What do You Know About Computer Language Learning?
Computer-assisted language learning (CALL), often known simply as computer language learning, is a form of computer-based assisted learning. The first thing to be said is that it is not a method, but a tool to facilitate learning - under whatever method is being used. Perhaps one of the most useful things about computer language learning is that it is student-centered and allows each user to progress at their own speed. Moreover, it can be programmed to be interactive and, as a result, individualized. Finally, it can form a stand-alone course, and be used on its own, or it can be used as a reinforcement of class learning. Read the rest of this entry »

How Rocket Spanish Helped My Friend John
I have a friend, John, who had traveled a few times to Spain, to a place on the east coast called Denia. After about five years of regular vacationing there, he’d fallen in love with the place. So, as soon as he took early retirement he decided to come over and get himself a place to live. He didn’t have any immediate family to worry about - his wife had died about 10 years before and they’d never had any children.
Like most Brits who come over here, he found a bungalow in a housing estate where the only residents were other Brits. It’s much easier, and you can get everything you need without having to speak a word of Spanish. Satellite TV beams over all your English programs - including his favorite football team’s matches. John couldn’t imagine living anywhere he couldn’t watch Liverpool on TV on a Saturday! Read the rest of this entry »
Use Your Computer to Learn a New Language
If you’re a computer-person, you’re in luck! There are a lot of multimedia programs that have been made for use on computers. Most of them combine flashcard-type visual lessons or video with the ability to practice speaking the language using your microphone. The great advantage of these programs is that they allow you to progress at your own pace - and in the comfort of your own home. They are also much more complete - and usually more fun - than the traditional book-based, or book- and cassette-based courses. Read the rest of this entry »
Rocket Spanish - Why I Recommend it
If you’re looking for a great course to learn Spanish, whether you’re a complete beginner or you’ve already reached a certain level, I recommend you try Rocket Spanish.
Rocket Spanish is a friendly, comfortable course, and because it contains lots of different components it’s a perfect match for most of the different ways different people study. There are plenty of CDs, so if you spend a lot of time in a car, they can be just terrific. It might look strange if someone sees you sitting in the car talking to yourself, but it definitely helps a lot to repeat things out loud over and over again. One of the things that are especially useful are the long pauses - they give you time to say things without feeling pressured. And you can choose which way round you use the dialogues. You can see the lesson in print and then listen to the audio to check the pronunciation and accent of the words, or you can listen and repeat first, and then see how the words are written.
