How to Learn Spanish the Easy Way

If you are interested in learning Spanish, then Rocket Spanish is one of the best courses available.

When I learned Spanish, I learned it the hard way. I went through hundreds of vocabulary flash cards, memorizing rules of grammar, and not knowing why a certain way of saying things was correct. It took me three months, 3 to 4 hours a day to even grasp a basic knowledge of Spanish. I wish that Rocket Spanish had been available for me. It would have been a lot easier.

With Rocket Spanish you can learn to speak Spanish in less than 8 weeks. It is an interactive course that makes it not only fun to learn, but practical. Rocket Spanish offers an interactive audio course, grammar lessons (so you can know why saying something a certain way is correct). There is a vocabulary word building game as well as a software game that will help you learn to recognize over 1,000 words.

The downside to this course is that even though Rocket Spanish makes it fun and easy to learn, you still need to invest the time and effort to use the course. Nobody is going to sit there and force you to learn Spanish. I least I hope not!

Of course anyone would want to know how much the course costs. Normally it is $299.95, but I understand that they are currently offering it for $99.95. It is available in CD form or as an immediate download. I give it 4 1/2 stars.

Another course I highly recommend is "At Last! An Easy Way to Speak Spanish." I really think that they should have called it "Shortcuts to Spanish Success". It really does have hundreds of shortcuts that help make the transition from English to Spanish very simple.

This is Spanish that you can learn and use in less than a month! It is very practical and useful. The course writer, Marcus Santamaria, shows you over 253 words that are almost the same in English and Spanish. There are actually hundreds more and Mr. Santamaria covers them very well in his 31 lesson audio course. People from all over the world have written in to say how much they liked the course and how it has helped them speak Spanish. I'm very impressed with what this course offers as well as it's value.

The downside? Well, if you are looking for something dry and boring covering all the rules of grammer and the conjugation of various verbs, I'd go to a bookstore and buy "A million and one Spanish verbs". (Rocket Spanish does offer the rules of grammar if you feel it is important to you).

How much is it? If you want to download it, it's only $29.95. If you want it delivered to your home, it's a little more, $49.95 still a great bargain.

I give it 5 stars because of it's price and immediate usability.
