Rocket Spanish Reviews

Rocket (Spanish) is, I believe, a great language learning program. I say “I believe” because I have been using it a short time and have not successfully learned a Spanish, yet.

Pros:
I chose Rocket over courses from other companies because the trial demonstrated that it is more thorough.
It also seemed to focus on Mexican Spanish instead of European. Since I live in California, this is important to me.
The instructors are very clear and entertaining. Pro reviews say they are a bit cheesy but I do not think so.
A clean user interface that works well on my iOS devices. It is not as pretty as, say, Memrise or Duolingo, but it is well structured.
For my learning styles I feel the audio lesson, followed by an activity, flash cards, reading, writing and quiz is more thorough than any others have to offer.
Lessons are downloadable on my iOS devices, but...

Cons
...i stay in a hotel with poor wifi and although I download the lessons at home, for some reason my iPad (wifi only) will sit there and spin like its trying to stream the lesson, even though i had previously downloaded it, and this prevents me from even using the lesson at all when it does this
VERY EXPENSIVE. I paid almost $300 for the program for all levels lifetime.

I researched many programs before my decision to buy Rocket Languages and am very happy with my decision to go with this one. I really like all the reinforcement they offer from pronunciation, flash cards, spelling reinforcement, explanations of masculine and feminine usage, listening and responding to conversations and much more. It is thorough and complete in its instruction. I chose Spanish as I have many Hispanic friends to practice with and love visiting Central and South America. I have already recommended this course to several friends. They have a free trial too which i took advantage of and is a great offer to see if you are comfortable with the structure. I am completely satisfied.

So let me tell you something. I have chosen Spanish for my GCSE'S and I have sucked at languages for the 3 years before picking it so I really needed to get something useful to let me get up of my idiot ground. This platform is really useful. the interaction is fun and the audio is really interesting. I don't really write reviews but, once again, this platform is useful.

I have started the second lesson in RS 3, La Pinata, and have become frustrated and discouraged. The Conversation part is OK even though I am getting tired with Mauricio, but the Extra Vocabulary which has no context as in the Conversation introduces too many new phrases and vocabulary many of which are not even related to the Conversation (79 in this part!). Instructionally fewer new words/phrases with a reasonable amount of repetition would be much better. In RS parts 1 and 2 it seems that the New Vocabulary was generally shorter and more related to the Conversation. In short, I am very disappointed! I star for every rating is even too generous.

Reviewed many language programs prior to purchasing rocket language program. By far rocket is the most comprehensive program. Truly enjoying the rocket experience. Gracias Sam Allen

I am just starting and find the format very well organized. I speak English, dutch, German, French and yes, luxembourgeois. the last one I picked up phonetically and surprise, it is the only language without a dutch accent. I am now working on Spanish and like the format very much. I also appreciate to be able to see the written text and to be able to have some dictation. In summary after five days I love the course.

The app has continuous glitches that the owners are not able to fix. The program is great, but the actual functionality is horrible.

I enjoy learning via a real life conversation and the exercises are great . Highly recommended for those who want to jump on in.

Starting to learn Spanish at 67 years old is probably not the best time but so far so good.
I can't fault the teaching method or the software and I even enjoy even the frustrating time when my mind goes blank.

I love it! It is not glitchy! You learn so many new words in one Lesson! They make it easy and fun! I would definitely recommend this program! Try it its great!
