Hola Amigos, My name is Peggy Wang.

I come from China, I bet there are not many Chinese people learning Spanish, because the language system is just so different from ours, that's why a good learning program is the key to Success.

Why I decided to learn Spanish? the reason is that I live in new York city and there are just so many Latinos live here. In addition "Me gustaria viajar muchisimo" and one day I'm going to travel to Spanish speaking countries.

So I just thought to myself, well this is a good investment to learn Spanish, then I started to search for the right way to begin with.

I contacted "class offerings"... there are not so many, but they are also expensive, they all cost several hundred dollars for a few sections and they do not offer the test run to see if you like their program or not. Plus you have to commute to attend the classes.

Then I started to search on the internet and finally I chose the Rocket Spanish Program. The good thing about it, "success" is free. You can learn when ever you want, where ever you want and how many times you want to repeat the lessons.

When I started I didn't even have confidence in myself to continue, and just thought why not, it is free. The program they offer is so good that only after six sessions I have already built up my confidence in learning Spanish, and I have already started talking to colleges speaking Spanish like a pro.

None of them believe that I've spent so little time learning that.

Once I built up my confidence I decided to continue to learn the language until I had a grasp of it as good as my second language English.

Now I finished the level one course and I cannot stop myself to continue and I'm completing level two courses and I can already watch some Spanish news and shows and gather the gist of the meanings.

After level one you can be a good Spanish speaking traveller but after level two you can sure talk like a pro.

Rocket Spanish it helps you learn fast and effectively, plus Mauricio, Amy and Carmen are just wonderful. All the conversations are so useful, their voices are great, the phrases are so good, that you learn tons of new vocabulary, expressions, grammar along with the conversations.

Once you learn one conversation you can multiply that by tons yourself. So do not hesitate, start now, act "ahora" and benefit "ahora".

Yes, my name is Rick Ogden. I am a professor of family medicine in Kansas City, Missouri at the Kansas City University of Medicine and Bio Sciences, and every year we take approximately 30 medical students to Guatemala to set up clinics in the rural villages and offer medical care to people who have no medical care available.

I wanted to learn Spanish better so that I could be a more effective mentor to the medical students and that I could relate more to the people who are patients in their own language and give them more comfort and ease during the physical examination portion.

I found the Rocket Languages Spanish module is very effective in helping me develop foundational language skills which will then allow me to communicate better with the patients we have on our international medical trip.

Thank you very much and I recommend highly this type of instruction and I find it to be very user friendly and I'm very glad that I signed up for it.

Thank you.

Hi, my name is Shannon Graham.

Rocket Spanish is a fun and easy way to learn Spanish. It only takes a few minutes out of the day, every day. It is so quick that you could use it during the summer to keep up with School.

I would recommend Rocket Spanish to anyone who is looking for a fast and easy way to learn Spanish. My mom sees me having fun with it, and she tries to listen in on the conversations. I have learned a lot from Rocket Spanish.

The biggest benefit I have gotten from Rocket Spanish is that I can talk to people in another language and be a translator for others. Lots of people are happy when they've got someone to translate for them. Others should expect to speak Spanish rather fluently. If it is students that are learning, they should expect to see really high grades in their Spanish class. If it is adults learning, it will be very easy to talk to Spanish speaking friends.

If you are taking a trip, you can get around easier; you will be able to ask for directions. If you started late, you could either do two lessons a day, or the downloadable choice makes it easy to take the lessons with you on your trip, with them on your MP3 player.

However you choose to use your Rocket Spanish, it will really suit you well.

Basically my wife and I have been travelling in Central America for several years, and after a lot of planning and consideration we decided to purchase some property in Costa Rica and plan to retire to our wee corner of paradise after a few years.

The need to learn Spanish is obvious. We did some research of all of the programs we could find, they range from the free online lessons that you can get, to the aggressively advertised ones seen on TV that our NASA and government agencies try to use, but something about Rocket Spanish kind of struck a cord and we returned over and over to that webpage. We tried the 6 free lessons and we took the plunge.

I purchased the complete CD Spanish one and two classes and I now enjoy listening to these as I commute everyday to and from my office. We are planning a trip in Christmas New Years to Costa Rica and I hope to be able to converse comfortably in both English and or Spanish with our friends and some of the local peoples.

So we really enjoy the Rocket Spanish.

Thank you.

