How Much?

The prices vary depending on what language voucher you would like to acquire. Just be aware that only the online, downloadable products can be purchased with a voucher. That means hardcopy software that is received in the mail cannot be redeemed with a voucher. The cheapest voucher you can purchase is American Sign Language, at $49.95, and the most expensive are the combo packs at $169.90, Rocket Spanish is $99.95 or $169.90 for the combo. Paying is easy and the form is on the same page, requesting your full name and e-mail address. Below that is a drop-down menu to select which product you want and then you just click the button underneath to be transferred to a secure payment form. They accept all major credit cards and even paypal.

What Happens Next?

After purchasing the voucher you can choose to print it out or e-mail it to the recipient. There is a sample of what the voucher looks like, and if printed out you can put it inside a card, or physically hand it to the receiver. If you choose not to print it, an email will be sent to whomever you wish and they will get it in that form. The person who is accepting this gift will be able to register for Rocket Spanish by going to the given URL and by typing in a one-of-a-kind code. Once that is done, the recipient can start right away with learning Spanish!

Spanish Videos

Sure there are programs you can download, online communities that you can post questions on, and games that drill vocabulary to learn a language, but have you ever used Youtube as a resource? Youtube.com is a wonderful resource to learn Spanish, or any other language in that case. By typing in “learn Spanish” or “learn the Spanish language” in the search box over fifteen thousand results came up. The videos are posted by various members and range in time from a minute and a half to ten minutes. They are quick lessons either going over specific verbs or vocabulary and they all have differing teaching methods. It is a great way to expose yourself to new learning techniques and maybe you will find ways that benefit you more than others. It can be trial and error, but any new resource to learn a language should be given an opportunity.
