<p style="text-align: center;">
<h3><strong>Why type of course is Rocket Spanish?</strong></h3>
<p>Rocket Spanish is designed for anybody who wants to learn to speak Spanish. Whether it&#039;s for work, travel, or just for pleasure, the Rocket Spanish course will help you learn Spanish quickly and effectively.</p>
<h3><strong>What do you get with the Rocket Spanish package?</strong></h3>

<li>Software Learning Games</li>
<li>Word Memorization Flash Cards</li>

<li>10 Bonus Audio Lessons</li>
</ul>
<p>I will explain what you get with each component.</p>
<h2><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Rocket Spanish Audio Lessons</strong></span></h2>
<p>The core of the Rocket Spanish course is the <strong>interactive audio lessons</strong>. Level 1 includes 31 audio lessons as well as PDF transcripts of each lesson, in both Spanish and English. You can <a href="http://straightspanish.com/Rocket-Spanish" target="_blank">listen to samples of the audio lessons at the Rocket Spanish homepage.</a></p>
<h2>Rocket Spanish Grammar and Vocabulary Guides</h2>
<p>You also receive <strong>beginners and advanced grammar guides</strong> in PDF and MP3 audio format. Here&#039;s a snapshot of a portion of the Table of Contents of the Beginner&#039;s Grammar Guide:</p>
<p>This beginners guide consists of 218 pages and covers a variety of topics including</p>
<ul>
<li>basic pronunciations</li>
<li>telling time</li>
<li>a number of verbs</li>
<li>adjectives</li>
<li>pronouns</li>
<li> 24 page beginner&#039;s book vocabulary, Spanish to English and English to Spanish</li>
<li>and much more&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>Here&#039;s a look at a portion of the table of contents:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-187" title="Grammar Table of Contents" src="http://straightspanish.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/beg-grammar-screen-toc.png" alt="Grammar Table of Contents" width="305" height="263" /></p>
<p>If you are starting from ground zero and don&#039;t know any Spanish, this guide is an excellent reference. The accompanying audio files are very handy as well.</p>
<h2>Conversational Coursebook</h2>
<p>The conversational coursebook that comes with Rocket Spanish is great for people who want to learn casual, conversational Spanish. It is 119 pages of pure content and covers a variety of topics including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Greeting and Goodbyes</li>
<li>Introductions</li>

<li>Courteous Expressions</li>

<li>Countries of Origin</li>
<li>Personal Questions</li>
<li>and much more&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>Here&#039;s a sneak peak of the conversation coursebook:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-188 aligncenter" title="conversational coursebook" src="http://straightspanish.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/conversational-coursebook-img.png" alt="conversational coursebook" width="400" height="226" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-189 aligncenter" title="conversational coursebook sample" src="http://straightspanish.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/conversational-coursebook-img2.png" alt="conversational coursebook sample" width="400" height="310" /></p>
<p>This guide is a great resource for to pickup simple expressions that you come up often in daily conversations. If you want to learn Spanish to converse with native speakers, the Conversational Coursebook covers everything you need to know.</p>
<h2>Rocket Spanish Software Learning Games</h2>
<p>The MegaSpanish Software Learning Games allow you to interactively learn the most important parts of the Spanish language. The software consists of three main parts:</p>
<ul>
<li>MegaVocab</li>
<li>MegaVerbs</li>
<li>MegaAudio</li>
</ul>
<p>Here&#039;s a look at the MegaSpanish software interface:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-190" title="mega audio" src="http://straightspanish.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/megaaudio-img.png" alt="mega audio" width="445" height="332" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-191" title="mega vocab" src="http://straightspanish.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/megavocab-img.png" alt="mega vocab" width="445" height="333" /></p>
<p>Interactive software is often the easiest way to learn a new language. You can go at your own pace, repeat lessons if need be, and speak aloud to help internalize the phrases you learn.</p>
<h2>Word Memorizations Flash Cards</h2>
<p>Flash cards are a great way to memorize those pesky little rules that don&#039;t seem to make any sense! The flashcards come layed out in a PDF, so all you have to do is print them and cut them out and you are ready to go. Here is an explanation of the flash card games and a look at a couple flash cards:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-192" title="Rocket Spanish Flash Card Instructions" src="http://straightspanish.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/megacards-img.png" alt="Rocket Spanish Flash Card Instructions" width="452" height="396" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-193" title="Rocket Spanish Flash Card Example" src="http://straightspanish.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/flashcard-1.png" alt="Rocket Spanish Flash Card Example" width="445" height="300" /></p>
<p>There are beginner and advanced level flashcards with over 500 commonly used words and phrases to test yourself or others with. Here are just a few phrases from the beginner flash cards&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>In front of&#8230;</li>
<li>Intelligent</li>
<li>To Invite</li>
<li>There is nothing left</li>
<li>Over there</li>
<li>Pilot</li>
<li>I&#039;m Sleepy</li>
<li>and many others&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<h2>Rocket Spanish Learning Forum</h2>
<p>When you order Rocket Spanish you gain lifetime access to their Spanish learning forum, full of other like-minded individuals learning Spanish as well as a team of Spanish teachers to help you with any specific questions you have. This forum is invaluable and is worth the cost of the course by itself. Be sure to utilize it, the teachers are there to help you.</p>
<h2>10 Bonus Audio Lessons</h2>
<p>These lessons are only available for a limited time, so <a href="http://straightspanish.com/Rocket-Spanish" target="_blank">check out Rocket Spanish</a> to see if you can still get them. These bonus lessons cover a variety of common topics like numbers, colors, clothing, countries, body parts, and more. These tracks clock in at over three and a half hours of additional instruction. If you are lucky, they will still be offering this.</p>
<p>That is the crux of level 1 of Rocket Spanish. All the resources you need to learn Spanish are there. But if you already know a bit of Spanish and want to become as fluent as native speakers or you are just determined to learn as much Spanish as you can, you may want to consider purchasing Rocket Spanish level 2.</p>
<h2>What you get with Rocket Spanish Level 2</h2>
<ul>
<li>28 audio tracks totaling over 18 hours</li>
<li>Transcripts of the audio conversations</li>
</ul>
<p>These are more advanced audio courses designed to cover everything you need to know to live in a Spanish speaking country. You will learn everything from getting a job to doing your bills to understanding the history and culture of many Spanish speaking countries.</p>
<p>If you plan on living in or visiting a Spanish speaking country, level 2 of Rocket Spanish is an invaluable resource that will help you fit in and understand the native culture.</p>