Mick Walker

Dear Mauricio,

I've just got to tell you this ...I've just come home from an Iberian cruise that I took in Spain, Portugal and France. While we were in Vigo, Spain I asked directions to a cash machine, bought coffee and cola in Corte Ingles, bought t-shirts and skirts for my two daughters, and asked an assistant if they had a coat in a larger size. Out on the street I asked a local if she would take my photo (with one of my daughters) and went to a bar and ordered beers and cola.

When we finished that I asked to waiter where the public toilets were! At Christmas I couldn't speak a word. Thank you for giving me the confidence to try. Next year I'm going on a walking holiday in Valencia, Once again, thanks.

Success Story : Eduard Ivanco

“...now I would definitely survive in a Spanish speaking country with my Spanish where I plan to travel”

Eduard Ivanco

I would definitely recommend Rocket Spanish to anyone who wants to learn Spanish in easy and quick way. I started to learn Spanish three times in various course-classes but it did not work, I usually did not have time to attend them regularly. Once I bought the Rocket Spanish course it was up to me to decide when and where I want to study. The biggest advantage for me is possibility to listen to courses on my way to work, this way I have two hours everyday to improve my Spanish and you can listen toit over and over again until you master it perfectly.

Furthermore I can improve my vocabulary with Mega Spanish games which I found to be fun for me because it is easier to remember the word when you associate it with picture.

This course helped me a lot to understand my Spanish co-workers in my job - I am able to talk about our families, what are their hobbies and more, small talks with them is no problem for me anymore. And now I would definitely survive in a Spanish speaking country with my Spanish where I plan to travel.

Everybody who purchases the course can expect to gain audio lessons which they can use in everyday life situations, vocabulary which is easy to remember because of Mega Spanish games and grammar. This is not only on paper but also on audio lessons so you can learn grammar wherever and whenever it is most convenient for you. Thank you again for your course. It is worth every penny I paid for it, now I'd even think it was very cheap :-)

Best regards to all of you

Hello, my name is Raymon West. I just wanted to say that I would definitely recommend Rocket Spanish to other people, I love it, it's a great program. The benefits of it is that I've been listening to it in the car as I drive, playing the games and things and it's really helped me improve my Spanish skills, especially in the area of grammar. I had some rudimentary Spanish skills but I've discovered I wasn't speaking properly and this has really helped me improve my grammar.

I live in Texas... South Texas actually, so this is helpful in communicating with the Spanish speaking people that live in my area and I also travel to Mexico quite a bit and I enjoy speaking my enhanced Spanish there now, so I really appreciate it. If other people want to buy Rocket Spanish, I think that it would be a great purchase, I would highly recommend it, I've tried other Spanish programs and this one is definitely the best. So once again, thanks for a great product.

My name is Phyllis Bernius and I'm 66 years old.

Working with our Spanish Church they call me Felisa, here in Amarillo, TX. I can see why it is important that I quickly learn to speak, write, and understand the Spanish language. I ordered the Rocket Spanish Program because an Internet review site said it was the best program.

I like the style and way the lessons are presented, such as seeing the lesson in print and then listening to the audio to check the pronunciation and accent of the words. By using my Spanish with the Hispanic people we are able to understand each other more each time.

Several years ago I visited Ecuador. It was frustrating not to be able to speak with them in their language. I hope soon to be able to go to Guatemala, (my Spanish Pastor and family are from Guatemala) and I would like to be able to communicate with them and their family and friends while I'm there in their own language of Spanish. I want to express my appreciation to you for your help, support and Rocket Spanish.

Hi,

This is Dawn Moreno, and I just wanted to say that I bought the Rocket Spanish program a couple of months ago. I absolutely love it, it's the best program out there. I've used several other programs that were very difficult to understand, Rocket Spanish takes you from the very beginning and it's very comprehensive, it takes you to in my opinion to at least intermediate to advance level.

It's painless, easy to understand. My husband is Cuban and he couldn't believe how much better my Spanish speaking and understanding comprehension was after just a few weeks of using Rocket Spanish.

Where as other programs I have learned I just got so hung up on vocabulary that ... I just don't know... I got all bound up I just couldn't remember anything.

I really do like Rocket Spanish, I think it's very well priced, is well worth the money. I highly, highly recommend it.

Thank you and have a great day.

