Rocket Spanish Reviews

Rocket Spanish is simply the best language course available (at any price); and as a bonus the price of Rocket Spanish itself is quite modest. I have tried virtually all rapid learning methods available in my quest to learn Spanish and have found the Rocket system superior for a variety of reasons including (but not limited to):

1) Portability - lessons are brief and can be downloaded as mp3 files for listening during travel (i.e. you are not stuck in front of a computer)
2) Engaging conversations and situations that are applicable for foreign travel
3) Grammar lessons are designed to be painless and effective
4) It is rather entertaining ... I find I can spend hours studying without feeling fatigue
5) Price - the cost of this program is a mere fraction of the cost of it's competitors; yet more overall more comprehensive and effective
6) Consistent improvement. The Staff of Rocket Spanish are constantly at work examining their product and adding features to make the features yet more effective.

I highly recommend this product to anyone whose work or travel requires the mastering of a foreign language; as well as for the culturally curious who simply want to have some fun.

A very disappointing course. May I suggest that you review the free DUOLINGO course and try and learn from them. I have also found many errors in the text. No, I do not intend to go back through and innumerate them for you.

I like the audio lessons. The new "know it" part seems a little redundant. The quizes are much too easy. There is very little practice writing or otherwise to really get concepts from a lesson nailed into the brain. And finally the organization is a totally a mess! Where is the overall lesson plan? There is so much repetition between the "Beginners Book" or whatever it is called and the language and cultural lessons, and the lesson numbers don't match, etc...I think there should be at least an order, like read lesson 3.1 in the manual, then listen to the audio lesson 3.1 and then do the cultural lesson 3.6 or something like that. Also the "say it" part where you speak to the computer doesn't really help me at all or my pronunciation. Hearing it helps with that.
Overall it is a pretty good method but could use a better format and overall organization. Bueno, creo que eso es todo.

As a language educator for almost 20 years, I can really appreciate the hard work that has gone into the Rocket courses. One part that stands out is the dialogs with the sentence focus and the interactivity with them. The conversations seem quite useful and the 'extra vocabulary' (read: extra expressions) for each lesson are great. When learning any language, improving vocabulary is necessary (of course), the key is doing so in the context of sentences and life-like situations which make them truly more memorable and enjoyable! Rocket does that.

Suggestions to further improve the experience would be:
- Using the audio from section "6. Play it!" provide an additional download 'button' for the role-play's audio only, this is in addition to the entire lesson with the English explanations like you do at the start of each lesson. That would be so helpful to listen to and playback while in the car or on the bus etc.
- 75% speed button for dialogs. Having the option to go a little slower with some of the sentences is really handy to pick up on the exact sounds and then reproduce them.
- End of module review of some type. It could be simply a random selection of content from each subsection and exercise type.

it is very useful and exeleant for all learners.
we myanmar spanish lesrners are very proud to be your members. however,right now we are giving thanks your term.
muchisimas gracias por todos ayudos suyos.

Good lessons and exercises. I am learning slowly but find it works. Like hearing the conversations and speaking back.

I'm an intermediate Spanish speaker and I really like my Rocket Language Course so far. The audio lessons are interesting, they sound natural and they incorporate a lot of colloquial expressions and informal language which is exactly what I needed in my practice. I also really like the explanation and lesson that accompanies each audio text because it often challenges the learner with "Now that you know how to say that, how would you say this?" I also like that the program forces me to practice my listening, speaking and writing with follow-up practice opportunities. I'm feeling like I am filling in my learning gaps and making progress each day.

tatarI like it so far, I have taken the entire Babble course, I am starting from the beginning, even though I am at beggining advanced level, just to review and practice for the advanced level. So, far this is a good course and I like the format, it seems promising so far, but really any course is good as long as you do it everdy day. We have a summer house in Mexico near Guadalajara, want to achieve more of an advanced level of fluency.

I LOVE this course! It's hands-down one of the best ways to learn a new language. After learning new words in one lesson, the following lessons reinforces what has already been learned by allowing us to listen to a real conversation. So, we are not only memorizing words, we're getting a chance to hear the words spoken. We can listen to conversations over and over until we fully understand what is being said.

What is more, each segment that tests our knowledge etches the new words into our memories by writing the words out, saying the words out loud until they are properly pronounced, and reviewing them once again on flash cards. My favorite part, though, is being able to have a makeshift conversation. This is a great program that is worth every single cent!

I am so grateful for this because I have family friends who speaks Spanish to each other and I feel uneducated. But now, I can maintain a conversation and it feels great to know that we can communicate with each other. This program has helped me more than any teacher I had in my high school and I wish I had something like this in my time. And there was this one time that I went into a store and there were a small group of men looking at me and talking to each other in Spanish and I desperately wanted to know what they were saying. I can’t believe that I can actually understand what I can in Spanish. I’ve only had this for a few days, maybe a week at the most but I already have gotten pretty far with learning. The only thing I am worried about is forgetting Spanish. I would 10/10 recommend this to anyone trying to learn Spanish. This has made everything so much easier. Download it today guys, it’s totally worth every penny and if you try hard enough, you will learn Spanish in almost no time as long as you have the dedication.
