I discoverd the following site and it's really quite good with audio examples of key sentences. It's billed as "business Spanish" but it's really a basic course on Spanish conversation. And it's free! Here is the link:

¡Gran sitio AnthonyLouis! I agree with you on it being a basic course on Spanish conversation, but with extra bonuses (which I love) in the vocabulary section. When it comes to knowing words having to do with the government, chemistry, and things of that nature, I basically know NADA.
¡Muchísimas Gracias!
