Living Language Platinum Spanish Review
"Why I opted for another learning software"

Our Rating:
Living Language Platinum Spanish was the program I almost bought until I learned about Rocket Spanish, and in this review I will tell you why. The main reason is because RS offered far more value for money, and being a digital-type person with a Tablet and iPhone, it suited me better for home and on the go learning. There is also a free trial that enables you to test run the program before you buy, which Living Lanuguage didn't offer. Living Language Platinum Spanish looked good, and I was very tempted. It provides 3 books with 46 lessons, CDs, e-tutoring and access to an online community where experts and learners share tips and experiences. But RS had all this for almost $100 cheaper, coupled with a cultural starter pack as a bonus as well.There is also a Motivation Center where you can track your progress and pick up your certificates, which I think is an awesome idea for keeping users engaged and encouraging learning.
I read a lot of reviews too, and RS came out on top. Platinum Spanish
is a fairly new program and as such hasn't really been put through its paces enough to establish itself in
the market. I didn't get the physical books or CDs you get with Living Language, but you do get
PDFs and Mp3s which means I can play everything back on digital device and burn
and print out stuff if I need to. You can get a physical product version of RS, but it works out
more expensive, and I tend to transfer the lessons from my computer and put then on my Mp3 player for
use when jogging anyway. I can’t tell you I am fluent yet because I am still studying the course, and as we all know it takes years to master a language. But I have gotten to grips with the basics very quickly, and I give credit to the program for that.
Rocket Spanish Key Benefits
Conclusion
If you have a big budget and you like the idea
of physical books then you might opt for the Living Language Platinum. But for a tried and
tested program that is heavily focused on practical application, colloquialisms and culture, Rocket
Spanish is awesome value at $99.95. The program never bores due to the multi-faceted
learning approach, motivation through progress testing and certification, access to an online
learners' forum and qualified Spanish teachers. I recently took my first holiday to Spain where
I pleasingly managed to speak a little with locals. You can take a free trial by simply going to
the site.
