I think conceptually, it's great. The progression of language makes a lot of sense to me and feels natural. A few critiques: it is very geared toward traveling to South America as a tourist or for work or something, so if you're learning Spanish for any other reason, this doesn't give you a lot of the vocabulary that would probably be useful. Also, though the concept is great, there are still a lot of kinks that need to be worked out so that it actually functions properly. Things are often misspelled, especially in the later lessons. If there are multiple ways to say the same thing, there is almost no indication which way they expect you to use, and you get docked if you say the one other than expected. Also, the software has a really hard time picking up what you're saying, so you can pronounce things the exact same way, and one time it's correct and the next time it's incorrect because the software just isn't good at understanding verbal language. So overall, really good product, I just wish they had spent a little more time developing it and working out the bugs before rolling it out.

Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Kristen - Thanks for the feedback. We are halfway through rewriting Rocket Spanish (Level 1 was re-released a couple of months ago). We hope to have the new Level 2 up soon. As far as the voice recognition goes, for the best results we recommend a headset microphone otherwise the system can have difficulty with short words/phrases in particular.

I hope that you retain the older type flashcards. I use them frequently to check on my knowledge of irregular preterite verbs, among other things.

Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Walter - Yes, the custom flashcards will be in the 2021 Edition soon!

I initially tried rocket Spanish using my iPad because my laptop was not working properly. I found my headphones would not work and I was very disappointed and thought it was the course design . After receiving a new laptop I tried Rocket Spanish again and so happy I did ! I was able to use what I learned during the trial period on my last trip to Mexico, I’m so excited to learn more! I have tried other online language courses and did not find them nearly as effective as Rocket Spanish...I love it❤️

It's good so far, but I don't like being forced to write reviews to continue.

The lessons are far too long. I like to finish a lesson in one sitting but they are so long, it's impossible. I groan when I see the flashcards with 70 entries. There is no sense of accomplishment. I tend to avoid starting lessons because it seems like drudgery trying to get through them and that isn't a good way to learn. So yes , I am disappointed in my purchase. I had high hopes . I had previously done the 'Spanish with Paul' lessons. They had they're shortcomings too but I felt the lessons were a better length and I stuck with them and learned a lot more.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Rick, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that you are finding the lessons too long. Here at Rocket Languages we want to ensure that all our linguistic content is comprehensive and in-depth, but we are also aware that motivation and a sense of accomplishment is critical to learning. As such, your suggestion regarding the flashcards has been passed on to our Product Development team. In the meantime, you might have a better experience with our more interactive reinforcement activities like "Hear It! Say It!" All the best with your Spanish language learning!

The program helped me to understand basics of Spanish language. I'm now able to build on what I have learned so far.

I recommend it for everyone who wishes to learn the language or those who wants to advance their knowledge.

Not too far into the program yet, but I am already loving it. The program goes at a stress-free pace and provides many different learning tools for all styles of learners. I complete a lesson daily and have thoroughly enjoyed each one thus far.

I am really enjoying hearing both male and female speakers in the audio. I think the pronunciation is slow enough that I can hear each aspect of the word.The reinforcement activities are very helpful to me as well. Gracias!

There 5 ways to rate Rocket Languages. The last on is "How was the Customer Service?" There isn't a "not applicable" option. That would be my response! There has never been a need for customer service with in the 3 years or so I have been using these programs. My only request is to shorten the introductions to the lessons. Or maybe only eliminate them all together.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Deborah, thank you for leaving a review. We appreciate our users taking the time to give us feedback. I have passed your suggestion concerning the lesson introductions to the Product Development team to consider when they update the course. All the best with your Spanish language journey!