Success Story : Alisa Kline

“It was tons of fun and I learned enough Spanish to easily get me through a week's vacation in Saltillo and Real de Catorce, Mexico.”

Alisa Kline

Mauricio,

Your course is fantastic! I was not a Spanish speaker at all (despite living for years in Houston, Texas where Spanish is pretty commonly spoken). I downloaded your course on the Internet (it was recommended by an Internet review site) and put the lessons on my iPod. For about two months, I listened to the language lessons while I drove and I played the vocabulary game on my computer.

It was tons of fun and I learned enough Spanish to easily get me through a week's vacation in Saltillo and Real de Catorce, Mexico.

The lessons were perfect. On so many occasions, I would find myself in a situation and I was living out the contents of one of your lessons. I even negotiated the price of an antique painting in Saltillo. "No es barrato, es mui carro" (sorry if I butchered the spelling, I learned by listening), saved me $25, which put me part of the way towards recouping the cost of the lessons!

Your classes gave me the fluency and confidence to drive to Mexico and negotiate hotel reservations, restaurants, driving directions, and even some limited social situations. I cannot recommend the course more highly and I am now listening to all the lessons again to pick up smaller things that I didn't focus on my first time through.

Will you be offering a next level? I will be your first customer for Rocket Spanish level 2.

This photo is of me on my balcony in Real de Catorce, a partially inhabited ghost town high up in
the Sierra Madres. We had a blast and Rocket Spanish was a big part of making our vacation a huge
success.

Hola Mauricio, This is Delta Rosa.

I just wanted to tell you how much I have been enjoying Rocket Spanish. I searched bookstores and the Internet to the program to teach me to speak Spanish well enough to be able to teach the bible to the Spanish people who live near me. All of the other programs that I listen to were either confusing or the instructor talked so fast I couldn't begin to understand and repeat what they were saying.

Then I found Rocket Spanish, and I heard you speaking.

What a difference, I have learned so much and with such ease that I've surprised myself and my Spanish friends. I am able to read and make comments at a weekly Spanish group Bible study, and I'm able to understand most of the others comments as well. I can't thank you enough. Would I recommend it to others?... Yes! I have already recommended it to everyone I know who is trying to learn Spanish just like I am. I know of one of my friends who is ordering it this week. I've even encouraged my children, all nine of them and many of my grandchildren to get Rocket Spanish.

I visited Mexico once a long time ago, and some day I hope to go there again. This time I will be able to communicate with the people I meet without frustration. For now though, I am excited about joining my Spanish speaking friends in the Bible teaching work among the Spanish people right here on our own community. Anyone who purchases Rocket Spanish and who follows your directions will be able to learn to speak Spanish with greater ease thank with other programs that I've encountered. Young and old alike, although I am fifty five and very busy with family and work and voluntary work, Rocket Spanish is working great for me. Thanks for helping make my life long desire to learn Spanish come true.

Adios.

Hi,

This is Joseph Seward I want to leave a testimonial.

I live in Utah and work in California as a manager of a construction company, and I wanted to learn some Spanish so I could talk with a lot of Spanish speaking workers that we have here. I ordered Rocket Spanish about six months ago I've gone through all of the lessons.

I have a basic speaking knowledge right now of the language. I can carry on a basic conversation with the workers, I can meet someone new, I can ask them how they are, where they are from, I can shop at some of the local markets here, I can order in a restaurant. It is an excellent program, it is very simple it's very quick you can listen on your way to work, you can listen to it on your lunch hour, they are excellent, excellently constructed and they really give you a working knowledge of the language. I would highly recommend them to anyone else who is going on a trip to Mexico or just wants to be able communicate a little bit better.

It has truly helped me out on my job and I plan on going through them again and probably go through it three or four times. I really appreciate Rocket Spanish and I highly recommend it.

Thank you.

“Rocket Spanish is effective, because it includes several different tools that match different learning styles...”

Mark Taylor

Hello

This is Mark Taylor, and I am very pleased with the Rocket Spanish program.

I recommend it for anyone who is just getting started with learning Spanish, or for people like me who took Spanish in school years ago but never really learned to use it in real conversation.

Rocket Spanish is effective, because it includes several different tools that match different learning styles, and are useful in different situations. For example, the Conversation course best fits my natural learning style.

It is in the form of a document that I can read on the computer screen, and by clicking on Spanish words in the document I can hear them pronounced and practice repeating the pronunciation at my own pace.

