Rocket Spanish Reviews

It is a great learning experience.
My slow use of the course is that at 81 years of age I don't find a enough time to properly apply myself with too many necessary outside projects.
I haven't given up!

I really love this program. I have a strong to learn another language and Rocket Spanish is just what i needed.

wowie so cool i now know how yell at burger king employees in spanish :3

I got this course with my library card and I am VERY happy with it. I'm still on mod 1 but I'm learning lots.

I am enjoying Rocket Languages so far (2 weeks in) and hope to master the Spanish language over time. I had taken Spanish up through my second year of college many years ago and could read it fluently but was intimidated to talk and could not speak it at all. I am hoping to now relearn Spanish and be able to both read and speak the language fluently through Rocket Languages.

gradual course with lots of speaking exercises with playback to hear your mistakes or perfection.

Great Spanish course! I appreciate the ability to move at my own pace. Spanish courses in high school were adversely affected by students who were not motivated to learn Spanish. As a result, it was an inefficient use of time. It also required my attendance miles from where I lived. My Spanish classes from Rocket Languages are mostly in my living room and they are conducted whenever I decide class should be in session. The software for Rocket Language Spanish is also effective on my iPhone and I found the phone version to be very user friendly.
In college, the Spanish classes moved too fast, and frankly, I never could catch up. I never had time to go back and sufficiently learn a topic as "the class" was moving at the speed that the professor determined was necessary. That speed was always faster than what I could handle. With Rocket Language Spanish, I can pause the pace of a chapter and stay on a topic which I am having difficulty with, such as a pronunciation, and then when I am satisfied I have grasped the topic as best as I can, I can then return to complete the rest of the chapter. Fantastic! You can't do that in a group class.
I also enjoy the constant (and repeatable) mini phonetic prompts that accompany all lessons.

This place is OK but not as good as duolingo. I can not do any of the lessons as i am not a "full member". This is not for me thanks.

Thirty years ago, I used Pimsleur tapes purchased by my employer and local university continuing education classes that they paid for. I did obtain sufficient fluency at the time which worked well traveling to Mexico. But, "use it or lose it" caught up to me. I want to regain where I was and go further. With Spanish podcasts, other Internet options and Spanish cable channels, "using it so as not to lose it" is more available. And, I now have some "locals" who I know that have Spanish as their first language or, are like me, and "don't want to lose it" again. We meet every week to have coffee or tea and to chat with each other. It is a great way to meet new people and to bring people together! Finally, en español, "Deseo hacer un viaje a Ecuador y las islas de Galapagos, y tambien, un viaje a Costa Rica con "Habitat for Humanity". Me gustaria hablar en su lengua."
¡Muchas gracias, Rocket Spanish! ¡Amy and Mauricio "Rock It"!

I would definitely recommend it to anybody who wants to learn a language!
