The beginner's course is good. The intermediate course is ok; but, not as good as the beginner's course. The Platinum (advanced course) is poorly done. In the Platinum course, the presentation is sloppy and there is very little interaction or practice time.
The course has the right mix of written play and spoken. The spoken lessons are fun
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.
best I've ever used. I'm just starting and the way Rocket teaches i can really hear my Spanish getting better after ever level. plus the fact that i'm pretty busy lets me come back again and again for review
After trying several Spanish courses in the past without much success, I tried Rocket Spanish. It proved to be the course that helped me the most. I especially like the hear it-say it feature. This is really good for someone with a hearing problems. They can hear what they are saying
and see if it is close to what it should be. The price is very reasonable.
Finding Rocket Spanish to be a very good course just need to keep practicing.
So far, I'm not happy with the way the Spanish course is taught. Lesson 1.7 was hard and seemed out of place. It seems we should have learned numbers, months, and other things first. The voice recognition doesn't seem to work. It will record my voice sometimes but has yet to tell me if I am speaking correctly or not. It only plays back my own voice, but nothing more. Sometimes the voices used by your staff are hard to understand or are speaking too fast for beginners. I'm going to keep trying, but so far, not much is sticking.

That should not be happening with the voice recognition. Check your inbox; let's hop on a call and get it sorted!
The course is expanding my experience and and broadening my vocabulary. Understanding word and sentence structure as it is to be used correctly in conversation. It is very good instruction.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you for your review. We are so glad to hear that the course is helping you expand your Spanish vocabulary and understand different aspects of the language. We wish you all the best for the rest of the course!
I have enjoyed Rocket Spanish. The lessons are excellent to listen to and I feel like I am understanding the Spanish language much better.
Rocket Spanish has been a good investment to help me learn Spanish.
this is my first time using a learning language software but i can say that i'm quiet satisfied with Rocket Language and the huge resources they provide. It's easy and fun to learn with the system provided. Flash cards is a big plus for everyone tried to learn vocabulary in an old fashion way. i'm taking the Spanish course and i can say that it's amazing; i especially love the culture lessons which help me understand not only the language but also the country every day life aspect. I'm considering purchase a Japanese course after this. Glad that i've discovered this wonderful product!