The Interactive Course doesn't need a computer or a manual at all. The audio is perfect for using with an MP3 player while driving or exercising.

There are also flash cards to print and carry for those times when you have a few spare minutes to practice, and computer games for building vocabulary.

I used the Rocket Spanish program several times a week for about six months while I was preparing for a mission trip to Honduras. The main focus of the trip was to work on construction sites where I would be side-by-side with people who only spoke Spanish. Since reading and writing was not my primary concern for this trip, I spent most of my practice time listening and repeating with the Interactive Lessons.

Once I was in Honduras, I found that course had really improved my ability to listen to spoken Spanish and recognize the key words and phrases. Even when the speakers were using new vocabulary that was unfamiliar to me, I was able to gather enough from what I did understand to get the general meaning, and to add the new words to my vocabulary.

The real-world experience in Honduras worked just like the Interactive Lessons I had been using for practice.

So, whether you are interested in learning Spanish for your job, to communicate with neighbors, or if you are planning to travel to a Spanish speaking country, Rocket Spanish program is a great place to get started.

Success Story : Steve L. Bemis

“While a co-worker who bought a *competitors* series is still at square one, my Spanish has progressed to the point that I became the translator for our construction team...”

Steve L. Bemis

Hola Mauricio.

When our company began to do business in Chile, it became necessary for me to get serious about learning Spanish. I�d tried various courses and books in the past without getting very far. I researched all of the computer based teaching programs including all of the well known and more expensive and chose Rocket Spanish specifical because of the interactive conversational part of the course. The online/downloadable version is a great value.

While a co-worker who bought a *competitors* series is still at square one, my Spanish has progressed to the point that I became the translator for our construction team on a recent mission trip to Mexico. On that trip, I became friends with a Venezuelan man and was able (with a little help) to have a 45 minute conversation about our countries, homes and families. All this is before I have tackled the advanced part of the course.

The course is well designed and moves at a fast enough pace to hold the attention of a quick learner but allows as much time and as many repetitions as needed to allow anyone to understand each part. The written materials are a great support and cover the details and �dry� stuff while requiring a minimum of memorization. It still takes work to learn, but Rocket Spanish is far more interesting and user friendly than any other approach I�ve seen.

Especially helpful is the combination of South American pronunciation by Mauricio and English explanation by Amy. They do a great job of helping you understand the details of the conversation without getting unnecessarily bogged down in the grammar. The humor they add to the conversations really helps to keep the interest level high and the stress level low. The result is a lot more natural, like the way I learned English before the teachers got a hold of me.

Success Story : Mark Waddel

“Expect to learn quickly and without the stress of failure with the Rocket Spanish course.”

Mark Waddel

Hola, my name is Mark Waddell and I live in New Zealand with my partner from Chile.

When I met her last year, she already spoke English well, but I noticed that there were a lot of English idioms that she didn't understand at all. She would look at me blankly when I used to banter with her in 'double entendres' and I used to be the only one not laughing when a Chilean group would get together for a BBQ.

With us both being very busy in our jobs, the Spanish I was picking up was slow and full of slang, so, in January, I decided to go searching for a Spanish Language Program on the Internet.

I was really impressed by the service that Mauricio provided and I have to admit that with so much on offer on the internet I was skeptical at first. I tend to like learning something formally and so I though the style offered in Rocket Spanish would not suit me. I was so wrong! The lessons are so informal and relaxed that it is easy to pick up one or two words quickly and within a few weeks you realize that you are starting to understand the structure of the sentence in Spanish. After that you can get into the formal stuff that Rocket Spanish also offers as part of its package. The language games are cool too! I now can quickly get the general understanding of what people are saying in Spanish. I really didn't think that it would happen so quickly. I would highly recommend Rocket Spanish to anyone, because it offers so many ways to learn and it has a great online support. I am very happy that I went with the online option, because I could pick it up and put it down in my own time and not feel as though I was falling behind. Once, years ago, I joined a group to learn French, but felt as though I was the worst and slowest so I missed a session; well that was it then. I never went back and kissed goodbye to about $150. The experience stopped me from believing that I could learn another language. My girlfriend has been the impetus I needed to want to learn and Rocket Spanish has been the device to make it so. I now have another few hundred million people on the planet that I feel confident to converse with and that is an amazing gift.

