A Few Questions

I have a few requests, and I was wondering if anyone could help me out. (1) I am working through Rocket Spanish (levels 1 and 2) in parallel with Rosetta Stone (Latin American version 3, levels 1-3). Rocket is an awesome course, btw. Very pragmatic. What other products would people recommend for me after I finish? Learning Spanish Like Crazy? Any others? (2) Is it possible to get an electronic copy of the free spanish lessons on the site (not the free 6-lesson mini-course but the links on the left of the main page of the Rocket Spanish site) sent to me or made available to everyone? It would take a long time to save each HTML document to my hard drive. Not all of the info appears in the course as far as I can tell. Also, it is presented in a different format. Por favor? (3) Are the English translations of the Spanish stories in the Vocab Supplement available? Those would be VERY helpful. Por favor? Thanks, Bret

Hi Brett, After Rocket Spanish, I have used Platiquemos and am quite pleased with my progress. The audio quality is not quite up to the same standard as Rocket Spanish, but the audio exercises will really get your Spanish mind going. I usually have to listen and work through each CD at least half a dozen times before moving on, trying to attain 100% accuracy on the exercises. You can buy the course in portions also, so you can see if you like it before going all in. I have the whole course, and am currently working through Level V, and I like it, but it gets intense and is not for someone who's not really serious. And I do believe having Rocket Spanish first was a big help. Randy

I'm checking out the Platiquemos site now. Looks pretty comprehensive. The FSI courses but revised. I saw that Learning Spanish Like Crazy has a package deal available that includes the FSI courses in addition to the LSLC stuff. That might be a way to go too.