<h2>So&#8230;.Should I get Rocket Spanish??</h2>
<p>Considering all the options for learning Spanish, Rocket Spanish is the most comprehensive course I have come across that is also very affordable. And best of all, if you buy Rocket Spanish and don&#039;t think it was worth it, you have a full 60 days ro return it for a 100% refund. Can&#039;t beat that deal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have considered learning Spanish, but do not have much enthusiasm to begin an <a href="http://straightspanish.com/Rocket-Spanish" target="_blank">online course</a> or a traditional <a href="http://straightspanish.com/free-spanish-lessons"><img class="alignright" title="Learn Spanish" src="http://www.spanishfortourists.com/commJunction/banners/translationGlobe.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a>method of studying the language, then do not despair.  There is another option that will assist you in learning this fantastic language whilst enjoying yourself at the same time, and that is to learn Spanish in Spain.</p>
<p><strong>The Adventure That Would Teach You a Thing Or Two</strong></p>
<p>Spain is a country that is fabulous to live in, visit, study, work, and generally enjoy.  If you were to ask anyone their opinion about Spain, you are likely to hear great things.  There is not one single place in Spain where people would not like to be or would not want to visit.   Spain is both romantic and thrilling, and a great investment of both time and money can be had when taking a vacation to this wonderful country.</p>
<p>Once arriving in Spain, there are numerous ways in which you can learn Spanish.  You could learn the language through formal outlets such as teaching academies or have close and continuous interaction with the locals.  However, if choosing the second option, it is important not to continually speak English with them, as they may be inclined to respond in English which will completely defeat the object of you going to Spain to learn Spanish. The only thing you should say in English is &#034;My main language is English, but I want to learn Spanish in your beautiful country, so only speak Spanish to me.&#034; Or something to that affect.</p>
<p>Because you do not have to accomplish the task of learning Spanish fluently whilst in Spain; rather it will be a method of communication, you will enjoy it much more.  Therefore, because you are finding it interesting and enjoyable, you will find that the language is rather simple and, at times, effortless.</p>
<p><strong>It Is Easy To Learn Spanish in Spain: You Live It Every Day</strong></p>
<p>An explanation is very often sought after by people who find it rather simple to learn Spanish whilst in Spain.  The explanation is as simple as it is obvious.  When visiting this beautiful country, you are exposed to the language, culture, and the various dialects during every minute of every day.  Of course you will absorb a certain amount of that exposure, sometimes without even realizing.</p>
<p>The best thing about choosing this method of learning Spanish is that it is not something that you have to achieve in a certain time frame, as it may be if you went to learn the language at a school.  Learning Spanish whilst in Spain is not a task or an obligation.  The pronunciation of the Spanish language will also become effortless as you will be absorbing the correct expressions, words, and phrases as you hear them on a day-to-day basis in real life situations.  You will never find a better way of learning Spanish than learning it in Spain.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/peru" target="_blank">Peru</a> is an extremely beautiful country and home to an extremely popular tribal population.  Peru also hosts the rich <a href="http://straightspanish.com/free-spanish-lessons"><img class="alignright" title="Free Spanish Lessons" src="http://www.spanishfortourists.com/commJunction/banners/seeUnderstand_mexico.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a>history of the mighty Inca tribes.  The Incas were advanced people for their time and region and they spoke their own tribal language rather than Spanish.  This helped them to maintain their tribal culture.  A majority of the other tribes that were present in Peru also developed their own language for exactly the same reason as the Incas, many of which are still in existence today.  However Peru was conquered and settled by the Spanish many centuries ago and over time the primary language spoken in Peru became Spanish.  The Spanish language was spoken by many, even though many maintained their tribal dialects.</p>
<p>It is particularly interesting to learn how Spanish has remained a separate language from that of the many tribal languages.   A rich Spanish culture has entered into Peruvian society over the centuries and now Spanish is as much a part of Peru as the tribal traditions and culture.  So when a person makes the decision to learn Spanish in Peru, they will receive a hybrid of various cultures that have combined over the centuries and become part of a proud tribal land.  Because there are many different dialects of the language in Peru, in order to learn correctly and understand, you would need to initially select one dialect out of the many that there are.</p>
