Rocket Spanish Reviews

So far I am very happy with the Rocket Spanish. It is exactly what I was looking for. It has the listening portion that I can use on my way to work or while on a long walk. It also has the writing portion and the flash cards. I feel like having both really helps my understanding.

This review pertains to Rocket Spanish and the Android APP. The short version is I am very happy with the format and content. My rate of learning has increased significantly since I started using Rocket Spanish. I will discuss the pros below and the several cons that keep this from being a 5 star rating.
After using Doulingo daily for 2 years (almost no missed days!) I am able to read some Spanish and have a fairly good vocabulary but cannot understand spoken spanish or speak Spanish well at all. I knew I needed something more to take it to the next level. After much research I decided on Rocket Spanish.
The pros:
Right away I am speaking Spanish sentences.
I can “hear” Spanish better. This has been the most fun for me because I feel I can understand TV, radio, and regular people (to some extent) so much better.
I love the lesson format. Hear it, say it, write it, know it (memory recall), and then the flash cards. I love the flash cards. The test portion is weak. Not going say it is a con but its 5 easy questions that don’t change if you redo the test.
I get as much help as I want on correctly annunciating the words. This is huge. I love that I can spend as much time as I want on correctly saying the 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.

The lessons are extremely thorough and I appreciate it even though they are challenging at times. Which is a good thing. I have tried other methods of learning Spanish and so far am really liking Rocket Languages.

The training is very good with practical everyday phrases to learn and repeat whenever I have the time.
The voice recognition in the "hear it, say it" becomes either deaf or impaired of hearing even though the answers are correct, as the software refuses to recognise my pronunciation.

This is the most helpful app and course I've tried among all the other apps. The only glitch I found is the hear it, say it part where it does not recognize some of my inputs but overall, the app is great.

I love this site. The setup and option to choose difficulty is brilliant. I especially love how rocketlanguage breaks everything down. I would definitely get this if it wasn’t so expensive. I would rather buy Rosetta stone for a lot less.

How satisfied are you with your Rocket Languages experience? I've had it for a week now and so far it is pretty good as a refresher. The various learning elements are long but it forces re-learning the material. The voice part leaves a bit to be desired as it doesn't always recognize what I am saying even though I know I am pronouncing correctly. I don't like that the Spanish for "I" is pronounced with the English "J" sound. I am used to the Spanish spoken by Mexicans. Other than that the pronunciation seems to be pretty good overall.

How likely are you to buy again? Yes, I would buy it again.

Are you happy with the price? Yes, I am happy with the price. Very reasonable for both level 2 and 3.

Would you recommend Rocket Spanish to a friend? Yes, I would buy it again.

How was the Customer Service? Haven't had to use Customer Service. Therefore, I rated 5 stars pending contacting them.

Still learning about how to use the app. It seems to work well on my Android phone, and voice recognition does not work on my iPad. I wish I could explore more alternate words and phrases that seem commonly used...according toSpanish speakers I attempt to engage.

I've taken several college level Spanish courses and learned words and conjugations but very little speaking and that is my weakness. I started with the first lesson on Rocket, and I found the hearing, speaking, and reading along with immediate reinforcement has really helped my ability to communicate in Spanish. I've just finished the first section of level 1 and my confidence has improved.
