Russian language teaching methods for Spanish?

[mia-l.livejournal.com]

Dear friends! :)

I’ve got a friend of mine and we are in the same year as translator/interpreter/teacher at the University.
We are leaning English as the first language and my friend’s second language is Spanish. As she has her Spanish friend who wants to learn Russian with her help, she suddenly realized that she had some difficulty explaining to him some Russian rules and words and phrases usage. Could you help me, please, and give me advice where she can find some useful information regarding learning Russian as a foreign language? Maybe you know some very good links in the Internet or some good books? And my question is: “Is there a difference between the Russian language teaching methods for Spanish or for instance for German?

Thanks in advance! :)
