I think Rocket Languages gives you everything that you need to use as a foreign language learner. Input and output are important to understanding language and being able to produce it, respectively. The lessons are EXTENSIVE, which is great for a beginner who needs all the output and input possible. I'm starting to find the lessons too long; not the recordings, but the entire lessons. This may be because I have just started trying to focus more on my input (reading, listening, and doing both simultaneously), so there are parts of the lessons that make me spend more time than I'd like.

I already get output practice with a tutor two times a week (2 hrs) and with my sentence mines from Anki every day. That being said, Rocket Languages gives you a WHOLE LOT OF USEFUL sentences and phrases to remember (if you choose to remember them); they can be mined in a spaced repetition deck like Anki, Quizlet, or whatever.

All-in-all, Rocket Languages seems to give you the most comprehensive method for improving your language skills ESPECIALLY for the price! So the value is top-notch!

I'd just recommend supplementing your teachings here with your own sentence mines in a spaced repetition system like ANKI and weekly tutoring from a live, native speaker in your target language.

I highly recommend this program. It ingeniously utilizes audio, text, and quizzes to maximize your learning. Unlike other programs, it is designed for the human learning curve and teaches you the language that is ACTUALLY spoken rather than in theory correct. I am learning German and Spanish and I was surprised that Rocket Languages doesn't have a cookie-cutter approach like so many other programs do - the courses are drastically DIFFERENT! That's good because languages ARE different, and a cookie-cutter approach simply won't teach you anything. I feel closer to a native speaker now, with knowledge of not only the everyday version of the language, but also of the cultures. I've already recommend this program to two of my best friends, my aunt and my piano teacher, for French (did trials, but I have priorities), German and Spanish. Seriously, for this price ($100) it's a steal. Wait for post-registration sales (7 days usually, for $90 and free vocab cards), or Black Friday/Cyber Monday ($70, no vocab cards). But if you can't wait just by it at $100. You'll be happy.

So this is my third attempt (from different angles) at Spanish. I tried first a podcast (not enough repetition, nothing to read, no motivation to practice, no native speakers), I have been at an in person course (highly motivating, but all at the same pace), and now this.
I like a lot the native speakers, the speed of speech, and the repetition in various learning modes. The voice recognition works better than babble (which I briefly tried as well) but still stumbles sometimes. Good thing - rocket does not make this an issue, I can just progress over it.
I much appreciated the possibility first to try whether this format motivates me - before paying. As a German learner, I am ok with the strong US focus (likely the largest market): I'd love if you considered that there are learners with a different language background and learning experience as well. Like comparing Spanish with French or German.

I have been studying with Rocket Spanish for several months. I really appreciate the variety of exercises and the fact that I can work repeat lessons at any time. Hearing the language has substantially helped my pronunciation of Spanish. The listening and writing and helped me better understand what is being said. It's a really good program!

I love it! Makes learning a language fun and enjoyable. I was very hesitante to go with the program. But found it to be better than Rosetta stone and others out there. Not only are you able to learn new language, but you are able to pratice them in different ways. Each section has games, quizzes, spelling tests, speaking tests and more than enable you to learn the language. And you can do it at your own pace. Plus since you can get an online version it can be done from anywhere you can get internet!

I love the pace and the challenge that comes from speaking with an accent. Rocket feels more interactive and engaging than even some of the in person classes I've taken over the years. This time I feel I am learning the language, not just repeating information presented.

It is challenging, but fun. The material is easy to learn and retain, and it also keep my interest. I love thew corrections by the native speakers and I also enjoy being able to offer my corrections to those learning English. I took advantage of a great sale to buy all three units and I'm glad I did!

If you’re planning to travel, I can see that it would be helpful to carry a conversation. I think the testing is a good idea. I like the Flashcards. However, this program just doesn’t meet my learning needs.

Response from Rocket Languages

Response from Rocket Languages: All reviews are genuine. The only ones we don't publish are ones that are offensive, and/or are not actual reviews. And with this one it's arguable :)
