I think you should definitely try to get to an immersion school once you are in Mexico. I just returned from 3 weeks in Central America, including 6 days in an immersion school. As short as my schooling was, it was tremendously helpful. Before I left all I could say was "Donde esta el bano?" (sorry for missing the accent) but now I can hold simple conversations with people, as well as asking for directions. I could hardly believe it myself.
Now that I'm back, I plan to attend weekly gatherings of people who would like to practice Spanish. There is a group meeting at our local Barnes & Noble. I'm sure they can be found in most medium to large cities.
I know some immersion schools in Central America can also connect you with one of their teachers via Skype. You have a one-on-one teacher that way without even leaving your home. They charge something like $10 to 15/hour, I think. Pretty good rate considering you're getting a native speaker who is a professional language instructor.
Or maybe we should all post to this forum in espanol... Buena suerte!
