There is so much to keep you occupied when visiting the Rocket Spanish website. Without making a single purchase you can visit the forums, explore an entire Sample Course, learn all about the Premium Course, and read bios about all of the wonderful people who work for Rocket Spanish and Rocket Languages. I had no idea there was even more to do and recently stumbled upon a whole new area of the website.

Additional Resources

When looking at the dropdown menu under the word Spanish on the top right corner of the Rocket Spanish Homepage, you can be taken to many different places. The Sample Course, the Premium Course, the Order Form, and the Community are some of the selections you can click; the last choice is Rocket Spanish Resources. Rocket Spanish Resources is a free area of additional Spanish help and support in many various areas of the Spanish Language. There is assistance with grammar, verbs, and vocabulary. It is all separate from any type of course they offer, and 100% free to the public to view and use.

Learn Phrases, Culture, and Grammar

“Learn Phrases, Culture, and Grammar” is the first of two sections that the additional resource page has. It is sub-divided into five smaller categories titled: Practice Spanish Phrases, Spanish Grammar, Spanish Verbs, Spanish Culture from Around the World, and Pronunciation. Each of these links is connected to pages of information regarding their titles. They go over all types of verb tenses, explain some of the irregular verbs, clarify differences in the many Spanish-speaking countries, and cover everything you need to pronounce Spanish words correctly. A great refresher if you are about to go to a Spanish-speaking country, or a perfect introduction if you have yet to learn about the Spanish language. There are rules and examples to follow to keep you on track, and if you want, you can even print out the information to take it on the go.

Resources To Use While Traveling

“Resources To Use While Traveling” is the second section in the Additional Resources part of the Rocket Spanish website. It too has many sub categories, some examples are: at the airport, in the emergency room, in the city, and at the post office. This section is strictly vocabulary and is divided by the different places you could be when needing to know some Spanish. Each link has approximately thirty words with the Spanish word and the English translation. These are great to familiarize yourself with because the terms and phrases are helpful, basic, and always useful.
