For me, it was reading. I began to read books I was unfamiliar with in Spanish, rather than English. I found my language skills progressed more from that than from the language lab.

The best thing you can do is practice around people who can help you improve. Meet educated people from other Spanish speaking countries and widen your knowledge of other colloquialisms. Try watching movies dubbed in Spanish (it's so easy nowadays, since all you have to do is change the language on most DVDs). Take classes. There might be something at your college that is offered for people who just need advanced grammar or something along those lines. Our high school offered a course called Spanish for the Spanish speaker, geared specifically for the student like yourself, who might not have gotten a good grasp of mechanics somewhere down the line.

Listening: This one can only be improved with practice. That means hearing people speak the language. I will rent Disney movies and watch them in Spanish with Spanish Subtitles. Later you can move to other type of movies in Spanish. Grammar: Formal Education. Since you already speak Spanish, look for "Mexican Elementary and Middle School Spanish Books". Also you can download "Ortografia de la lengua Espanola" on the link below. Vocabulary: Like in any language, this can only be achieved by reading. Try literature in Spanish (better if the book was originally written in Spanish). Also try yahoo.com.mx and read the News there. This was my experience with English and it may help you as well with your Spanish.
