Rocket Spanish Reviews

While I am still on Level 1 of Rocket Spanish, I am not only enjoying it but more importantly, I am actually learning to speak Spanish. I've been going over and over each sub-level until I am totally comfortable with everything - works for me. I am 67 and planning on moving to a Spanish speaking country in 2021, so naturally, I want to be a bit prepared.

Also, I am finding all of the optional exercises enormously helpful; I need to see the words and write them in order to lock them into my mind along with the meaning and pronunciation. I understand not everyone learns this way but I chose Rocket Spanish for this reason - along with the fact that they generously allowed me to try out the program first to see if I liked it. I love it!

I also plan on getting a few Spanish short story audiobooks and listening to Spanish-speaking podcasts once I have progressed more.

Highly recommend!

Although I'm just beginning, so far I like the format and the ability to repeat all or part of a lesson.

I purchased Rocket Spanish about 2 weeks ago and although I lived in Latin America for a few years that was a while ago and the language has slipped away from me. I am starting right at the beginning and I am re-discovering a lot of the common ways to say things in Spanish, rather than the convoluted way I have fallen into. You can go at your own pace, the lessons are interesting, repeatable and keep me focused.

Decent program, the voice recording and speak detection leaves a lot to be desired but at least it gets you to speak. My main issue is with the module tests at the end of the lessons, they crash and reset the entire test once you get to the end of a section. It is not worth doing.

I think conceptually, it's great. The progression of language makes a lot of sense to me and feels natural. A few critiques: it is very geared toward traveling to South America as a tourist or for work or something, so if you're learning Spanish for any other reason, this doesn't give you a lot of the vocabulary that would probably be useful. Also, though the concept is great, there are still a lot of kinks that need to be worked out so that it actually functions properly. Things are often misspelled, especially in the later lessons. If there are multiple ways to say the same thing, there is almost no indication which way they expect you to use, and you get docked if you say the one other than expected. Also, the software has a really hard time picking up what you're saying, so you can pronounce things the exact same way, and one time it's correct and the next time it's incorrect because the software just isn't good at understanding verbal language. So overall, really good product, I just wish they had spent a little more time developing it and working out the bugs before rolling it out.

I like an love this Roket . I suggest many of my friend . I only feel this is the best way to learn any language . But price always high . need low price for the people in asia .

The only reservation I have is the fact that basic, essential grammar is not part of the first lessons. For instance, basic conjugations of "to be" or "to have" are not detailed and explained, but simply mentioned during lessons.
This is a problem since the grammar of the Spanish language is different than of the English language.
With this exception, I am content with the quality of the course.

I've only been using Rocket Language Spanish for two weeks and I feel comfortable having a conversation with a Spanish speaker. Another year from now I'm planning on being fluent by using Rocket Language Spanish

Rocket Spanish is completely awesome! I've only studied a couple of weeks and already feel confident that I can converse. It's an excellent program, well worth the cost!! I am looking forward to continued learning. Thank you for helping me become fluent in Rocket Spanish.

Today is my 100th consecutive day [I am on 13.1] I am so glad I purchased RS.
Take advantage of their free trial and see for yourself.
I researched a variety of Spanish learning options. I decided I needed a solid, well-thought-out program that would be my every single day go-to “class”. I get to read as I listen (visual learner) and then I do their Activities. Later I use many other inputs (podcasts, youtube, readers, duolingo story, children’s bible) with my interest (bees, surfing, running) being the guide and allow myself to hop around on a whim.
With the confidence I gained, I finally cooked up enough courage and began using ConversationExchange. This has led me to ‘just going for it’ with locals I think might be monolingual Sp speakers. My Sp is ‘not perfect’, but I can communicate and I am improving every day, and having fun!
Some highlights of RS for me: I can listen on my trail runs and biking, interesting hosts/topics, Activities (what you sow is what you reap), ‘pep-talk’ section, cogent, computer or phone, convenience. It forced me/allowed me to develop my listening/speaking at my own pace and comfort level. Hopefully next summer will be covid-safe to visit Costa Rica and I will have completed Level 3 (with lots of review also) and I will be even stronger with my Sp.