Expect to learn quickly and without the stress of failure with the Rocket Spanish course.

I find myself dipping into and English- Spanish dictionary daily now to pick up new words.
Hasta luego!

“I am very grateful for all the support and extra's you offer. A rare thing in these days.”

Hola Mauricio,

I am having a great time with your course! Thank you so much for designing a program that forces one to think in Spanish and not just try to memorize words and/or phrases. I especially like how you have brought out lessons in grammar in a way that is usable immediately and not overwhelming. I never thought I would buy one but I'm looking at MP3 players just so I can have the audios with me when I'm out and I carry printouts with me to look over whenever I can.

I am very grateful for all the support and extra's you offer. A rare thing in these days.

This time next month I will be in Guatemala. I leave on the third. I'm anxious to speak with my friends there. It will be nice if we can speak more Spanish instead of "Spanglish"!

Again, muchas gracias.

“Please keep up the good work and thank you for such a quality product, it's better than what you've advertised on the website”

Huy Le

Hello, I just would like to extend my gratitude to you for offering me the continuation of the free lessons. I am so excited to have the opportunity to learn Spanish in the best way I thought, Rocket Spanish! I want you to know that I am very appreciative of the free lessons trial, and the way you teach in Rocket Spanish has made learning Spanish so fun and easy. English is non-native to me since I'm a Vietnamese so I had to learn it before in school when I came over to the United States and it was hard even though I was only a sixth Grader then and had to take English as a Second Language for three straight years,

but I found that the way you taught (even though I think the whole package will be a lot better when I have enough to buy it online) were so fun, easy, and best of all, the words stay in my brain for the last two weeks. I'm not sure what hidden method you've used for that powerful touch on my memory, but it worked so well that I've learned so much in the past two weeks with your free lessons than what my college professor taught me for two months (I quit the semester early because it was boring and I had difficulty keeping up with her pace and couldn't get any help in class).

In my case, I was hooked with your learning method from the free lessons I got off the website, however I couldn't yet afford $99 (even though I think it's worth at least $500) so I was bummed out when the free lessons ended. However you've started to offer me yet another free lesson and I was so impressed with it like other lessons before. So I'm now saving up the money, and hopefully by next month I will be able to purchase the download version and continue with what I like.

In writing this long email, I just want you to know what an awesome product this is. For me it's ranked number 1 out there because your method is just beyond belief, it got me memorize the words for so long, and your pronunciation were so clear and a piece of cake to follow. Please keep up the good work and thank you for such a quality product; it's better what you've advertised on the website.

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to learn Spanish the best way!

From the number 1 fan of your Rocket Spanish program.

My husband Tom and I both took Spanish in high school, but as we are both sixty, that was many years ago.

Five years ago, we started traveling to Lake Atitlan in Guatemala where English is not spoken very much. At first we were extremely limited in our communications. Then we started studying Rocket Spanish (we�re on Level Two) and have now reached a place where we can have conversations in Spanish and understand and read the language as well. Being able to listen over and over again to Spanish speakers has been invaluable in allowing us to understand what is being said.

The order in which the language is presented in the lessons has proved to give us the most useful words and phrases, which we find ourselves using daily. We would definitely recommend Rocket Spanish to anyone wanting to improve or develop their ability to speak and understand this language.

It is important for me to learn and understand Spanish. Our daughter in law from Spain, is teaching Spanish to our grandkids. I need to be able to understand them if the say something in Spanish rather than in English.

I can't tell you the number of CD's and Cassette's I have purchased over the years trying to learn Spanish. Basically it was listen and repeat, but sometimes the speaker spoke so quickly you couldn't understand what he was saying or there was no time to repeat the sentence before the next words were spoken.

Your program had text book to refer to, so I had decided to bite the bullet and pay the expense for a different Spanish course that had good reviews. I was checking the Internet for a better price when I came across Rocket Spanish.

First of all, I liked the fact that they give you free lessons whether you purchase their product or not. This gives you insight into their product. I did this and while again it was repeating words or sentences after a Spanish speaker and English speaker interpreted the words and explained the literal meaning in English. Both speakers went over the subject several times so you don't miss anything.

You have both the Audio and the text, next was the expense. You can download all the information or have the course sent to you. Reluctant to spend a lot of money and not totally sold on the product yet, I opted for the download.

