Learn quick with Rocket Spanish

I always had a dream of visiting one new place every year. But, to make this dream come true and more enjoyable or rather less difficult I had to know their customs, their culture and mainly their LANGUAGE!

While fulfilling this dream I managed with English in Australia, New Zealand and London. The day I decided to travel to Spain & Mexico I thought of taking some Spanish speaking course. First thought was of a Spanish tutor which scared me with their high fee. While surfing through the internet, I found many Spanish online courses meant for beginners. Later, I browsed through their reviews, features; different levels of training and study material offered in the packages and narrowed down to three of them, Rosetta Stone, Pimsleur Spanish and Rocket Spanish. The first one is too expensive while the second one asked me to remain online all the time!

Selecting a course which is easy, convenient to use and worth for its price was getting difficult for me until I read in more detail about Rocket Spanish. Where else could I start learning to speak Spanish in less than 3 months? I went for it as it is indeed value for money at such an affordable price!

Rocket Spanish is a crisp package offering 400 grammar exercises, vocabulary-building games, pronounciation-perfecting audio lessons, access to their emails supports and forums for querries at the cheapest price in the market. One more attractive feature for me was their 56 days no question asked money back guarantee. I was in no loss as I would have learnt something by the time I was refunded. Their audio tracks are all MP3s so they can quickly and easily be played on the computer, burned to a CD or put onto your MP3 player for use when you are at the gym, in the car or just about anywhere! With a flexible approach, this interactive software is so engrossing that I used to look forward to the next lesson.

It offers a convenient platform to learn at your own pace with various forms of media from audio to video to text to learn Spanish. With a quality program like Rocket Spanish I found an easy way to learn and speak authentic as well as the conversational Spanish! Conversational Spanish is the one which is normally spoken in films, by local people and even used in the musical lyrics.

The advantage with learning Spanish is that it is a very beautiful and uncomplicated language which can be learned with ease. It is one of the easiest foreign languages to learn. Much of its vocabulary is similar to English's, and written Spanish is almost completely phonetic. Look at almost any Spanish word and you can tell how it is pronounced. Also words like tortilla, barracuda, mosquito, tobacco, oregano, cargo, siesta, and salsa all mean the same thing in English as they mean in Spanish. You already know some Spanish words! Anyone can do it and so can you with Rocket Spanish!

My trip to Spain was awesome, thanks to Rocket Spanish which was useful to me. The next places in my list are France, Germany, Japan and so on. So, I might go for Rocket French, German and Japanese too! Make sure you get something that is highly recommended as it is not always how much information you are given but how it is presented and offered to you that makes for an easy way to learn Spanish. Good luck friend!

Easy steps to enjoy learning Spanish

Building a sound foundation: For any new activity to begin, a strong base is essential specially one like learning a new language. Concentrating on the grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and pronunciation will help you build a solid base. Your reading, writing, speaking and understanding of the language will entirely bank on your foundation.

Marking targets: Set targets that are reasonable, achievable and helping you move ahead. Try something new each day so as to avoid boredom. For e.g. learn 5 new words with their meanings, their usage, their places in the sentence, etc.

Practicing regularly: Practice in any form like reading, writing or speaking will help your grip over the language. Practicing the pronunciation, the accent and the sound will familiarize you to the dialect of the language. Second would be practicing the grammar and the vocabulary like revising words daily or the nouns and pronouns.

No disappointment: Study at your own pace. Don’t push yourself too hard to complete the portion by ignoring the quality. Don’t get discouraged with the speed you are learning. See that how well you can master the topic.

Specializing on topics that interest you: If you are a football fan, then make your study more enjoyable by reading about it or even trying Spanish commentary! For music lovers, just put on your headphones and dance to the Spanish tunes! Listen to their lyrics and try understanding what it means.

Learning Spanish offers a lot more with fun

Not only is learning Spanish becoming increasingly important in terms of the global economy, it can also play a major role in your own personal development. Learning Spanish for a specific purpose is fine, but you'll enjoy your studies a lot more and get more out of them if you appreciate the language itself.

I believe that the true learning of a language is when you see the beauty of the language and everything a second language offers: a better understanding of your own language, the ability to converse with people from other cultures, and more enjoyable travels in countries where that language is spoken.

Learning a new language makes you bi-lingual and very employable because bilingual people are more marketable and have more career choices. Helps you enhance better critical thinking skills - being bilingual means seeing the world through more than 1 lense; a skill that can give you the much-needed edge in the job market.

This is something that not many people (in relative terms) can do and makes the skill something that will definitely help you along the career path. You would be more appealing to employers if your resume reflects that you have Spanish skills. And wherever you live, if you're in any occupation that involves international trade, communications or tourism, you'll similarly find opportunities to use your new language skills.

The Spanish passion for living is contagious and once you start to learn about the language and culture, you won't ever want to stop. Once you know Spanish you can be friends with any of the 40 million Spanish speakers in the United States. And how about traveling throughout Mexico, Spain, & Latin America to enjoy the night life with flamenco dances, watching the bullfights and the exciting football matches?

It's a chance to experience new music, food, movies, & much more! A large body of literary work is written in Spanish and Spanish language films continue to receive praise from the film industry and viewers.

Spanish Alphabets and Ordinals

Learning Ordinals is one of the easiest things to learn in Spanish. Ordinals are basically numbers in adjective form. For eg: One in English is a number and first is the ordinal. Here are the most commonly used first ten ordinals:

  • First: primero
  • Second: segundo
  • Third: tercero
  • Fourth: cuarto
  • Fifth: quinto
  • Sixth: sexto
  • Seventh: séptimo, sétimo
  • Eighth: octavo
  • Ninth: noveno
  • Tenth: décimo

Knowing alphabets in English makes it all the more easy to learn alphabets in Spanish. Spanish alphabets have a similarity with alphabets of western European languages including English. These are the alphabets in Spanish with their pronounications.

a - a

h - ache

n - ene

t - te

b - be

i - i

ñ - eñe

u - u

Spanish easier for English speaking people

Because of its Latin roots, a nearly identical alphabet and pronunciation rule, Spanish is one of the easiest languages for an English speaker like me to learn. Since Spanish is also a Latin language, you will find as you study Spanish that you have a better understanding of your native vocabulary. Similarly, both Spanish and English share Indo-European roots, so their grammars are similar.

I couldn’t find a more effective way to learn English grammar than by studying the grammar of Spanish, for the study forced me to think about how English is structured. And while mastering the grammar of Spanish can be a challenge, basic grammar is straightforward enough that you can have meaningful communication after only a few lessons. If you know English and Spanish you will be able to speak to more than half the population of the world!
