I did not deal with customer services so cannot comment.
I find the lessons long, but I can spend as long as I need to be sure I get it.
In addition, I like the fact that you can reset assignments and try them over and over.

We’re glad to hear you enjoy the flexibility of resetting the activities and taking the time you need to master each lesson, Mary. Repetition is a key part of language learning, and it’s great that you’re making the most of it!
I really enjoy the lessons and the multiple ways the information is reinforced - listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
However, there are two major issues for me.
First, each lesson begins with a video tutorial. I have an audio processing disability - it's hard for me to comprehend spoken words in a conversation or tutorial. My learning style is reading/writing, so I really need to be able read the transcript of the tutorials. The lessons aren't an issue because the spoken parts are short - no more than a sentence at a time . And I can replay it as often as I need to.
Second, the top right has a leaderboard, daily points, and a streak. Even though I can progress at my own pace, the presence of these statistics sets a competitive undertone that makes it stressful. I realize a lot of people like that, but there should be an option to disable it for those who don't.

As for motivational features like the leaderboard, you can turn this off in your profile settings. And if anything else comes up—or if there are other features you feel would better support your learning—we’d love to hear your thoughts. We’re always open to suggestions.
This course is helping my brother and I to learn Spanish. Even though we were raised on the US/Mexico border, we didn't have enough instruction to become fluent. So, here we are again, many years later, trying again. I appreciate that this program is very thorough, has excellent help on each section along the way. Thank you, Rocket Spanish!

You asked way too soon, I can't say just yet. Give me some more time

Thank you for your feedback, Michael! We completely understand—language learning is a journey, and it’s great to give yourself time to explore the lessons before forming an opinion. Enjoy the process, and if you would like to update your review, contact our support team at [email protected].
It would help, when attempting to pronounce these words, that the phonetic pronunciation was included. I believe that would help me a lot.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you for the suggestion, Ronald! You’ll find a more phonetic breakdown of Spanish pronunciation in the first Rocket Spanish Language & Culture Lesson, which is located in the Intro Module. Keep up the great work!
You actually learn Spanish here. Not like in duolingo which is just there for some fun and monkey based games. With Rocket Languages you get to practice, rehearse and ...rehearse again ;-)

Thank you for your feedback, Annick! We’re thrilled to hear that Rocket Spanish is helping you truly learn and practice the language. Repetition is key, and it’s great that you’re making the most of it!
I am really enjoying the app. I want to become fluent in Spanish, so I spent some time looking at many different apps to decide which one to go with. I found myself really enjoying the Rocket Languages method. I saw in another review someone was critical of Amy‘s voice, but I really like her voice. For me as a non-native Spanish speaker, hearing Amy speak is actually very helpful, just as it is equally helpful to have a native Spanish speaker. What I learned from listening to Amy is the softer pronunciation. If I try to speak with my Australian accent the touch of the tongue is quite forceful, but Spanish is more gentle and I could pick that up by listening to Amy. So, the voices so far have been very nice to the ear and helpful. Now, all that is needed is my daily effort and practice.