<p>As part of their official education, children in Peru will learn basic Spanish along with their tribal language.  If you take the decision to learn Spanish in Peru, you may also want to attempt to study a few of the tribal languages, so that you can get a real feel of how to communicate and be part of the fantastic culture that is present in this magnificent land.  Regardless of why you may wish to learn Spanish in Peru, you can rest assured that there is a rich variety of languages to choose from in order to be able to become involved in the Peruvian culture.</p>
<p><strong>Not As Much of a Hybrid</strong></p>
<p>It is mentioned that when learning Spanish in Peru, you may discover that you are learning Spanish correctly without much development into Peruvian culture.  This development comes from the capability of learning the tribal languages which stand apart from Spanish.  Peru is united by the Spanish language; however, the tribal languages allow people to retain their individuality and their culture.</p>
<p>The people of Peru are extremely proud individuals, and whilst Peru may be united under the Spanish language, it will always remain to be a tribal area that retains its individuality whilst maintaining itself as a nation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you were in Hong Kong as a business person and made the decision that you would like to learn another language in <a href="http://straightspanish.com/free-spanish-lessons"><img class="alignright" title="Free Spanish Lessons" src="http://www.spanishfortourists.com/commJunction/banners/seeUnderstand_mexico.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a>order to communicate with other business people worldwide, what language would you learn?  If English is one of your languages then you will have no problem carrying out business in Hong Kong, as English and Chinese are the official languages of this magnificent country.  However, if you are based in Hong Kong and plan to travel the world, you may wish to think about learning Spanish.</p>
<p>The second most spoken language in the world is Spanish, the first being English.  So if you would like to communicate with almost half a billion people, then Spanish is the language to learn.  Because Spanish has greatly evolved and altered throughout its introduction to other cultures, it has taken on some characteristics of some Arabic and other languages, which make the need to learn Spanish in Hong King almost obligatory if you plan on carrying out business worldwide.  When learning Spanish in Hong Kong, you can potentially connect with more individuals that have the same language skills than almost any other language in the world.  Also, when you are undertaking international business, language skills are of the greatest importance.</p>
<p>Spanish, over recent times, has become a more necessary language in the United States, and many business people need to learn it.  Therefore, the Spanish language could be learned in Hong Kong and used along with your English speaking skills to begin a business in the United States and carry out international business with the richest country in the world.  The United States also happens to have one of the largest consumer markets worldwide, with a large percentage of the consumer population speaking at least basic Spanish.  Therefore, a business person in Hong Kong would almost be required to learn Spanish if they were really serious about doing business in the United States.</p>
<p><strong>Where To Get Your Lessons</strong></p>
<p>Spanish can be learned in many different ways whilst in Hong Kong.  However, it is of great importance to ensure that it is learned in the correct manner and with the appropriate teachers.  Nevertheless, there are two larger organizations that can assist you in learning this great language in an extremely effective way.  The <a href="http://www.hku.hk/" target="_blank">University of Hong Kong</a> is the first way in which you could learn Spanish in Hong Kong.  When making the decision to attend the University, you will be offered Spanish language courses along with the opportunity to take a major in Spanish.  Effective communication can be learned at university level, which will only assist you in strengthening your ability to carry out business with the rest of the world.</p>
<p>The second way of learning Spanish effectively in Hong Kong is in the <a href="http://www.spanish-chamber.com.hk/home.asp?L=2" target="_blank">Spanish Chamber of Commerce</a>.  They greatly believe in spreading the Spanish language and culture to all corners of the earth, and they are also located in Hong Kong.  You can browse their site or <a href="http://weblink.camacoes.net/consultas/?CodCam=8520&amp;LN=EN" target="_blank">contact the Spanish Chamber of Commerce via e-mail</a> if you have any specific questions.  Whichever method of learning Spanish in Hong Kong you select, you can rest assured that the language will bring you nothing but enjoyment, success, and - with any luck -  good fortune!</p>
