Hola! I am new to Rocket Spanish. I have gotten my feet wet by taking a few lessons and have explored the site. Before I progressed further, I wanted to ask those of you who are more experienced how / if you incorporated Survival Kit materials like the Beginner's Book, Conversation Course, and Vocab Supplement into your studies. Did you tackle these before, during or after you finished the course? Muchas gracias.

For me it's all 3! I printed out all of the survival kit materials, and used them throughout the courses. While just about everything in the materials is also covered in the courses, they serve as a sort "refresher" for me. Even after getting to the Platinum level, I go back and read through the Conversation Course to remind me of things that I covered earlier. I keep the Survival Kits from all of the courses handy, as they cover things that I just can't always remember (like words for business, shopping, food, household items and that sort of thing). I'm always finding little words that I had forgotten, or never really learned in the first place.

You will notice a correlation between the Conversation Course Book and the Interactive Audio lessons. Nearly identical material is covered in nearly identical chapter organization. The Beginner's Book correlates with the Language and Cultures Sections in much the same way as above. I preview or review each learning chapter of Rocket Spanish with the corresponding book chapter.It reinforces the lessons in a different way. I have not found any correlation with the the Vocabulary Supplement, so I just complete a section every few lesson chapters.
