Learning Spanish With a Language Learning Software Can be Easy When You Do Your Research!

By Ryan Thomas


Learning Spanish can be difficult and there are many challenges that you can face as your strive to learn this language as a second language. The most challenging part of learning Spanish is learning how to conjugate the hundreds of regular and irregular verbs into their various tenses. To make the conjugations even tougher, you have to understand which subject or reflexive pronouns are used in the sentence. There are various rules that you can use to make the overall conjugation process easier.

There are two different tenses of subject pronouns, these are singular and plural tenses. The singular tense has three different forms that you will use to conjugate each verb specifically. These forms are yo, tu, and el or ella. The (yo) form refers to (I), the (tu) form refers to (you), the (el or ella) forms refer to (he and she). The plural tense also has three forms and only two of those forms are used on a regular basis. These forms are nosotros and ellos or ellas or Uds. The "nosotros" refers to "we" and the second three variations refer to "they". This may seem complicated to begin with but in time it will all become straight forward and very easy to understand and implement.

These rules are the foundation to learning Spanish! Unfortunately, you are not going to be able to learn Spanish with these rules alone. You are going to need addition learning help! With that said, one of the best ways to learn Spanish is with a language learning software program. There are many reasons to why these programs are great learning aids and one of these is because these programs are constantly being updated and modified in order to provide you with the best learning experience possible. There are lots of these programs that you can choose from and you need to identify how you learn best in order to choose a program that focuses on teaching in a way that accentuates your learning strengths.

For instance, if you are an audio learner and you enjoy playing games then you may be interested in Rocket Spanish. Rocket Spanish focuses on teaching you Spanish through audio lessons and through software games. Their course is primarily an audio package and the games are an added bonus that allows you to challenge yourself based on what you previously learned in an audio lesson the course offers.

When it comes to language learning software programs, most people conjure up an image of the well known Rosetta Stone company. Rosetta Stone focuses on teaching their students a language in the same method that you learned your native language. Basically, how a baby learns to talk. This means that you will have very few if any English comparisons to relate too. For the most part, Rosetta Stone uses pictures to teach its students. You are shown a picture and given the meaning or explanation of that picture in the language you are trying to learn. By using this methodology, you will be able to associate words with objects and over time you will be able to develop those words into sentences and conversations. A lot of people really enjoy this teaching method but it lacks a lot of language depth.

Tell Me More Languages is another language learning software and this software program focuses on teaching its students through a variety of teaching methods. You will get English comparisons and you will have several tools at your disposal. These learning tools will help you keep track of your progress, allow you to perfect your pronunciation, and inform you of areas in which you are weak so that you can strengthen those areas. This software program comes in ten different levels and also has two additional business levels for business professions. Levels one and two are for beginners and after that you need to have an intermediate to advanced understanding of the language. The major benefits to learning with this software program is that it has the tools to help you learn a language to the point of fluency.

Learning a language is a challenging endeavor and you should only purchase a language learning software after you have done lots of your own research to determine which software program is right for you. There is no one-for-all solution here and by understanding that you will save yourself a lot of headaches in the future.
