The Rocket language courses have sold thousands of products and are one of the largest leaders in language learning software downloads on the internet. Rocket Spanish is one of several language programs offered at Rocket Languages and continues to be a best seller among other language learning programs. If there are many people buying a program does it mean it works? Can Rocket Spanish live up to the claims of teaching you Spanish like at rocket speeds?
Personally, I have tried other popular language learning software programs such as Fluenz and Rosetta Stone. Therefore, I can honestly say I have a basis for comparison when evaluating the Rocket Spanish program against other programs that claim to teach you Spanish quickly.
Here is what I have discovered. The Rocket Spanish program is an extremely comprehensive program in general. It is full of information you will need in order to speak Spanish primarily in Mexico and Latin America. If you’re searching for a course that teaches more formal Spanish than you would be better off sticking with another course. It is apparent that the focus of Rocket Spanish is to teach you to be conversant with friends and family, but they do make a distinction that you will need to change the verbiage when speaking with strangers.
The interactive audio lessons were designed to have you speaking Spanish fast. You right away be saying and responding to Spanish phrases. The audio lessons offer many chances for repetition and practice. The best part of the audio lessons are the fact they come on mp3 formats so you can put them on your ipod or mp3 player and play them anywhere. As I have found out, you can’t do this with all programs. There is also written content to supplement the interactive lessons that help you learn how the language is written and helpful hints along the way that help you understand what really matters when speaking Spanish in the real world. I suppose the best part of Rocket Spanish is how practical the content is. The primarily focus is on teaching you how to speak with people in Spanish confidently.
Lastly, there is a software component to the course that teaches verbs and helps you build your vocabulary quickly and easily by listening and viewing pictures. Every learner will benefit from all the different types of learning components there are in this course. The only problem in my opinion is how Rocket Spanish is organized and laid out. For instance, the audio is broken down into small chunks and you either need to find the written portion that goes with the audio or just listen to the audio by itself. Perhaps, some people might like this because it makes the program extremely flexible. You have the choice on how you wish to learn the material and how fast you want to learn it. Personally, I like something that seems to flow a little more. Rocket Spanish does however, have many options and opportunities to learn Spanish with different types of formats and at your own pace. I’m sure most people would find that this is a huge feature of this program.
If cost is a factor for you, I would suggest you check out Rocket Spanish and give it a serious look. The downloadable version is identical to the cd’s and will save you a ton of money on shipping and packaging. The overall cost is less than other brands and in my opinion gives this course an edge on the competition. Not to mention you can start the program immediately versus waiting around for it to arrive in the mail. The content you get in Rocket Language Spanish is excellent and will not disappoint. The price of Rocket Spanish makes it a great value for the money.