I'm glad I chose this option, but either way you are getting a fantastic course. If you need to both hear and see course material, Rocket Spanish delivers. Need motivation at times? No problem, they send you a newsletter in your email with little less info to keep you going.

If you have any questions, there is a support group, I have contacted them already with a question and was promptly answered.

They have all kinds of methods for learning; whether is flashcards, games, Cd's or mp3's and a text book. Rocket Spanish provides style for anyone interested in learning a new language. I don't have to attend a school, I can go at my own pace, practice with my daughter in law, and review topics as needed.

My biggest benefit so far is the easy at which the lessons flow, you start off with the basics and go from there. There are always reviews from prior lessons so you don't forget the old lessons as you are learning something new.

So you can see that I'm exited to continue learning from Rocket Spanish and you will too. Try the free lessons if I didn't persuade you, you will gain enough information to have a conversation with a Spanish speaking person. You will impress yourself so much that you will want to get Rocket Spanish for yourself.

Good luck, Buena Suerte.

Success Story : Steven Vrancken

“...with Rocket Spanish you'll see that you are building slowly, slowly, step by step, your knowledge about Spanish, and that is very motivating...”

Hello, my name is Steven Vrancken, I live as a freelance artist in Belgium and I'm going to talk to you about Rocket Spanish.

Rocket Spanish is very easy quickly and fun way to learn Spanish. You have very fair and good price, lots of material, Rocket Spanish worked already for thousands of people so you got a lot of audio files you got pdf file, there is a nice member's site, you got an interactive computer game.

Everything is very clear and simple, easy to follow steps, very nice and easy program. So you got really everything to learn Spanish in an easy fun and quickly way.

The benefits I got from Rocket Spanish... I got two main benefits; the first one is that Rocket Spanish let me learn Spanish at my own pace. I live as a freelance artist so I don't have a lot of free evenings and specially, normally you would follow a Spanish class every Monday evening or every Wednesday evening in a class, but I cannot do this, so Rocket Spanish lets you or gives you the possibility to learn Spanish whenever you want, and that is wonderful.

You got a manual, instructions, audio files you can listen to the audio files in the car, while you are doing dishes, while you are walking to the shop. That is so very easy.

The second main benefit is that it's a very easy and quickly way to learn Spanish. Five years ago when I studied at the University I started also a Spanish course but it was hell, it was such a "Manual", the classes were very formal, it was not fun, it was horrible is was not a nice experience and after 4 weeks i quick the class because it was not motivating.

But when you learn with Rocket Spanish you'll see that you are building slowly, slowly, step by step, your knowledge about Spanish, and that is very motivating, to learn Spanish.

So, if you start with Rocket Spanish, what can you expect? Looks at all the testimonials on this page, listen and see the audio testimonials, the video testimonials; you will see people are as me, happy with Rocket Spanish. You can expect three things, a fun easy and quickly way to learn Spanish, that is Rocket Spanish.

Good luck and hasta la proxima.

“It's a very, very good course I can really, really recommend it, even if your native language is not English”

Hello I'm Geja Rijsman, I'm from the Netherlands and my native language is Dutch.

With Rocket Spanish I learned Spanish, so I had to translate from English to Spanish, but that's not a problem.

The Rocket Spanish Interactive Course is very, very helpful so I can really recommend it.

How do I work? Well, I listen to the Ipod at least once a day, I listen to the course once, twice, three times, depending on how much I already know about the subject, and about the difficulties in the lesson.

Then I also read the transcripts and I used the grammar books which are given with the course, they are very helpful as well because you need to learn some of the rules.

It's a very, very good course I can really, really recommend it, even if your native language is not English.

It's Thumbs up to Rocket Spanish!.

“I have checked out other Spanish teaching programs that don't break it down to understand as well as your program does!”

Thank you for your easy to learn format to pick up Spanish faster. I work with children and I do get some that come into my class only speaking Spanish with little or no understanding of English. I have checked out other Spanish teaching programs that don't break it down to understand as well as your program does!

Keep making more! Maybe a level 3 or 4 in the future?!

“The pronunciation of Amy and Mauricio's conversations were very easy and clear to listen”

Mohammad Reza Rifai

Dear Rocket Spanish Team,

Thanks a lot for helping me understand Spanish without feeling bored. The words are very easy to understand and not like the others, without MP3 or Mp4 samples.

