Easy gradual pace. Great feedback both verbal and written.
This is the first time I have tried to learn a foreign language. I count my self lucky! My first website was www.Rocketlanguages.com. The audio teachings by Mauricio and Amy are definitely great. They make a novice learner appreciates the pronunciation. I can now order coffee or tea in Madrid or Chile without sign language. Muchass gracias!
I wanted to give it a thorough testing before leaving a review and as I have just completed Level 1 (sort of) now is the perfect time.
The interactive audio lessons and survival kit lessons are a fantastic way to learn a language. Listening to the audio and not understanding it at all before the lesson and understanding it completely after the lesson is very rewarding.
The language recognition is inconsistent, although much improved. It works very will on Chrome using an ancient windows 7 laptop. It's pretty good on my phone (IOS). It's not so good on my new laptop, regardless of which browser I use.
The language and culture lessons were a big problem for me. By module 5 I was completely out of my depth. It was taking ages just to complete a lesson & I wasn't able to retain the content at all. It led to long periods of me "quitting" in frustration for weeks at a time. By module 7 I simply had to stop attempting them. I appreciate this may be exclusively my problem, I have very little formal education. I have recently purchased a number of very basic children's books and I hope that regular reading will help with my grammar and language. Perhaps one day I can revisit the lessons I struggled with or didn't attempt.
So far have been really impressed with the Rocket Spanish course. Have purchased the full pack (Level 1, 2 & 3) and have been very satisfied so far - far better value than other competitors. I hope the course will teach me Castilian Spanish (as I have just moved to mainland Spain) as well as South American Spanish...
yo creo este es la mejor forma a aprender espanol. Pero a caro para me. Willis

Hi Willis, thank you for leaving a review. It's awesome to hear that you are finding Rocket Languages the best way to learn Spanish. We're sorry to hear that the price point does not work for you, however, we do offer multiple payment options such as our 6-month payment plan to accommodate the needs of our users. All the best with your language-learning journey!
Big fan of Rocket Spanish! After gaining a 200+ day streak on Duolingo I still didn't feel comfortable speaking (probably because Duolingo focuses a lot less on speaking!) and felt the course progression was slow and incompatible with real life Spanish usage. I then tried an online personal tutor but felt it was very hard to keep up with speaking because my foundations were so weak. So I took a step back and found Rocket Spanish after searching on Google for more structured, speaking-focus lessons that mirrored real life. I'm only a few modules in but I'm SO happy with my purchase! I can learn at my own pace and I love the cultural context gained through the audio lessons. I can really hone my pronunciation as well following Mauricio's native narration.
Some suggestions: it would be great to get more ad hoc revision lessons that are tailored to my specific progress. I find I have to return to the quizzes/flashcards of individual lessons to review, which is fine but I have to go through lengthy exercises to review a few key concepts/vocab.

Hi Nicole, thank you for taking the time to write a review for Rocket Spanish. It's fantastic to hear that you find it helpful compared to other platforms and that you're enjoying the cultural aspects that we've worked hard to incorporate. Your suggestions have been passed along to our product development team, who are always eager to hear feedback from our users. If you're looking for a more ad-hoc test of your knowledge, we highly recommend trying out our "Rocket Certification" tests, which can be found in the "Tools" section. These tests provide a randomized selection of questions based on the module content. Keep up the incredible work, and happy learning!
I couldn't get into it as I am at a more advanced level and I could find much in my trial edition. I never signed up to pay because of that. I didn't use customer service and can't really say about the price and I don't remember what it was. I'm guessing it would be okay if I had seen that the program was helpful in the trial. It would help to have a more helpful trial version.

Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Mago - If you did sign up for a Level and found it was either too easy or too hard then we would gladly swap it free of charge to a more suitable one.
