online conversational spanish?

[Globetrotter]

My friend and I are thinking of learning beginning conversational spanish. I took some conversational spanish years ago but I took french in school, so my knowledge is minimal.

Can you recommend any good online options? there are so many but not sure how to evaluate them. Our local CC doesn't have it currently.

DD also wants to do advanced conversational this summer - she took it in high school but needs it for her career.

We have duolingo but looking for something more structured for accountability.

I'd check if your library has Mango languages; mine does:

I'm not sure about other options besides Rosetta Stone (which my brother Ger used to gain fluency - all of his in-laws are Spanish-speakers)

I will confess, however, that I haven't looked. I tend to get brain freeze because I think in English syntax and try to do word-for-word translations, freeze up on vocabulary, but I can usually understand OK. (I am in no way fluent, and I have zero confidence in speaking right now, but I can navigate bits & pieces of random conversation among my SIL's relatives & friends.)