Thank God, this site has helped me to improve my Spanish and share it with my friends who want to do the same thing like I've done.

The pronunciation of Amy and Mauricio's conversations were very easy and clear to listen, whereas others where not like this. Before I got to Rocket Spanish, I had visited many other websites of Spanish language.

Once again, muchas gracias Rocket Spanish.

Hasta la proxima!

My name is Pamela Fanchers and I wanted to call and just express my complete satisfaction with your program.

I started out, several years back, wanting to learn Spanish - I live in Texas and of course you know, it's quite a Hispanic population, and continuing to grow.

So, I started out with one of your competitors - I'm sure you know who it is - and I spent quite a large sum of money doing that, and I can tell you honestly, I got nowhere with the program. So I went on the internet and I googled to find out the best Spanish programs out there and yours was listed, so I thought "Well, shoot, what the heck. I have nothing to lose and I really, really want to learn Spanish"; went on, got your free lessons and have been hooked ever since.

I think the thing about it is I enjoy the conversation. Amy does a great job narrating - I'm very much in the beginning stages of it - she really does a good job of the narration. Mauricio does a great job of the Spanish piece of it. I just am really, really learning and enjoying it. It's a little slow for me; some things I seem to pick up quicker than others. I make myself flashcards to continue to go over the lessons. Enjoy the games. I just can't say enough about how much I'm learning and how much I'm really enjoying the whole rocket Spanish program.

I am going to continue to go through all the levels and anything else that's offered.

Thank you! Hasta luego!

I'm Susan Davies from Canada and I recently purchased a resort in the Dominican Republic.

I realized after the first week that I really needed to speak Spanish. So I tried books and a couple of CDs and I really wasn't doing much conversing or understanding, so I thought 'Well what can be done?' So I checked out a few of the programs that were available and yours was the highest recommendation of the group, so I ordered it in and I've been working with it ever since.

I'm enjoying it immensely. It's helping me to be able to understand the workmen that are working on my project, and the name for the words that normally I wouldn't use like: plumbing and showering and things like that.

So, it's just a very fun course, my grandchildren are practicing with me, because they are enjoying the foldouts and the questionnaires, and it's really turned into a fun project. It's really given me a way to work with the Dominican people, who are very lovely, and also it's helping my French with the Haitians people who speak a mixture of French and Spanish.

It's very fun, beneficial and I'm enjoying it very much and it's very necessary for me to learn and to know it.

I thank you very much for the creative way you put the project together and its helping me with my new venture immensely. Thank you very much.

Denny Van Deman

This is Denny Van Deman.

I was delighted to received my copy of Rocket Spanish and get started learning a new language. The Mega Audio and video are an specially fun way to learn Spanish. My main reason for wanting to learn Spanish is that my daughter is married to a Nicaraguan and when I visit Nicaragua I want to be able to converse with his family and friends.

I have been practicing what I have learned with the Spanish speaking people in my community. From the conversation interviews, to the chapter by chapter instruction, I have really begun to learn this new language.

I would highly recommend Rocket Spanish to anyone who wants to learn the language. It is a fun and informative way to learn.

Thank you.

Success Story : Deborah Kolb

“I was amazed when I first downloaded the program, how much is actually included”

Deborah Kolb

Hello, I'm Deborah Kolb.

I am planning a trip to South America next year and was looking for a good Spanish course, something easy to follow which addresses actual life situations that I will be encountering on my travels.

Rocket Spanish has given me all that and more.

I was amazed when I first downloaded the program, how much is actually included: interactive audio lessons with scripts to follow along, a complete grammar book of over 200 pages and audio lessons of the complete book, 10 bonus audio lessons, additional grammar and vocabulary and games and flash cards..WOW

I love the interactive lessons. I listen to the recording and repeat the phrases and there's even a script to follow along. The first part of each lesson has English translations which allow me to understand what is being said. Once I feel proficient, I then go to the review lesson, which allows me to listen to just the Spanish, without the English. Right from the beginning I am hearing and speaking Spanish in situations which I am sure I will encounter as I travel through South America.

The biggest benefit for me of learning with Rocket Spanish is that I can study at home at my own pace and on my own schedule. I did try a weekly Spanish class for eight weeks and while that was helpful, for the amount of time I spent, I didn't learn that much. I've made more progress with Rocket Spanish. After only two weeks I have already covered what we covered in eight weeks in my other class. Rocket Spanish is just much better value for me.

