Rocket Spanish is a Spanish language course devised by Mauricio Evlampieff and Rocket Spanish is designed to teach you the Spanish language quickly. With the course having the title ‘Rocket Spanish’ you may wonder if it can effectively help you learn Spanish fast. When I first studied the Spanish language, books and audio tapes were the mediums I made use of to learn. My old audio tapes and books proved to be useful but did not include interactive learning games. The learning games in Rocket Spanish have a big impact on the rate at which you can learn the Spanish language.

For interactive content, Rocket Spanish easily beats my old audio tapes and books hands down. The interactive games in Rocket Spanish reminded me of the typing tutor I used to learn to touch type. Rocket Spanish wont help your touch typing skills, I found the games similar as they both help you learn a useful skill quickly. The difficulty setting for the interactive games in Rocket Spanish can be adjusted from being reasonably easy to seriously challenging at higher levels. I was impressed by the additional Spanish I was able to learn by practicing with the Rocket Spanish games.

Rocket Spanish includes four electronic books containing Spanish vocabulary lessons, a list of commonly used Spanish phrases and Spanish grammar exercises. If you prefer, the content of Rocket Spanish is available in CD format and the package also includes the documentation of the course in a printed book. I found it more convenient to get the downloadable version of Rocket Spanish and to put the audio content of the course onto my mp3 player so that I could practice Spanish on my travels. The bigger bonus may be the fact that the downloadable version of Rocket Spanish costs less. On top of that you get the complete course straight away.

If you have some experience with studying Spanish, you may find it easier to get comfortable with the course content. One of the best ways to learn Spanish quickly is to visit Spain for a long period and to regularly interact with Spanish people. Travelling with a bi-lingual companion who could help with translation when needed would be ideal. If you can’t arrange such a visit right now and are thinking of planning ahead for a future visit, Rocket Spanish will help you prepare for communicating in Spanish.

Learning the Spanish accent is also part of the course content of Rocket Spanish and this again helps with your communication. The course has a way of improving your confidence with speaking Spanish and persevering with it brings fluency to your communication. Many other courses lack the varying content of Rocket Spanish and there is enough of it to keep you interested in learning Spanish. The creators of Rocket Spanish state you can become proficient in Spanish within three months of studying the course. I believe there are individuals who will learn from the course in less time while others will take longer. From my experience with the Rocket Spanish, I believe people with commitment will be able to use the course to learn Spanish fast.

Rocket Spanish has a complete guide to Spanish conversation that has over 1000 words for you to learn from. You can refer to these words then read them aloud, repeating this process will fine tune your Spanish language skills. The course makes the job of learning another language as easy as possible while at the same time it is comprehensive enough to teach you more than just basic Spanish. People have different reasons for wanting to learn Spanish fast, perhaps you are relocating to Spain for work or to settle down in a new home. Visiting Spain itself is a great way of improving your level of Spanish and the course can serve to prepare you for a possible trip to Spain and help out while you are there.

Ordering the cup of coffee at a coffee shop to be prepared the way you want it is second nature when you are in your native country. The same goes for when you ask for basics like the specific portion of fruit you want at the market or the item of clothing you want at a clothes shop. Visiting another country and asking for the same basic things is a lot harder when you are not familiar with the language. Rocket Spanish contains elements you can study to learn conversational Spanish to a point where you can understand Spanish conversation and respond in Spanish fluently.

We tend to take for granted that we can easily ask for the things that we want or need while in our native countries. How do you order the meal that you want when visiting a restaurant in another country when you don’t understand the language? Learning another language opens up a great deal of new opportunities but also helps with basics such as shopping and ordering the things that you want. Another element of the Rocket Spanish course that helps achieve this goal is the audio content included with the course.

In total, Rocket Spanish has more than twelve hours of audio that you can use to learn Spanish. A lot of the audio is recorded in a way that lets you interact with it as though you were speaking with a Spanish expert in the same room as you. You hear the elements of the Spanish conversation you choose to focus on and after you have heard it, there is a pause. At this point you can practice giving an appropriate verbal response to what you have heard, shortly after you hear the correct response in the proper form.

Another element of Rocket Spanish that helps you learn conversational Spanish is the ‘MegaVocab’ interactive learning game. This part of the Spanish course is very different to learning Spanish by reading a book, is fun to play and actually works. MegaVocab works by providing a selection of photographs that are based on varying subjects. You may see a picture of a person sunbathing or cycling and when the game starts, you hear Spanish audio. To score, you need to click on the picture that corresponds to the Spanish that you hear.

I found this element of the course to be a fun alternative method of learning Spanish and playing the games regularly is a great way of learning Spanish effectively.

If you have been looking for a learn to speak Spanish CD set, the Rocket Spanish language course is also available in this format and is delivered to your door. In case you were unaware, Rocket Spanish is available in two formats, one of which can be downloaded straight to your computer. The hard copy is delivered though it does not contain a single learn to speak Spanish CD for you to learn from as the pack includes multiple CD’s. If you want to know what Rocket Spanish is all about, you can read the complete Rocket Spanish review by clicking here. If you have been looking for a learn to speak Spanish CD, lets take an in depth look at the hard copy of Rocket Spanish.

