My company has fantastic support for remote working so I'm going to spend two months coding from Buenos Aires, Argentina starting in February. Given the five or so months I've got, what's the best way for met get as fluent as possible in Spanish?

Things I'm considering:

* babel.com * the memory palace approach * taking a language school class * video conference-based tutoring lessons * the approach advocated by Timothy Ferris

Note: I'm an English speaking American. I studied Japanese for 10 years, lived there for one, and speak/read Japanese at a decent level.
