Are you studying Spanish and need better resources to make your learning task easier? Do you want to earn more money at your job by being bilingual? Perhaps you simply want to learn for personal pleasure.   Whatever your reasons are, I’ve designed Rocket Spanish Premium with YOU in mind, so that you will get immensely satisfying results FAST. . .   Get Started Immediately, Try Rocket Spanish Now.   . . . I designed Rocket Spanish Premium to be the easiest to follow system for learning how to speak Spanish available. Rocket Spanish Premium is an interactive course that makes you wantto study. Also, it’s practical. You’ll discover exactly what to say in virtually all situations.   With Rocket Spanish Premium, you are going to learn Spanishrapidly, effectively, and easily. You are going to be able to speak at a restaurant, at an airport, with new friends… in basically every situation you can think of!   I am passionate about my native language, and for me it’s a privilege to be able to share it with you. It’s an incredible experience to be able to speak with others in a different language. You will be able to enter into a different culture, a different world! Being bilingual is a very special ability, and it’s a gift that we want to give to you.   So are you ready to get to know the secret of learning a new language? You’re looking right at it. I have put all of my experience and knowledge into this cutting-edge learning system on this website, Rocket Spanish Premium. I implore you to keep reading.   If you’ve ever heard that children can pick up a new language faster and easier than adults, forget it. This is a common misconception. In fact, scientific research has proven that the most difficult learning task for children and adults alike may be the attempt to acquire second language proficiency in school environments.   In fact, even more distressing is that research has shown that less than 5% of students studying a foreign language are able to endure the stressful nature of formal school training to continue studying the language for more than two years (Asher, 1982).   It is simply not true that young children learn a new language more easily and quickly than adults, however, children are exposed to a more brain-compatible learning environment for learning a language than adults are in schools. This is the reason why they learn languages faster.   Research has shown that it typically takes approximately 2 to 3 months of study at the foreign service institute for an adult to become proficient in a foreign language. Knowing that this is possible sparked me on my mission to create an interactive Spanish learning package that could allow regular people, like you, to speak Spanish confidently and naturally in less than 2 months!   If you want to. . .   feel more comfortable and confident around Spanish speaking people be able to read books, magazines and web sites written in Spanish be able to watch and understand Spanish movies be able to write to and email Spanish speaking people or you simply want to become exceptional at Spanish for any other reason.   You can do all these easily, and you dont have to spend $100’s on the Rosetta Stone products or any other expensive language learning product.

Interactive Agencies and Passive Mentalities

December 29th, 2009

Seems the interactive agency Big Spaceship thought it deserved more credit than the lead agency, BBDO, gave it.

We all know the MO of lead agencies—and by “lead agencies” I mean the brand agencies, traditional agencies, “big dumb agencies,” whatever you want to call them. Over ideas, money, credit, over everything. So it’s time for interactive agencies to step up. Start hiring idea people. It’s gotten to the point where interactive shops hire people who’ve spent much of their careers doing online work. Those people are in demand.

The idea people aren’t always still thinking in strictly old media—TV, print, etc. What interactive agencies and the hiring managers within them don’t realize is that most creative people in advertising don’t often control the media in which their ads appear. Which makes interactive agencies niche businesses. Marketers need it all—in all media. If interactive shops don’t expand their horizons, they’ll always be at the kids’ table in the corporate boardroom. In 3 or 4 years, an agency that only does interactive work will be as relevant as an agency that only does radio.

Interactive agencies take ideas and make them work—really work. The most sophisticated tactics won’t be effective if the idea isn’t compelling. Now, the same attitude exists in interactive agencies: If it isn’t digital, it doesn’t matter. That goes for interactive people, too. As long as traditional agencies want to claim the “idea is king,” interactive agencies will always be the king’s servants.

Learn How to Speak Chinese, the Easy and Affordable Way

October 22nd, 2009

No doubt you’ve found that there are just so many Chinese language courses online to choose from. Which one is best? While Rosetta Stone gets a lot of attention, it also costs a LOT of money: up to $690 just for Level 1 and 2 Chinese!

(In fact, if you’re going for the full course, you’ll spend $1,035!)

But you actually don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars to learn to speak Chinese fluently. In fact, you can learn it for under $100, either online or in a physical CD product, courtesy of Rocket Chinese. I think you’ll agree when you read the rest of this: it’s a wonderful way to learn and enjoy the beautiful Chinese language, whether for business, tourism, or simply added knowledge.

WHY I LIKE ROCKET CHINESE

This is by far the best online Chinese language course out there, and definitely the best value. I mean, only $99.95? That’s 90% less than the price of Rosetta Stone: Chinese! Yes, you read that correctly: Ninety percent!

And you’re not limited to one way of learning, either. E-books, interactive audio courses and games, and lots of bonus material: they’re all in this incredible language product. How can you go wrong?

I particularly enjoy the narrator, Ling Ping, who manages to take learning to speak Chinese from a daunting challenge (I mean, all those characters!) to an incredibly fun experience! No boring instructors, no monotonous lessons. Just genuine, practical education.

Ling Ping brings the right combination of serious, astute learning, and fun, bubbly enthusiasm–hardly what you might expect from a language instructor. She’ll make you laugh while truly polishing your Chinese with fun written and audio lessons, available anytime you have a Net connection (or the downloaded PDF lessons handy).

But more importantly, you’ll learn heaps–quickly. After all, there’s the 56-day satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not happy with what she’s taught you, the team at Rocket Chinese WILL, in fact, refund your money back. No questions asked (I checked!).

So what have you got to lose?

I also get all these bonuses with my purchase:

* 31 Audio Lessons (14 hours total!) ranging from from beginner through to advanced, with over 3,000 unique audio tracks built in,

* A comprehensive Learning Guide to help me along the way,

* The very helpful Mega Audio and Mega Vocabulary interactive learning games

* The weekly Members Only Newsletter series . It gave me loads of audio conversations and exercises I could download to my portable MP3 device. They’re sent straight to your in-box so that you can improve and master German on a daily basis (great for those who tend to forget to practice!),

* All of the audio tracks, taught by Ling Ping, available in easy MP3 format

And that’s just the start. Really, for $99.95, I couldn’t go wrong. Rocket Chinese really delivered on all levels.

And if you want the course in CD format, you’re still saving over 70% of what you’d pay for Rosetta Stone or similar programs, backed by the same 8-week satisfaction guarantee.

Like I said, you can’t go wrong. Can you see why I love it?

FINAL RATING

Think about it: Would you rather spend $345 just for LEVEL ONE Chinese with Rosetta Stone…or get EVERY LEVEL OF LEARNING for just $99.95 with Rocket Chinese?

The choice is yours, but if you are actually serious, it should be a simple one. If you’re serious about learning Chinese, without any risk and while having fun, this is the way to get there–with a no-risk, no-questions asked 55-day satisfaction guarantee that IS honored, no less.
