Day six of the Rocket Spanish Sample Course is the final installment that is sent to you via e-mail. There are no more full lessons after this one, so it is important to take full advantage of everything that is in this last session. Day six deals with getting what you want. This applies to ordering something, like food or a beverage, or seeking help in case of an emergency.
 

I Need, I Want, and I Would Like

Mauricio and Amy both agree that “I need”, “I want”, and “I would like” are the three most critical verbs to understand and know in Spanish in order to get what you want. Translated to Spanish they are as follows: Necesito, Quiero, and Me Gustaria. All three of these verbs were taught in the audio lesson in Day Five, and if you forgot any of the conversation, do not worry because it is typed out again in this lesson as well. If you need help with the pronunciation for any of these words, the red button with the triangle to the left will say it correctly for you.
 

Ordering with Manners

Me gustaria literally translates to “it would please me,” and is a better choice of words than saying “I want”. Especially when talking to strangers in a foreign country, it is only courteous to use manners. The next section of Lesson Six is all about ordering with manners. Some examples that are given could be used when needing to book a hotel room or to order food. Also do not forget that the words please and thank you are used in other countries as well. “Por favor” means “please” in Spanish, and “gracias” means “thank you”.
 

Something To Drink

In addition to all of the vocabulary related to food, beverages are important as well. You may want to meet someone for tea or grab a cup of coffee with a business partner, so it is important to be familiar with the assortment of beverages out there. In Lesson Six, Mauricio and Amy give you a list of different beverages you may want to order including coffee, tea, and café con leche, a popular Spanish coffee drink. They also teach different ways to prepare coffee, for instance coffee with milk, or coffee with sugar.
 

Help!

The final section of this lesson is all about help; whether it be an emergency or if you need assistance with something. Mauricio and Amy give examples of someone saying they need help with their luggage. They tell you how to say “I need help”, and “Can you help me?” When dealing with an emergency or un emergencia, vocabulary like ¡Auxilio! (Help!), ¡Ladrón! (Thief!), and ¡Fuego! (Fire!) could be very useful.
 

Accents

Why do accents exist in the Spanish language? Accents are used to show irregular words or stressed syllables. It is important to be aware of accents because some words are spelled exactly alike and the only difference is that one has an accent and the other does not. An accent can change the entire meaning of a word. An example where this occurs is as follows: “esta” means this and “está” means it is.
