The online Spanish Course is exactly what I was looking for and the price was easily affordable. I will turn 73 this year and one time through the materials is never enough for me but I am able to repeat each exercise several times until I can complete it flawlessly. The record-it application is very smart and has been a tremendous help in improving my pronunciation, the intonation and phrasing of short sentences. I am part way through the first module but I am looking forward to the grammar and survival lessons. I believe I could be ready for Mandarin in a couple of years. This is my first attempt at learning a second language to my native American Mid-West English.
This is an amazing course, I highly recommend it to anyone who has trouble getting motivated to speak out loud.
I LOVE Rocket Languages! The format makes it so easy to learn! I started learning Spanish in first grade. Then we moved and I couldn't find a Spanish teacher. I am so glad I heard about this website! I can hardly wait to start another language!
I have been working with the free trial for over a month, and even using it every day, there was a lot of free material given to really get a "feel" for the course. I have fallen in love with it, and just purchased the Premium Package today. For me, speaking and understanding are my weakest points, and in my opinion, this is where Rocket Language outshines every other program. Those "live" role-playing exercises are intense, and really give me a rush when I can successfully get through even the level one part of the conversation.
My only issue is having to use Chrome, I was on Chrome when I tried to purchase the package, and it kept screwing up my information, I finally had to go over to Safari and purchase it there, then go through switching the program to Chrome - it was irritating.
However, that is a minor complaint concerning the purchase and log-in process and has nothing to do with the amazing content Rocket has to offer.
Also, I have to add, while I was having hassles with the login, I called customer support and they are absolutely amazing! No robots, I got to a real person right away who fixed the issue immediately, was nice and funny and very friendly.
No customer service line, no prompt response to messages. Write it section should be expanded. No mention of punctuation or how to apply such. Useless, in my view, without more help. Pimsleur does a better job of making reviewing a lesson(s) possible. I gave high marks on the satisfaction score because I like the way several parts of the module are taught, better than Pimsleur, I think. Price was also great. I think Pimsleur is too expensive, but their customer service is much, much better than Rocket.

Hi Steven, we are sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the course. We have sent you an email to follow up with some of the problems you are having.
I love this course! The conversational lessons are great, they allow me to practice while running on the treadmill which is a bonus! The reinforcement tools help you to really retain the information. I have been using it every day for over a month now and have really improved my Spanish skills
This is a fabulous course for beginners. I can literally see myself in situations given in the modules, interactive and lucid. Cultural lessons are also engaging. Overall it is good value for money.
I am very happy so far. I have done 3 lessons in 2 days and am excited to be able to learn a language before retiring as an expat
I am very impressed with this course. The podcasts are very well made, and I love that they are the main part - you can practice also when doing other things (even though it feels a bit weird to speak random Spanish words in public...) and the different possibilities for repetition are making everything less repetitive and boring. When I learn new words and sentences I need to both say them out loud and write them down, so it's great to have this possibility inside the course.
I took me a while to decide to buy this course because of all the free material you can find online, but I have not regretted it a second, it's definitely worth it. It might be possible to learn a language just by using the free materials and information on the internet, but having a course makes me stick to actually learning instead of searching around all the time.
Thanks for making this!
I find it a little difficult to navigate when I’m listening to it. I still haven’t been able to find somewhere where I can quickly look at conjugated verbs. Also I can’t easily find where and how to easily contact customer service to find out how best to navigate.