One of the things I also really like is that Rocket Spanish emails me weekly with little updates and tips. That's just an added bonus. I am really confident that this course will make my trip so much better because I will be able to understand and speak to the people.

Good value!

I bought Rocket Spanish three and a half months ago after researching courses on the Internet. I chose it because it was a well rounded course with lots of content at a very good price. I just finished it last night and I definitely recommend this course to others. I was a beginner with only a few words of Spanish and quickly was given some key words and phrases to work with.

The course moved along at a satisfying pace and provided lots of reinforcement and review in a natural conversational way.

My husband who has studied Spanish before eventually joined me for some of the lessons. And we found the course worked well for both our levels and learning styles.

The audio lessons are thorough, well organized and enjoyable, I like listening to the audio, guessing at the new meaning of phrases and repeating sentences after Mauricio, with my best attempt at good Spanish pronunciation. Next I would read through the conversation and grammar section of the manual, the written exercises in the manual and sent by email were also helpful in reinforcing the content.

My husband spent more time memorizing conjugating verbs, doing reflexive, details of grammar, etc... I didn't memorize as much because it was just too much new content for me, but I was still able to go through all 30 lessons with increasing confidence and satisfaction.

Because of the way the course continued to build, review and reinforce the content. I've gone from having virtually no Spanish, to having a basic understanding of the language.

Because it's all so new I need to listen, listen, listen, so I can begin to express myself better. The phrases I need don't always come to my mind yet, because it is all too new, so I plan to burn the lessons on CD and listen to them on the car. I also purchased Rocket Spanish II and look forward to continuing my studies.

I think the biggest benefit of this course is that it made learning enjoyable, the audios are a pleasure to listen to and my husband an I were able to use the manuals in different ways to suit our different learning levels and learning styles.

Hi My name is Petra Stark.

I recently graduated from the college of William Mary, last semester I had to take some intensive Spanish classes and I needed to get up to speed really fast and I'm not that good at languages and William Mary it's pretty tough. So, I asked last Christmas my parents for, actually I asked them for **Competitor**, but my mum did a lot of research, which she is really good at and I ended up with Rocket Spanish instead.

So at Christmas I got a big box with my Rocket Spanish sign on, two big binders with the printed lessons, all the burned CD's and I was in business. I started exactly on the Christmas holiday going through them and I was really thrilled.

Rocket Spanish is really so friendly and comfortable and it was a perfect match for the way that I study, I guess the way that I learn. I was doing a lot of driving between school and my parent's house and my boyfriend and I spent a lot of time in the car and those CD's in the car were just terrific. It probably looks strange to outsiders when I'm speaking to myself in the car, but it really, really truly helps to say out loud and over and over again. I especially liked the long pauses in the lessons so I can practice out loud. I also like the emails that I get with the little tips on grammar and phrases and cultural explanations, they are good little diversion between the real lessons. Traveling, recently, this last year I went to Costa Rica and Panama in one trip, and I just got back from Thailand and I'm going to China this fall. The thing about the traveling in Costa Rica and Panama is that I wasn't afraid, I could just start to talk, I had my background of base verbs and conjugations, I knew some phrases, it was just a great building block that I could just jump in and start to talk. So I can say the greatest single thing about Rocket Spanish is that I'm not afraid to start speaking anymore and that's not just in Spanish, when I was in Thailand, I know Cero Thai but because I had the confidence from Rocket Spanish I was just doing the best I could in Thai and getting by speaking. Nothing bad ever happened and only good things happened when you just start speaking to people, they always been respondent, really helpful and kind. So I want to thank you for your program, Thank you for the Mp3 offer that little push made me do what I should have done before, which is to tell you what terrific program you have and I would recommend it to anyone and very, very grateful for the opportunity.

So.. gracias y hasta luego, this is Petra Stark. Thank you, Bye.

My name is Andrea Williams.

I think Rocket Spanish is a fabulous program.

I've had been considering learning Spanish for a number of years but really never made the effort to do that, until I found myself with two friends from South America and suddenly to actually converse with them in Spanish in a regular basis and while I'm still in the learning stage.

It's been a lot of fun being able to, you know, at least greet my friends in Spanish and say a few things to them and I'm hoping it will also help me in my job down the road.

But I think it's fabulous and just looking forward to getting fluent. Thank you.
