Rocket Spanish review
By Gerrit du Plessis
If you really need to learn Spanish now, Rocket Spanish is definitely your best
choice. You'll start with recorded dialogues which you'll be asked to repeat - no surprise here.
But the great thing about Rocket Spanish's conversations is that they're customizable - each time
you're taught a phrase, you'll learn to say other phrases that spin off from the main one. By the
time you've finished the first lesson on greeting a stranger, you'll actually be able to engage in
a variety of different greeting situations. All the dialogues in the Rocket Spanish program reflect
situations you'd be likely to encounter in real life, and the material is easy to learn and
understand.
If your whole Rocket Spanish experience were composed of repeating dialogues, though,
you probably wouldn't learn much Spanish. Fortunately, with Rocket Spanish you also get a very
addictive set of video games - MegaAudio, MegaVerb, and MegaVocab. Native speakers in any language
talk much faster than your average speaker on a foreign language recording, and sometimes this
presents a barrier to understanding.
Well, enter MegaAudio, which trains your ear to the sound of everyday Spanish speech. MegaVerb
focuses on grammar, verb conjucations in particular, and helps you get a solid grip on them. And
MegaVocab expands your vocabulary in ways you wouldn't believe. Best of all, these games are really
games, not exercises - they're fun!
Another wonderful feature of Rocket Spanish is its exclusive learner's forum. When you purchase
the program, you'll be granted access to a forum staffed by native Spanish speakers and teachers.
You'll feel like you're surrounded by other learners like yourself, as well as teachers who can
really help you in your quest to learn Spanish fast.
Finally, Rocket Spanish comes formatted for both Mac and PC, and can be either purchased on CD,
or used online with their online downloadable version. The download version isn't just a
convenience - at $99.95, it's much cheaper than purchasing the 20-CD set at $299.95! Plus, once
you've purchased the online version, you can buy an inexpensive CD backup if you choose.
