subject: Mauricio Evlampieff - Does the System Actually Work? [print this page] Author: anthony brown Author: anthony brown
Rocket Spanish is an online Spanish learning system. Does it really work?
WHAT DOES THE SYSTEM LOOK LIKE?
Rocket Spanish is available as a set of CDs or as a download. It comes with videos, audio, and software games. In addition to that, you get access to the Learning Lounge where you can test your progress, and connect with other users and teachers.
The idea is to teach Spanish by a system known as Visual Association. You learned your mother tongue by visual association. You HEARD a word and SAW its meaning at the same time. In this manner you easily and quickly learned the meanings of words. Rocket Spanish tries to replicate the process with the use of video, audio, and software.
DOES IT WORK?
Rocket Spanish is powerful, IF you can commit to working with the system regularly. Ideally, you should aim to work with the material for a little time every day (30min to 1hr at least). The lessons are made to build on each other. Because of this, being consistent is important.
Picking up a language is much like learning to ride a bike. For the first little while you may feel that you aren't getting anywhere. If you keep going, however, you will come to a point where things suddenly "fall into place". You will find yourself creating sentences without effort and picking up most of the words in the audio recordings.
Then you can proceed to learning more advanced vocabulary and grammar.
IS ROCKET SPANISH A GOOD FIT FOR EVERYONE?
Some students find it difficult to focus if there is no outside pressure like an upcoming "exam" or an instructor checking their "homework".
Rocket Spanish is a do it yourself approach. It is very powerful but you have to provide the consistency yourself.
If you think you might need the pressure of a classroom situation in order to take action, consider a class at a local college. Remember, however, that a class will cost much more and will take longer.
If you are serious about learning the Spanish language and can put aside some time each day, Rocket Spanish can have you speaking Spanish in 8-10 weeks.
