Rocket Languages Reviews
Find out what actual users have to say about our courses through their Rocket Languages reviews.
Big fan of Rocket Spanish! After gaining a 200+ day streak on Duolingo I still didn't feel comfortable speaking (probably because Duolingo focuses a lot less on speaking!) and felt the course progression was slow and incompatible with real life Spanish usage. I then tried an online personal tutor but felt it was very hard to keep up with speaking because my foundations were so weak. So I took a step back and found Rocket Spanish after searching on Google for more structured, speaking-focus lessons that mirrored real life. I'm only a few modules in but I'm SO happy with my purchase! I can learn at my own pace and I love the cultural context gained through the audio lessons. I can really hone my pronunciation as well following Mauricio's native narration.
Some suggestions: it would be great to get more ad hoc revision lessons that are tailored to my specific progress. I find I have to return to the quizzes/flashcards of individual lessons to review, which is fine but I have to go through lengthy exercises to review a few key concepts/vocab.

Hi Nicole, thank you for taking the time to write a review for Rocket Spanish. It's fantastic to hear that you find it helpful compared to other platforms and that you're enjoying the cultural aspects that we've worked hard to incorporate.

ROCKET SPANISH IS VERY CLEAR AND PRECISE, REALLY EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND REAL FUN TO LEARN, I HAVE TRIED OTHER CDS BUT THIS ROCKET SPANISH IS BY FAR THE BEST ONE ON THE MARKET. A LOT OF EFFORT AND TIME HAS GONE INTO THIS PROGRAMME, REALLY PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMME
I am enjoying my attempts to learn Spanish although finding the time during a house move in recent weeks has been trying. However, now I am moved I shall be making a major drive to catch up with what I've already thought I've learnt and making progress with some new. The interactive nature of the learning experience is very effective and I feel I am making great progress in spite of my lack of time on the job.
So, I have finished all of level one of Rocket Spanish and am ready to write a review. Full disclosure. I had a good base of Spanish when starting this program so I was not a total beginner.
1. I loved the level one course.
2. The conversations with Mauricio and Amy were great.
3. The grammar lessons in the language and culture sections give important lessons on Spanish grammar. They are a little dry and can be difficult to get through, but it is grammar what do you expect?
4. The flashcards, hear it, write it, know it, and quiz at the end were all great reviews to make sure you remembered the new stuff. (Though a little monotonous).
5. The price I paid was well worth it. I bought all 3 levels and got a great deal through The MezzofantiGuild. If you look around the internet, you will find great discounts.
6. I really liked the fact that when you buy Rocket Language you get the course for life. Most other programs have a monthly fee and when you stop paying your access stops.
7. I have read some reviews that Amy is annoying. I did not find that to be the case in the level 1 course. I did do the first lesson in level 2 and Amy was a little annoying in that one so we shall see how that goes.
There are a lot of Spanish programs to choose from. I looked at a lot of reviews before deciding on Rocket Spanish and I am glad I chose this program to enhance my Spanish speaking.
The course has been good so far. There are good explanations about how the language works.
I like the way it focuses on the parts of a common conversation. Things that it could do better:
1. Make some games or reading lessons that you can do silently. Face it: a lot of us have time to study in places that we just don't want to be talking into a microphone.
2. Have your web app work with more than just Chrome.
Other than those two items, it is a great platform to learn a language on. I would recommend it over most others.
Rocket Spanish combines the best practices for language learning with interactive technology. The interactive conversation drills have given me confidence to quickly express myself knowing that both my grammar and pronunciation are correct. I recommend Rocket Spanish to anyone wishing to quickly learn conversational Spanish for Latin America.
I just started learning Spanish again after taking a 15-year break. I'm having fun and excited to keep learning. The program is easy to use and listening to the pronunciations is very helpful.
