Easy gradual pace. Great feedback both verbal and written.
I love everything about this program, the explanation, the quiz, the voice recognition feature, I am super excited earning badges and gaining points, its very motivating, also it is very easy to navigate through the program. Definitely five stars!!!!
Rocket languages really gave me the tools to succeed in my new language. My husband had brought me another Spanish App, but Rocket Spanish I really enjoy much better, it is easy to remember. I highly recommend Rocket Languages to all my friends trying to learn a new language. Learning with this system felt practically effortless. I will try to purchase this App before it expires its Earlybird Sale.
I think RS is trying to do too much. Needs to be shorter. If you follow the lesson plans now, it takes 2-3 hours to fully complete a lesson. That’s too much for the average person. You might consider having stages of lessons - a shorter test section then another layer for those who have more time. Flash cards should note be 68. Maybe 20 of the most important, for example.
Love the narrative lessons, they are perfect.
I've used Rosetta Stone for Italian, but I much prefer the method employed by Rocket. I'm visiting friends in the Yucatan in a few months and I've already told them...Nada de inglés! Back to my lesson...
I first bought Rocket Spanish many years ago after a trip to Costa Rica and Guatemala. I had taken Spanish at my local college, but after the trip it was quite obvious that I needed lots of practice, and Rocket Spanish provided the means in a fun and entertaining way! Understanding the other person is the most difficult part for me, and the way RS is presented, with the conversations and explanations, is by far the best I have seen in any program.
As my Spanish level (and travels) advanced, I continued to use RS for review, and gladly bought the Advanced Level 2. I hope someday I'll be ready for Level 3!
Rocket Spanish was extremely well thought through in its development and gives plenty of practice in all areas of language learning. The explanations are clear, the speaking is easy to understand (oh, if only everyone would speak that clearly!!), and the cultural information is informative.
Oaxaca is my home for 5-6 months of every year, and I continue to use RS for learning and reviewing.
Thanks for such a great program, and yes, I have recommended it to friends and family.
I like how everything is "picked apart" so that it truly makes sense! Using 2 different voices is helpful, too.
The topics are useful, and start exactly where a newcomer would have to in a spanish-speaking country - greeting, giving and getting names, and ordering coffee!!
Out is very difficult to get the scoring of certain spoken words to work properly. Course 9.11 is the most frustrating Rocket Spanish lesson so far. In the"Hear it Say it" module, every single infinitive - conocer, poder, querer, etc- could not be scored 100% no matter how it was pronounced.

Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Bill - We will look into what's happening here.
I really enjoy the progressive and structural depth of each lesson--hearing a conversation, translating every word, repeating words and phrases, seeing the words written, having my pronunciation compared, flash cards--I can't imagine a better way of doing it!
I also love the daily scoring competition to stimulate a regular learning--I just want to keep extending my streak! It has been fun so far!
This program is broken up well and the lessons are well structured. Between speaking, writing, and the flash cards my memorization has been dramatically better than I expected it would be. I'm only a couple modules deep but I'm looking forward to continuing. The best advice I can give is: You get out of it what you put in. I myself have taken the vocabulary that I've learned from the modules and formed my own sentences and that application helps tremendously in conjuction with the lessons.
