The easiest and fastest way to learn any language is to visit and spend time in a country that speaks that language as its native tongue, allowing the student to engage in natural conversation enhances and improves the learning experience, but it is not possible for everyone to do this when learning Spanish, it would be absolutely fantastic but, unfortunately, this way of learning Spanish is pretty much the reserve of individuals who can afford to take the time and spend the money to do so, the rest of us, and yes, I do include myself in that, have to make do with learning Spanish using conventional methods.

The most common method of learning Spanish nowadays is the online course approach, gone are the days when you took a visit down to your local college or school and enrolled in a weekly class; they always seemed to take an eternity to teach you anything of any use anyway and became much more of a social gathering than a serious language course. Also the increasing cost of these courses against what was actually being learned made them extremely poor value for money; saying that though, they should not be confined to the scrap yard just yet as they do still serve a purpose, but I'm afraid the Spanish language evening class has had it's day and needs to move over.

So, the Spanish evening class has made way for and been replaced by the Spanish online course which is not only more effective at teaching Spanish, but also much more flexible and certainly a lot cheaper and the best course currently available on the internet, in relation to cost for quality, is Rocket Spanish.

Unlike so many of its competitors, both online and offline, Rocket Spanish engages the student in conversational Spanish right from the word go. Rather than force feeding the student copious amounts of grammar, Rocket Spanish concentrates on spoken Spanish as you will enter into actual dialogue as if you were in Spain, Mexico or any other Spanish speaking country.

The course contains audio lessons, which can be easily downloaded and burned onto a CD or an mp3, software, written material and games. In relation to cost Rocket Spanish is streets ahead of its competitors, sure there are expensive courses out there of superb quality such as ‘Rosetta Stone’ that you will pay anything between $400 and $600 for but for a quality course at a great price you cannot beat Rocket Spanish.

Although the course is downloadable you can have a physical version of the course shipped straight to your door but as it is no different to the downloaded course and 67% more expensive without the postage charge, my advice would be to stick with the download.

One of the big advantages of Rocket Spanish, unlike many of its competitors, is that they offer a free 6 day trial course that you can sign up for prior to making a full purchase, again proof that the course is excellent quality, I mean, who would risk putting off a potential customer with a free trial other than those who have confidence that what they are selling is a quality product.
