WARNING! Don't Even Think About Buying A Spanish Course Until You Read This...
Hey…
I’m Dave Gallacher and if you’ve read Learn Spanish 101 which went up in February (okay, I’ve been far too busy to post here regularly) you’ll know how Rocket Spanish really saved the sanity (and probably the new business) of my close friends Matt & Sarah.
By the way, life is being really good to them out there in Spain. So much so, I can’t help mentioning there have been a few whispers round the campfire that others will join them soon! (Yeah Andy, I heard!) So when are you going to learn Spanish?
Anyway, where was I…?
Oh yeah, Rocket Spanish!
Okay… looks as if I’ve created a monster here. This could very well turn into a learn Spanish rant so be prepared. Emails from some wild and wonderful people have arrived thick and fast asking why the Rocket Spanish system works so well. (thank you Matthew for handing out my email address so freely!) To all interested parties, some sound advice. Either, you can window shop ‘til you drop only to discover there ain’t any freebies or books out there worth wasting your time on. (I know, I’ve been on that road to nowhere with Matt and Sarah!) Or… invest in a proven learn Spanish course that’ll have you doing the Antonio Banderas or Penelope Cruz thing in a few short months. Guaranteed!
So, to save time and probably my marriage too…
Here are some straight answers to your questions…
Do I really have to learn Spanish if travelling or living in a Spanish speaking country?
Believe me, if you intend travelling or relocating to a Spanish speaking country, one of the most important life survival skills you can have is the ability to speak the language. That way, you’ll avoid feeling like a lost stranger in a strange world…
Think about it. If your dream is to live on a beautiful foreign shore, don’t you want to fully appreciate and experience every great thing the country has to offer? Why restrict your new life to the English speaking tourist areas? When doing any kind of business or communicating with government departments, why place your faith and trust in a bilingual advisor?
Matt’s told me he’s already gained a fair bit of street cred from the local guys simply because he drinks and eats in the same pubs and restaurants which they use. He and Sarah were accepted almost immediately in their new community and they’ve grabbed the best of both worlds. Occasionally, it’s dinner or a day out with English speaking friends but at the moment, they enjoy spending most of their time with new Spanish friends. Apart from the great social life, another benefit is they don’t pay ‘tourist’ prices for anything and they know where the best deals are. Paying tourist prices in Spain is the quick road to the poor house!
Remember that every year, thousands of people relocate to Spain or any of the other Spanish speaking countries to live the life of their dreams. Some succeed and build an amazing lifestyle, but sadly, almost half return home. Why? For a wide variety of reasons, many of which could have so easily been avoided if they’d just taken the time to learn Spanish.
Okay, so why does Rocket Spanish pass the ‘Pepsi Challenge’?
First off, it’s what they’ve done with the learning curve…They’ve used a system developed by a top university psychologist which trains your mind to process and store new language information in 1/3 of the time. Now, from an educational point of view, that’s fast.
Total number of people worldwide who have chosen to learn Spanish with Rocket Languages is now: 186,474 (maybe they know something?)
You’re learning Modern Spanish, the real language which all native speakers use in their everyday lives. No one uses traditional formal Spanish anymore. Rocket Spanish is a modern, up-to-date system specially designed to be both street-wise but also give you everything you must know. Matt and Sarah discovered the real benefits of this when organising their new home and business.
Nothing currently available on the market comes remotely close to Rocket Spanish for top level learning content, price, no hassle guarantee or the sheer user friendly versatility of the system. Simply download all the files and software onto your P.C. or Mac and your ready to go. Burn the Spanish audio MP3 onto CD’s, load them into your ipod and you can learn Spanish no matter where you are. Learn in the car, at work, soaking in the tub or even while taking the dog for a walk. Simple…

Choose the download option as there’s a huge saving compared to shipping the actual disks to your home. Not sure about downloading files? Don’t worry about it as they provide easy step by step instructions. Need help? Ask any teenager in your family. Most are self taught professionals who could easily teach Bill Gates a trick or two.
With Rocket Spanish, learning is a totally different sport. It’s scary, but in a good way. Why? Well originally, I had no real driving desire to learn Spanish. At that time, my own life master plan didn’t require it. I’d just been pulled in to help the guys get back on track before they left for Spain. After they’d kicked off with the new system, I basically just left them to it. But, any time I was round at their place or in Matt’s car, I’d often hear Mauricio chatting away in the background. Even without consciously giving what I was hearing any serious head space, I began stringing words together! The KGB couldn’t do a better job…
Which reminds me…the word is Government Agencies (CIA, FBI etc) were invited to trial the system and now use it in their training programme so that’s a good sign.
So why is learning much easier with Rocket Spanish?
