Rocket Spanish – For The Person On The Go

One of the greatest reasons why Rocket Languages and Rocket Spanish are perfect programs for learners with a busy lifestyle is because the lessons can be taken on the go. It is not necessary to be at your computer to do all the learning, and you do not need to be in a classroom either. They make this possible by allowing all of the audio lessons to be downloaded into MP3 format.

Put It On Your iPod/iPhone

MP3 format is an audio format for files, and when downloaded onto the hard drive can virtually be taken anywhere. The files can be added into a music library and put onto an MP3 player, or you can burn the audio lessons onto CD-R’s. It may not seem as such a big deal now, but the portability will come in handy later. Most people spend the majority of their time during the day in their car, or waiting in line, and with a CD or MP3 player, they can kill two birds with one stone.

Put What Little “Down Time” You Have To Use

Some great places that this feature will come in handy are in the car or commute to work, waiting in lines while running errands, at the gym, and even laying out by a pool. Sometimes it is not possible to bring a computer to the places you need to go to, and when learning a language, the more exposure to it, the better.

What is even better about this is that the Internet is not needed to access the MP3 files once they are put onto the computer.  In a case where Internet access cannot be reached, the files are still readily available.  PDF formats for the text lessons are also used in the Premium course, so saving the text can be done as well.

What use is a program that you are spending a good chunk of change on, if it cannot be used regularly in your schedule? Many similar language programs can only be used with the software or Internet, and for someone who is always running around, that will not be as helpful. The files can be kept forever, even once you are done with the program, so you can always refer back to them. Even the Sample Course provides MP3 files for the three audio lessons provided.

Mini Lesson – Know These Spanish Emotions

On a completely different note, it is important to know vocabulary to describe how you are feeling. When learning Spanish, emotions should be looked over in the first few weeks of studying. Emotions are important words to know and the simple answer “I am good” may not always be true. To get your point across when someone asks how you are doing these words should be added to the other Spanish vocabulary you already know:

Abburido – bored

nervioso – nervous

enojado – angry

enfermo – sick

ocupado – busy

sorprendido – surprised

triste – sad

empaciente – impatient

contento – pleased

alegre – happy

To keep vocabulary fresh in your mind, always keep a list handy of the words. Look at them often and make flashcards; having someone else test you is a great idea too. You will be able to know hundreds of vocabulary words in no time!
