And honestly, if someone is determined and committed, everything needed to learn Spanish is available for free on the internet.

But that being said, a good course can save a lot of time and effort just by consolidating the best information in one place.

I have seen many many programs and I have to say Rocket has put this together with considerably more thought and experience than most programs out there. It utilizes several different teaching methods, as we all respond better to different techniques. Audio content (with written transcripts), numerous written lessons, games, and lots of exercises to help work on weak areas.

Rocket Spanish

It has been around for awhile and has earned a bit of a following, so as a result there is a members forum which can be a valuable resource if one chooses to use it.

In addition, email support is quite good as well.

All in all I would have to rate Rocket Spanish as the best value for money that I have seen so far. There are some courses that offer  more information and some have considerably higher production values, ie presented in high quality video format and higher quality graphics. But the costs are also triple and sometimes much much more – and the extra costs just are not justified. All the information you need to learn Spanish is here, presented in a logical sequence and at a very good price.

The rest is up to the student.

good quality -good value for money.
