Rocket Languages Reviews

Today is my 100th consecutive day [I am on 13.1] I am so glad I purchased RS.
Take advantage of their free trial and see for yourself.
I researched a variety of Spanish learning options. I decided I needed a solid, well-thought-out program that would be my every single day go-to “class”. I get to read as I listen (visual learner) and then I do their Activities. Later I use many other inputs (podcasts, youtube, readers, duolingo story, children’s bible) with my interest (bees, surfing, running) being the guide and allow myself to hop around on a whim.
With the confidence I gained, I finally cooked up enough courage and began using ConversationExchange. This has led me to ‘just going for it’ with locals I think might be monolingual Sp speakers. My Sp is ‘not perfect’, but I can communicate and I am improving every day, and having fun!
Some highlights of RS for me: I can listen on my trail runs and biking, interesting hosts/topics, Activities (what you sow is what you reap), ‘pep-talk’ section, cogent, computer or phone, convenience. It forced me/allowed me to develop my listening/speaking at my own pace and comfort level. Hopefully next summer will be covid-safe to visit Costa Rica and I will have completed Level 3 (with lots of review also) and I will be even stronger with my Sp.

I have just started Rocket Spanish and I am happy with the "get started" lesson.

Very holistic and complete language program,I am extremely happy that the program can be accessed at anytime and the modules are always available without any time limit,outstanding value for money.
For my part I need to be more disciplined with my practice and application of skills learnt.

I studied with Rocket Italian for 18 months before taking a trip to Italy. Rocket's method of putting you on the spot to answer questions really helped, and I felt like I could think on my feet! My Italian wasn't perfect, but the lovely nonna who was our host spoke no English, and we were able to talk and even joke together!
A year later I returned to Italy without having studied or reviewed, and I feel like I did great. I'm certainly not fluent or quite conversational but I could ask questions and understand the answers, so I call that a win.
Now I'm on to Rocket Spanish! It very much has the same feel and format that I know I can be successful with. The host does come off a little more condescending than the Italian host did, but I'm only in module three and I'm already feeling confident about my Spanish. I do wish there was a Spain-focused version, as that is where I will be visiting.
I think it's such a great program, and I absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants to learn Spanish or Italian.

This review pertains to Rocket Spanish and the Android APP. The short version is I am very happy with the format and content. My rate of learning has increased significantly since I started using Rocket Spanish. I will discuss the pros below and the several cons that keep this from being a 5 star rating.
After using Doulingo daily for 2 years (almost no missed days!) I am able to read some Spanish and have a fairly good vocabulary but cannot understand spoken spanish or speak Spanish well at all. I knew I needed something more to take it to the next level. After much research I decided on Rocket Spanish.
The pros:
Right away I am speaking Spanish sentences.
I can “hear” Spanish better. This has been the most fun for me because I feel I can understand TV, radio, and regular people (to some extent) so much better.
I love the lesson format. Hear it, say it, write it, know it (memory recall), and then the flash cards. I love the flash cards. The test portion is weak. Not going say it is a con but its 5 easy questions that don’t change if you redo the test.
I get as much help as I want on correctly annunciating the words. This is huge. I love that I can spend as much time as I want on correctly saying the words.

I've only been using Rocket Language Spanish for two weeks and I feel comfortable having a conversation with a Spanish speaker. Another year from now I'm planning on being fluent by using Rocket Language Spanish

Very happy with course. I’m doing all of it on my phone so website doesn’t reflect my lessons progress.
If I had to mention any one thing that’s been disappointing, it would be that I wish there were more interactive audio. Language and culture sections are good, but I find it difficult to click through them. Practice is Essential!
Overall very please with what I’ve learned to date. Seriously considering buying into next part of course.
Great program!

The learning is okay, but for students I think it would be more fun for them if there were more game-like qualities. Not so much it turns into a video game, but just enough to make students have fun during it.

I tried Rosetta Stone, which I found hard to learn with. I tried Duolingo, which seemed easy at first, but then felt like I was just memorizing a bunch of phrases. I am now using Rocket Spanish and have finally found the right product. I appreciate how they concentrate on a limited number of words per lesson and have you really work with them to feel fairly confident before moving on to the next lesson and set of new words. I am only a few weeks into it but would recommend this program to anyone wanting to learn the basics of a new language.

I've used every language-learning product on the market, and Rocket is by far the biggest bang for my buck. The amount you can learn and internalize in a given amount of time is really quite astounding. You can spend years with some programs and never get up to the intermediate level. Rocket respects my time and delivers the language knowledge I need efficiently and effectively.
