When I started looking to learn Spanish online it was so I could enjoy myself more when traveling to Mexico. I always felt that I needed to know what the locals were saying to me. In my travels I have tried and tested many different Spanish courses and programs.

The first one I saw was RosettaStone, it was simple and easy to use, the methods seemed to work quickly and effectively. But the price was very high. But It had good reviews and if you want to actually learn a language, how can you actually put a price on it? Later in my travels I discovered other methods of learning that cost much less.

In fact, the free lessons for speaking spanish didnt really work at all if you wanted to become fluent or have a conversation. I guess it all comes down to " you get what you pay for". I got a Spanish CD from the library, but to little success as I wanted to use it while driving to and from destinations. Maybe this will work for you, but I just couldnt concentrate enough to make the most out of it.

What you Get with Rocket Spanish

You can either buy the Rocket Spanish CDs or the instant downloadable version. I recommend the download, you get instant access and save hundreds of dollars, of course you could download it onto CDs or your ipod anyways. Their website is helpful with FREE audios for you to listen to and see if its something for you. Rocket Spanish course is highly rated by every review I could find online and offers a 100% money back guarantee. So you might as well get the one more people recommend as #1

What Is Synergy Spanish

Another downloadable Spanish language software course. Synergy Spanish does deliver with everything they claim. 138 words is all you need to have a conversation in Spanish. Now this is far from fluent or intellectual conversation, but it is powerful and makes travelling a breeze. Again, they have a 60 day 100% money back guarantee. I found this the best for learning Spanish right before travelling. Very cost effective.

Learn Spanish Like Crazy

Just like in the title, you will learn to speak Spanish... like crazy. Although its not as easy to use ( in my opinion ) as Rocket Spanish, you're going to find Spanish Like crazy to be brilliant and exciting. You have to at least have a look at this one, to see for yourself. I rate it #2 on my list of Learn to Speak Spanish lessons review.

With so many reasons to speak another language why not make it Spanish. If you are in N.America, and are looking to travel to the lesser cost destinations, your going to be going to Spanish speaking cities. If your in Canada, French is a great second language to learn as Canadians have the benefit of 2 official languages. Another language I would like to learn would be German... dont really know why, but I've already started. I used Rocket German and within 2 weeks I can count to 10 and have a tiny conversation. I highly recommend learning a new language, especially with Rocket Spanish.

Did You Know ?

Spanish is spoke by between 322 and 400 million people natively, and 400-500 million total. Making Spanish the most spoken Romance language and possibly the second most spoken language by number of native speakers.

If learning a second language is what you want, then Spanish is a great choice. I had always wanted to go to Spain. I would have gone already if I had known how to. But now I can speak a little Spanish, a overdue trip is in the making for next spring. go learn Spanish, then go to Mexico or Spain to test it out, sounds like an adventure and makes life worth living! Then German is next on the list... for me.