As I mentioned in my Rocket Spanish review, I decided to get the hard copy of the course as I wanted the course straight away. Still people have different reasons for wanting a ‘Learn to Speak Spanish CD’ and when I last checked, Rocket Spanish came bundled with 25! That certainly is a vast amount of CD’s for the purpose of learning the Spanish language but anyone who has the course knows it holds a lot of material. Still, Rocket Languages were wise to make Rocket Spanish available on CD for many reasons. Choosing between the downloadable version of Rocket Spanish and the Spanish Audio CD bundle was a quick choice for me to make. As I now have an adequate broadband connection, I got hold of the complete course in virtually no time but I fully remember using my dial up internet service.

It took an unreasonable amount of time for me to download an update for a piece of software on my computer. Because of this, I wouldn’t dream of downloading a full software package unless the program was very small. Perhaps I’m going off on a tangent a little but I can imagine the hard copy of Rocket Spanish will be a great alternative for anyone still using a dial up modem. Owners of the Spanish audio CD version of the Rocket Spanish course do get some advantages over Spanish students who decide to download the course.

Firstly, the Rocket Spanish CD’s audio content is of higher quality than the downloadable version of the course. Personally, I found the downloadable versions audio to be crystal clear so Rocket Languages must have had to do significant work to improve on this for the CD version of the course. You can take the Spanish audio CD’s from the hard copy of Rocket Spanish and put them straight into your in car CD player. This means you can learn Spanish from the CD’s while you are on your travels. I’m a big supporter of this kind of learning as it gives you a chance to practice your language skills regularly while doing something else that’s practical. It’s great if you are someone who travels regularly and you also want to learn or improve your Spanish skills.

Mauricio Evlampieff is the author Of Rocket Spanish and the course is now very popular amongst students learning Spanish. The Rocket Spanish team created the course in 2005 and it is avaiable as a 25 CD bundle that includes more than 12 hours of audio. The CD’s also contain electronic books containing information on Spanish vocabulary and grammar.The CD bundle also includes fun interactive learning games. Downloading the course is cheaper but the audio on the CD version is of higher quality.

You don’t have to learn Spanish while stuck in front of your computer if you don’t want to as you can learn Spanish from the CD’s by playing them on any CD player. You will still need your computer to get the full experience from Rocket Spanish. Even though there are over 12 hours of audio on the CD’s to learn Spanish from, you need your PC for the additional content. The hard copy of Rocket Spanish also includes the MegaVocab and MegaAudio games and also electronic books to read. You can also find these in the downloadable version and they help improve your recognition of specific words.

As I mentioned in my review of Rocket Spanish, I’m completely happy with the downloadable version of the course and if you have the means, I recommend it. It’s significantly cheaper than the hardcopy and you get the complete package straight away (depending on your connection speed). If you don’t have the means of downloading the course, the hard copy is delivered within fifteen days. You get more than a mere ‘learn to speak Spanish CD’ with Rocket Spanish no matter what version you get.

I was surprised to find the course included free Spanish language mp3 files to learn Spanish from as well as written material. Amy Waterman and Mauricio Evlampieff hold conversations in Spanish with each other that include brief pauses to enable you to practice what your hear. Practicing repeatedly with the free Spanish language mp3’s is a great method of learning the nuances of basic Spanish. By the end of the course you will have learned some basic Spanish and this can give you ideas on how to tie in the phrases you have learned with the rest of the language.

The Free Rocket Spanish 6 Day Mini Course

Rocket Languages give you the opportunity to learn Spanish by listening and interacting with Spanish conversations. The Free Rocket Spanish 6 day minicourse has downloadable audio content that includes conversations between Mauricio Evlampieff and Amy Waterman.

The course is quite extensive and covers a great deal on the basic Spanish language, the recordings themselves are clear and the audio is of high quality. Rocket Languages could have just included a list of Spanish words here but they have done a lot more. I appreciate being able to learn new skills through interaction and this is what the Rocket Spanish free 6 day beginners course enables you to do.

Any beginner wanting to learn Spanish can take this course and learn how to say hello, ask for help and also learn how to ask for the perfect cup of coffee they want. The free Spanish course also helps you understand how to pick out the important points of rapid Spanish conversation. If you have experienced two people fluent in Spanish holding a conversation, you will notice they speak quickly. This factor is more apparent when the people you are listening to are natives of Spain but some understanding of spoken conversation is better than no understanding at all. Learning the basics is what allows you to expand on your knowledge.

I like the way the course is laid out as it allows you to methodically learn the meaning of specific Spanish words and sentences. You learn the meaning of a specific Spanish word then you learn how to pronounce it repeatedly with the right accent. You then move on to another Spanish word and go through the same process of learning that you used for the previous word. You can’t really go wrong with this one if you are a complete beginner wanting to learn the basics of the Spanish Language. If you want to get hold of the free mini course now, click here
