Rocket Spanish Reviews

I have been working with duolingo for about a year now and while this program has certainly helped to expand my vocabulary I did not see how it would help me to engage in any conversation. I am now working every day with the Rocket Spanish program and love the approach. I am now learning in a way that will allow me to learn things that I will be able to use in daily situations that I hope to encounter in my future travels.

Having some familiarity with Spanish, I appreciate the conversational approach to learning vs simple memorization of vocabulary words. I'll be interested to see how this enhances my retention. So far, so good!

I have a good base of Spanish vocabulary but I am a very visual learner and have struggled with hearing and speaking the language. Rocket Spanish, in just a few days, has helped develop these skills. I was able to begin a conversation with someone in Spanish for the first time, with confidence. I look forward to continuing to learn and be better able to converse.

Just started, but enjoying it so far! Love how many different things it offers to help you learn and retain the information. I continually go back to review and refresh what I've learned to keep it in my mind at all times. Looking forward to more lessons.

So far it's a great learning technique. I like how the audio mentions other ways that a word could be used or other ways to answer questions. I think it will be a test on how well I've learned once I try to start speaking Spanish to someone else since it's still different than learning via computer and audio lessons. I do like the reading and writing reinforcement since it helps when you see what you're learning to say instead of just repeating words.

Quite good although the programme is not that easy to follow which makes it harder for me to buy.
I need a simple one with less computer glitches. Although this ones verbal pronunciations are good.
I also couldn’t understand jumping from modules throughout the trial.
No directions on how to get back to programme.

I am very impressed with this course. The podcasts are very well made, and I love that they are the main part - you can practice also when doing other things (even though it feels a bit weird to speak random Spanish words in public...) and the different possibilities for repetition are making everything less repetitive and boring. When I learn new words and sentences I need to both say them out loud and write them down, so it's great to have this possibility inside the course.
I took me a while to decide to buy this course because of all the free material you can find online, but I have not regretted it a second, it's definitely worth it. It might be possible to learn a language just by using the free materials and information on the internet, but having a course makes me stick to actually learning instead of searching around all the time.
Thanks for making this!

I am still in the beginning lessons, but I already feel the Rocket practice will stick with me longer than other courses I have tried. I sort of hate the Write It part...but it certainly shows me that my knowledge of where to put accent marks is severely lacking. As frustrating as that is, it is such a clear indicator of where I need to focus more attention, that I have to appreciate the feedback.

I’m very impressed by the ease of presentation, the many tools available for listening, reading, and writing the language, and the useful conversational vocabulary. I have studied several other languages but none have been so enoyable as the Spanish Rocket course I am taking. I will be well prepared for my trip to Spain next summer.

Just beginning to use Rocket Spanish and so far I like the ability to use the information in conversation, rather than just seeing endless words and phrases that generally wouldn't get used in everyday life. Much of what is taught in standard school is basic/background, which is necessary, but this helps relate to real life.
