I received this in a homeschool mom newsletter and my son and I have a lot of fun with it.
We did the basic needs and numbers, but there are more free lessons and even a free CD you can order. They have a full curriculum if you are pleased with the type of instruction.
You can pair this with inexpensive workbooks and different computer software programs you can get at computer stores and such, but of all the things I tried, my son liked this along with an inexpensive workbook I picked up at Wal Mart the best.
If you want more than that, like for yourself, you can look at Instant Immersion, it is reasonably priced.
At his age, this should keep him entertained and help him learn some key phrases. My son's favorites are "I need to go to the bathroom." and "I want to go to the movies."

Why would you want to do that? So he can give orders to the office's illegal workers without a translator?
Don't bother. Have him learn a useful language, like German or Russian.
The best way to learn another language would be on the computer. I'm not sure if JumpStart has one, but check them out. Also, you might want to try Wal-Mart or Best Buy or even Circuit City and check their computer software that it both kid and adult friendly. Kids learn better when there are a lot of colors of cartoon characters.

It's probably best to learn it your self really well then start speaking it around the house like you could label things in Spanish like the stairs or the door.
Learning together would be great. I liked the Muzzy program for both french and spanish. Teach it while he's young. He'll thank you later. (He'll probably end up speaking it better than you)
Power Glide Junior is great.
Also, look into "All in One Language Fun" a computer game that introduces Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and for ESL students, English. (You pick which language to play around with each time, so if all you want is Spanish you just always pick that). It is put out by Syracuse Language Systems.
All-in-One Language Fun!

Any CD or audio tape programs are good. Especially if it has a work book.
At a private school they learned French in 4th grade and Spanish in 5th grade.
In Public school neither happens until 9th GRADE!
Then spend an hour or two a day only talking to each other in Spanish.
Do it for lunch.
No food unless they ask for it in Spanish.
If they don't like the food they get, let them LEARN how to ask for better food!
Unfortuanately I don't think you'll find CHEESE BURGER AND FRIES in most Spanish lesson books!
So you'll have to be creative. Some form of ASADA!
So you both go outside and talk with the Mexican Gardener working across the street, maybe with a glass of lemonade and ask him how to ask for a Cheese Burger with Fries. He'll tell you!
And you'll get social skills that way too!
