]]> Comment on Learn Spanish With Rocket Spanish Or Rosetta Stone Language Course ? by Ron http://rocketspanishreviewed.com/learn-spanish-with-rocket-spanish-or-rosetta-stone-language-course#comment-309 Ron Wed, 27 Aug 2008 01:36:41 +0000 http://rocketspanishreviewed.com/?p=16#comment-309 I used both of these courses and they both work well in teaching you basic conversation skills, however, none of these courses will make you fluent. Fluency is accomplished by speaking with native speakers. After completing these courses I felt comfortable enough to go shopping, check into a hotel, ask for things like directions, what I wanted to do and describe what people are doing, but I certainly could not hold a conversation about sports or politics. (Two topics I’m familiar with) I think the bottom line is that these courses serve as a good foundation for the language, but to become fluent, you have to work at that on your own. A good analogy I once read is learning Spanish or any language is like taking a karate class. You start from the beginning and work your way up to advance - a black belt, but if you take your black belt into a ring with a world class professional fighter, you’re going to take a beating. You need real life experience to survive in the ring and to get better. Same holds true for languages. Once you learn all the basics, you'll have to go out and start using what you learned in order to get better.
