During the past year, Rocket Spanish Languages has updated to today's technology. One of the greatest improvements in the program during the past year has been the use of new technology, allowing you to download the program materials to your i-Pod or MP3 Player. Adults can still purchase a hardcopy version, shipped to their homes. Others will continue to download the program to their computer. The downloadable version includes 4 E-books equaling about 500 pages of lessons, exercises, activities, flash cards and much more.



The Rocket Spanish program is an interactive online program, adult learners use along with learning tools included in the program. In the past, you needed to sit at your computer and read all of the lessons, unless you made copies of all the pages, which could be expensive. Now you are able to take the program with you wherever you take your i-Pod.

The pages of vocabulary words once copied and cut into Flash cards are very important. The words on the flash cards are both Spanish and English. It is a good idea to put flash cards into common groups. For example, put the days of the week together and memorize them. Put the months of year, the numbers from one to one hundred together, and so forth. It is easier to memorize the Spanish vocabulary in common groups, rather than a long list of unrelated words. You may even want to put flash cards with the Spanish words for foods in alphabetical order before beginning to memorize them.

There are many how to learn to speak Spanish programs online and some of them are helpful. However, only Rocket Spanish really prepares you to face the world as a Spanish speaker. Just like other programs you will be capable of speaking with others within about eight weeks, however, you will only be able to speak the words, phrases, sentences and conversations taught in the first few lessons of the program.

You will not, at the end of eight weeks be prepared to walk up to a native Spanish speaker and hold a lively conversation. You will be able to speak enough Spanish to let the person know you are only beginning to speak Spanish. You will be prepared to carry on some short conversations, order a meal, ask directions or otherwise get help, if you need it, but there is more to learn.

Some people learn quickly and work through all of the beginners lessons in as little as three months. They become very comfortable speaking Spanish and move on to the intermediate level. Keep in mind there are about 500 pages of material and 12 hours of CD software. In addition, there are exercises, vocabulary drills, quizzes and the MegaVocab and MegaAudio games all working together to help you speak Spanish, comfortably. Many people take 6-9 months to reach the intermediate level because of time constraints. Remember the goal of Rocket Spanish Languages is to teach you to speak Spanish. It is not a race against time.
