problem: I am lazy. But I want to learn Spanish. I had started to attend a course back in July last year until end of last year. But due to my work I had missed several lessons so I quit and did not continue 'cause I was unable to make up for the missed lessons.
I know that I need to learn, that I need to be less lazy in that. I am willing to. Though at the moment I think it makes no sense for me to attend a school again as I can foresee that I won't be able to regularly attend it due to several holidays I will take. I also work shifts which makes it very difficult to visit a course regularly. But still, I desperately want to learn this beautiful language. I haven't figured out a plan yet how to do it, any suggestions from your side? Self study needs a lot of discipline which I also don't have, so the school thing was a good slight pressure for me... ;-) Luckily I have a few friends with Spanish as their mother tongue and I can pick up the pronunciation from them from time to time. But maybe some of you have had similar experiences in picking up a language and can share their opinion. I know I need guidance in learning due to my lacking self discipline. Maybe I should look into some online communities...

Un abrazo, everybody. ;-)

Well, bigbro, I think you've said it all. As you know your weak points, you know where to start. I believe you only need proper discipline, that's all.

As for me, you know we have an arrangement. Practice with me anytime, written or spoken :)

Maybe you can try with a few text books for beginners and a grammar book to get the basics of the language, or find this information on the internet. Or maybe, if workshifts are a problem, you can try with a private teacher, he or she might be flexible about that. Then you can start reading some texts or speaking with us. You know you can ask any doubts you have, anytime ^^
