Rocket Spanish Reviews

I have tried most of the courses out there to learn Spanish. I even tried the one you see advertised that uses no English; That is total immersion. None worked. Rocket Spanish did work. I am now having conversations with native speakers. WOW! GREAT!

I've been studying with Rocket French for a while and I can say: it's awesome!!!!!!! It's the fastest and the funniest way of learning a new language. You should give it a try!!!!!!!! You won't regret.

The dialogues are really helpful for understanding real Spanish, not just the usual sample sentences contained in most Spanish textbooks. The audio is also key to perfecting one's pronunciation and increasing comprehension.

What a great way to learn Spanish. I struggle with languages, but I'm certaining enjoying Rocket Spanish. I can't wait to try it out on my friends in Argentina. They will be very surprised that I can speak some of their language.

I really enjoy my learning experience with the very helpful and cheery instructor. Being able to download the lessons has been a great help in becoming comfortable with the spoken word. I listen to them during my drive to and from work and this has helped me get the most from the course so far.

Rocket Languages has EVERYTHING I've always wanted in a language study program. I've tried an online Spanish course and various apps, but always there was something missing. I felt I was up to Level 2 after my other experiences, but I had hit a wall I couldn't get beyond. Rocket Languages Spanish 2 is perfect for me. It encourages me to engage in dialogue, explains and reinforces, provides motivational perks, and allows me plenty of practice speaking like a native as well as understanding spoken Spanish and writing it (love the availability of special symbols!). The voice recognition is really good. I haven't even finished the first lesson and already I'm more confident, speaking to myself in Spanish around the house, even dreaming Spanish phrases! And it's FUN!! Mauricio and team are so kind. It's like having friends who really want to help me learn the language. Thank you, Rocket Languages! After Spanish 2, I hope to "Rocket" on with Spanish 3 and beef up my high school French. Then, who knows?

This is the second Rocket Language course I've taken. I also did Rocket Language French. The Spanish course teaches me at just the level that I need to begin reading and speaking, without feeling like I'm wasting too much time repeating the same basic material. It moves along at whatever rate I choose, and is as challenging as I want to make it.

- dialogue very clear
- good variety of topics in lessons
- maybe a touch over priced
- lesson review sections do not always save for me at the first time of trying
- cultural elements very interesting

I Appreciate the desire to keep updating and adding to the service

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.

nice and easy way to get familiar with Spanish basics. The tests are perfectly designed to make the newly learned words and phrases stick. The points and badges system is a good motivation to keep up and practice daily.