Obviously, this psychologist knows what it takes to flick your learning switches. An extremely clever guy covered all the bases here. Learning speed accelerates off the scale with visual and aural stimulation. If your eyes and ears enjoy what you’re doing, storing new information is really easy. That’s why you can practically memorise the scenes and dialogue of your favourite movie without trying too hard. Rocket Spanish provides exactly the same high level of easy learning stimulation.
What’s included in the Rocket Spanish system?
Seems like everything you need apart from airline tickets!
Getting Started User Guide – Comes in both e-book and mp3. Detailed breakdown and overview of the system explains how to easily get your head into ‘learning mode.’ Great section on goal setting and lays out your master plan to fast track the Spanish language.
Interactive Audio MP3 Course – This kicks off with a complete series of 31 MP3 lessons where you really begin to learn Spanish with a wide range of common words and phrases with Mauricio Evalampieff, the creator of Rocket Spanish.
Four Audio MP3 e-books… but with a difference
Beginners Book- Helps you understand masculine and feminine nouns, verb conjugations, and explains why Spanish has many forms of “you”. No problems here.
Beginners Vocabulary Supplement– What this does is provide you with a huge vocabulary list geared for different social situations. Also included is an interesting collection of 10 stories written in Spanish which strengthens your vocabulary and reading skills all at once. Great technique.
Daily Conversation Course – This really helps push you along. It’s a series of 1,000 audio mp3 tracks which allow you to hear Spanish as you read it. Simply open e-book, click any word or phrase and listen to it. Loads of useful everyday words and phrases to learn Spanish quickly. It doesn’t come easier than this.
Advanced Book – Moving through the intermediate stage, this book continues where the Beginners Book left off and explains past and future tenses, as well as the difference between some tricky prepositions. By this time, it’s mostly all plain sailing.
Plus… two games for a real laid-back, relaxed learning session.
First there's MegaVocab, the Word Building Game… It’s been designed as a game but… there’s much more to it than first meets the eye…
When you first use it, there are 2,000 words with 20 different topics pre-loaded into the software. You choose anything from your Beginners or Advanced mp3 e-books. Click ‘start’ and picture appears with English word. On right of screen, 4 possible Spanish answers. Correct answer gives full points, get it wrong and receive 1 less point for each guess.
Now… this is where it gets really interesting…
The special built in feature called MegaVocab Creator.
With this, you can add 100’s of your own words and pictures. If you use this properly, you’ll expand your everyday social vocabulary even further… plus, if you’re real smart you should add the ‘buzz words’ that apply specifically to your employment…
A Nurse could add: scalpel, forceps, suture etc
A Builder could add: trowel, cement mixer, scaffold etc
A Lawyer could add: remember, to, overcharge, client etc
(Oops! If you’re a lawyer, I’m just kidding)
Then there's MegaAudio, the Sound Recognition Game…
This also is an excellent tool to build your confidence and help understand conversations. When learning Spanish, most people find it difficult to understand the spoken word. Its great getting the theory side of things sorted out but that’s not much good if you can’t hold a proper conversation with a native Spanish speaker is it?
With this one you have 1,000 words pre-loaded into the software. You choose one of the topics. Click ‘start’ and 6 pictures appear with English word under each one. Audio track plays Spanish equivalent. Match the sound with the picture. Correct answer gives full points, get it wrong and receive 1 less point for each guess.
A fantastic way to ‘tune’ your ear to Spanish sounds. Apart from building your conversational skills, you’ll be able to listen to and enjoy Spanish TV, movies and music. Always useful if you’re living in a Spanish speaking country.
Special Bonus 1
Mega Cards Beginners and Advanced series – This game is fantastic for learning Spanish pronunciation in a fun environment with no pressure on you to get it right all the time. Each Mega Card has it’s own picture, word and phrase, which you use to test your own powers of recall and pronunciation. Get family and friends into it and you’ll have a real laugh (especially if there’s wine involved!)
Special Bonus 2
Additional MP3 Lessons– An extra special effort by Mauricio and the team. These extra audio lessons were created as people had requested lessons which included certain vocabulary words and phrases. Topics range from colours to numbers and will help you to become an expert with difficult words and phrases.
Rocket Spanish Members Only Forum– You’ll find a great bunch of people in here and it’s so upbeat. They really want to learn Spanish so there's no negativity here at all which is always good. Use the forum to meet new people, make friends and practise your new Spanish skills. These guys really help each other because that’s what the worlds all about isn’t it? If you help others, help will be given to you. Any questions are answered almost immediately by Mauricio or any of the other Rocket Spanish experts and members.
Well… what’s not to like?
So my friend, that’s about all I can do for you here. I’ve done what I can to supply the best tools; the rest is up to you now. If Matt sent you here, hopefully this has helped clear the way so order a course now and get started! On the other hand, if you landed here by accident, hope this helps you too on your travels. Take care and good luck.
