What is a good way to practice spanish? Like, I know the basic words and things like that, but how can I learn how to speak it? For example, someone had suggested watching spanish soap operas.

I would say I'm pretty good at it- so I'll just tell you what I do:
-Make flashcards with words or phrases you know or want to learn. Just continually reading them. Go through them once, and as you go- separate what you know already and what you DON'T know into piles. Then go back through the Don't Know pile, until you can do it once through without stopping or looking. Then go through all of them over once more. This actually helps, sure its tedious, but its worth it.
-Watch Spanish movies, videos, TV shows, etc. I actually do this- sure.. they speak SUPER fast- but sometimes you start to pick up words and stuff. Search on YouTube for spanish videos or something- you'll find something.
-A big part of learning a language, especially Spanish is to learn verbs and their conjugations. If you know verbs, you can start to form simple sentences. Maybe conjugate verbs on a piece of paper, then in your head, and do the same with your flashcards- until you know all of them.
-If you have a foreign exchange student from Spain or a Spanish-speaking country, try to hang out with them. Talking face-to-face with someone who speaks it will help you correct errors, and see what a Spanish-speaker does.
