Advice on overcoming the mental block?

[The Wabash Cannonball]

So I've recently started an online Spanish class for my school and I've very quickly run into what I've dubbed the "mental block." I'm having a real hard time remembering certain Spanish phrases. I look them over multiple times and immediately forget! It's making conversations, especially as they get more advanced, very difficult.

Any advice on overcoming the mental block?

@The Wabash Cannonball Maybe you could share and practice the phrases? Know any Spanish forums out there? Or perhaps listening to Audiobooks would help? You can buy a lot, very cheaply off audible, if you get the yearly subscription.

There ARE a lot of Spanish radio stations permeating the airwaves around me...I suppose listening to podcasts in Spanish wouldn't hurt either.
