There is also The Mixxer from Dickinson College. I'd suggest that he look at these.

What can he do to begin learning Spanish on his own, in the three months before he leaves? We don't have a lot of resources to offer the independent learner. I am wondering what you would recommend to a busy, but theoretically motivated professor.
