Our Review Of The Rocket Spanish Language Course

Learning Spanish can be a real challenge. It's a beautiful, but complicated language. It is also an excellent choice for a second language, since Spanish is spoken by approximately 380 million people on this planet.

That means that about 6% of the world's population speaks Spanish. That is a very large percentage when you consider how many languages exist.

There are a large variety of Spanish teaching courses available, so how can you be sure which ones are effective, and which ones are a waste of your time?  We've taken a look at Rocket Spanish in an effort to share our experience with the course and anybody wanting to learn to speak Spanish.

The program we are reviewing is Rocket Spanish™ which  is produced by Rocket Language Ltd. The instructor in the course is a man named Mauricio Evlampieff, who is a native Spanish speaker.

The course contains modules that take you along your journey of learning a new language. The first module contains 31 audio tracks designed to have you speaking basic words after your first lesson.

The course teaches conversational Spanish which means you will be able to have basic conversations right away.

The package includes the actual transcripts of the audios and we found that particularly helpful in following along. Each audio is about 20 minutes long which means the full module is about 12 hours of content.

The methods used within this first module will allow you to absorb and speak Spanish quickly.

Twelve hours seems like a lot I know, but the way the course is set up into fun games and exercises, the time flies, and you will stay excited about it because you are learning quickly.

One of the software applications included is what they call MegaVocab™. This is a vocabulary recognition tool. I found this very helpful throughout the program.

You basically run through a series of words and you learn the words through repetition, and an association with a picture. It's sort of like the flashcards you used to learn with when you were a kid.

The software has 1000 words and pictures built into it, but it also allows you to add more words and pictures of your choice as you continue to learn.

We found this software to be a lot of fun to use. It's one thing to learn the vocabulary, but to understand it when spoken, is another.

In our opinion this is where other programs fall short, and where Rocket Spanish excels.

We found this software to be a lot of fun to use. It is one thing to learn the vocabulary, but to understand it when spoken is another. In our opinion this is where other programs fall short and where Rocket Spanish exceeds what other course soffer you.

Another cool aspect of the Rocket Spanish™ program is that its not just an introductory course. The course is designed with the assumption the student has no background in the language when starting. But it continues to an advanced level as well.

We felt this increased the value of the program because you wouldn't have to go out and buy a more advanced course as you progress.

Possibly the most impressive part of this course is the members only forum where you can ask questions and communicate with other students and the Rocket Language online instructors. To us this forum made the cost of this course a real bargain. If you happen to get stuck on something, you find lots of help in the forum.

Our closing comment involves the pricing of this course. It's priced at one hundred dollars, which means it is still priced lower than most of the other courses on the market.

The course is downloaded from the Rocket Language website and we loved that aspect of this course. It saved us a lot of money and allowed us to get started right away. We were then able to listen on our computer, burn the material to a CD, and even load audio on an ipod.

They do offer an option for having the course shipped to you on CD's. This option comes at a higher price of course.

To top it all off, the folks at Rocket offer the course with a 60 day, no questions asked, money back guarantee. When you consider the quality of the course work, the software, the forum, the guarantee, and the bargain price, we can only give the Rocket Spanish™ program our highest rating of 5 stars.

If you want to learn Spanish, we think you'll have a real hard time beating the quality of this program.

We hope you found this Rocket Spanish review helpful and believe when you check out Rocket Spanish™ you won't regret your decision.
