Been using Rocket for nearly 2 months and very happy with this product which recognizes all types of skillsets and whose systems reinforce the learning (retention). I'm weaker in pronunciation so the microphone set-up helps a lot and the flexibility helps me keep going with it. Growing in knowledge and confidence and it suits me 11%. All good, no suggestions for improvement or negatives.
I like the interactive part it really helps with memory. So far the voice recognition has been really annoying, maybe because im a perfectionist and when it wont record correctly I cant move on. Also I have not had any grammar lesson on conjugations. If i hadnt had a background in Spanish I think I would be a little lost by now.

Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Seccra - Please contact customer support around the voice recognition issue. I am sure that we can resolve that. Also, Level 1 (and the other higher levels) do have quite a few Language & Culture lessons on verb conjugations. Did you see those?
I'm an English second language teacher, and I support this method of learning. Sure, they don't offer live conversation but with a little bit of initiative and skype that's easy enough to arrange! For the price, the amount of material and the seamless intergration with the mobile app this is a great course. Now it's just up to you!

Just at the end of my first week and looking forward to continuing. Seems easy to follow but I can see that constant review of previous lessons is likely to be my path to success. Also, I can see where vocabulary recall may become a primary source of frustration for me. I'm pushing forward and hoping for a level of fluency to use in traveling within a year. Note: I have had no reason to contact customer service at this point.
Almost 2 months in, I've requested a refund. I hate this ridiculously juvenile course.
I hate this course so passionately. It's juvenile, stupid "silly" and so so SO annoying. I literally do not understand how any adult could do this course. I cannot stand the banter with Amy for another second. Does irritation, annoyance, and flat-out anger increase retention? If so maybe Rocket Spanish is on to something...but I want to shake the people leaving positive reviews and ask them what the WHAT is wrong with them. I beg you, do the free trial lesson of whatever level, and if you're annoyed with all the English stupidity, know that it does NOT get better. It does not decrease. It will only get worse. If you love Amy's voice, speaking in English, and want to listen to her kid around, this course is for you. OR...if you don't care about the audio lessons. I think buried in this course is some good content. And I know it's not meant to be audio-only. But the audio is THAT bad. Just don't do it. Maybe do it high or something. Might be tolerable. Probably not.
Response from Rocket Languages
Response from Rocket Languages: Thanks so much for your review. We're sorry to hear that you are not enjoying the tone of the Rocket Spanish lessons. We try to strike the right balance between fun lessons that aren't too silly/annoying or too dry/boring. It's not always to everyone's tastes, and of course, we don't get it right all the time. Rocket Spanish is usually pretty well-received by our learners, but we do appreciate all of the feedback that we get. We will pass your comments on to the Rocket Spanish team for their consideration. All the best with your language learning!
I signed up over 5 years ago and every time I have had any issues or just a simple question they have always been there. The lessons are spot on and learning Spanish, is Rocket fast!
Keep up the great customer service, Johnny B
The writing and recording features are very cool, and I like the audio clips for while I'm driving - I pair this with Pimsleur and find its a nice blend between textbook learning and audio learning thanks to the interactive lessons, plus being able to do it online is very helpful and gets my practice typing with the spanish keyboard.
I am very interested in learning to speak English, apart from that I love the language, I need to learn to speak it very well, I have read and seen many advertisements and recommendations and I am very excited to learn from you. Thank you for letting me be part of your big family.
Rocket Languages is a helpful learning site for kids to learn Spanish and is able to get the grades they need and use them in the future or in college. I believe that rocket language is helpful to all those who wish to learn a different language.
