Rocket Spanish Reviews

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 look forward to using Rocket Spanish every day. And now with the iPhone app, I can listen to the audio while I'm driving to work, and then study on the computer later. I am traveling to Spain in May, and can't wait to practice everything that I have learned so far!

This program has been amazing! I purchased it about three years ago and I can now easily have conversations in Spanish. I am told very often that I have very good Spanish by fluent speakers. I focused for a solid year and listened and studied to the material for about 3-4 hours a day. Spanish is not easy, but you can't give up or you will forget everything that you learned.

I started the program when my daughter was 8 months old because I wanted us both to learn Spanish. Once I started the program, I started only speaking to her in Spanish and I continue to ONLY speak to her in Spanish every day. Now my daughter is 3 1/2 years old and she can speak and understand Spanish perfectly. Without Rocket Spanish, we would've never learned how to speak Spanish which would've created a major language barrier between my daughter and her grandparents (my in-laws) because they do not know English. Now we are both able to communicate with our entire family, and now I am just perfecting my accent. Fortunately, my husband speaks fluent Spanish, but he couldn't teach me because I needed to understand the rules behind the language which he does not know. Rocket Spanish's grammar lessons were perfect and enabled me to understand the logic behind many of the common language errors (i.e, when to use the subjective tense).

I am constantly telling people about Rocket Spanish and I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn a language!!

I have tried Rosetta Stone in the past as well as Duolingo and Babbel. I feel that Rocket Languages has been the most beneficial out of all of the ones that I named previously. I really like the amount of content as well as the reinforcement that you get from previous lessons as you go forward. Another great feature is the ability to download the conversations. I have also noticed that as your progress the speed at which they speak increases. This is really nice because it gives you a chance to attune your ears to the language when it is being spoken at a faster speed.

I definitely liked the price point of this program compared to Rosetta Stone. You definitely get more bang for your buck with this program. The amount that I have picked up on in just a couple of weeks has been awesome. Would highly recommend this product!

I love Rocket Spanish, and am really enjoying the course. There is so much content for the reasonable price, including the ability to download audio for on-the-go listening. There are also games, tests and a couple of books to download. Oh yes, and the new app is great.

I tried the intro lesson, and it wasn't enjoyable. When practicing pronunciation, I would fail to pronounce a word, but I would get 100%. I have a good microphone, but I had to yell to get half of what was said recorded. When it did show, I said 100% the playback would only have recorded 50% of what I said. I was yelling most of the time, which was really irritating. I practiced writing skills without knowing special characters, so I got most of the words wrong, although I had all the necessary letters.
I absolutely hated yelling into the microphone and then hearing a partial version of what I had yelled. So far, I hate Rocket Spanish. I completed the lessons, and if not for the fact that I had heard many of the basic words in the past, I would not have remembered most of what I learned. Thankfully, I am on a trial. Thank you, Rocket, for the trial period. I will continue the trial one more time and then give Babbel a try, trusting their money-back guarantee..

I have loved this program for learning a brand new language. The repeat of each new phrase has really helped me and the test, quizzes and games make it lots of fun! I want to learn another language because Rocket Language made this so easy

Overall, definitely gets you "speaking" quite a bit. The great majority of this, however, is just rote copying of what was just heard. Regurgitation, not processing and internalizing. The rest is straight translation, which in my opinion is a far inferior way to learn a language. A good number of lessons use words/phrases/tenses that have never been discussed and are simply not explained. There are quite a few glitches with speech recognition, especially regarding numbers and accent marks. The material is HEAVILY focused on travel, which I get makes some sense if you're learning Spanish in order to travel, but I suspect a large number of people are like me, learning Spanish to use in everyday life. May just be a US bias though, where Spanish can be very useful almost everywhere.

Feel like I'm learning a lot in a natural way. Much better than duolingo which i've tried before so I'm happy with the program. Look forward to learning more with rocket.

The older version of Rocket Spanish was good, but the 2021 upgrades are great. The amount of targeted speaking practice one can do with the Rocket program is what I most appreciate.
