I think that it's pretty useful, but the voice recognition doesn't really work for the languages that I am learning.
Response from Rocket Languages
We're sorry to hear about the issues you are experiencing with the voice recognition. We have contacted you via email to try and resolve this issue for you.
I wish you had a true native speaker instead of Amy.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Michael, thank you for your review. We provide a variation of voices in the course to expose users to many different types of Spanish. You'll be pleased to know that Amy is replaced in Rocket Spanish Level 2 and 3 with native speakers.
Comprehensive but sometimes doesn't fit my learning style. What i liked, the new role play feature, speaking and the writing practice. What I don't like , the long and often tedious practice sessions (how many times do i have to say "Hola, Amy", especially for the grammer sections which could have more helpful learning examples rather than rote learning phrases. This is especially necessary for difficult topics like object pronouns. Vocab layout is not as good as Duolingo.
The dialogues are good, well explained and generally relevant. Overall its not bad but thinking of switching to an AI style of learning.

Hi Ken, thank you for taking the time to write us a review and leave your feedback. We've made sure to pass your feedback about the repetition to the development team.
So far the pace is overwhelming. I think I would retain more if the lessons were cut in half. Half the time with half the amount of new words. I am also finding some bad issues with the voice recognition. I'm considering going to something lower paced. I don't care if it takes me longer to finish a course. I'm not retaining enough at the pace.

Thank you for your honest feedback, Wayne. We understand that everyone learns at a different pace, and it’s important to feel comfortable with the amount of material in each lesson. You might find it helpful to break lessons into smaller chunks and review them as often as needed before moving on. We also appreciate your comments about voice recognition; please contact our support team at [email protected]. We'd be happy to see what we can do to help!
I think this is a very good and effective course, the only thing I would say about ti is that it can get a little wearing after a while, shortening lessons could be an idea.......anyway, good course, just needs to be shortened a little

Thank you for your helpful feedback, Gigi! We’re glad you find the course effective overall. Your suggestion about lesson length is appreciated; we know everyone learns a bit differently, and we’re always looking at ways to make the experience more manageable and engaging. Keep up the great work!
The good about this program is it is very very targeted towards your listening and speaking. And you will notice your vocabulary and ease of vocal communication improving daily if you put the time in.
The bad news is you need an iron will to push yourself through it because it is SO BORING you'll seriously have a hard time staying awake.
If you can deal with listening, repeating out loud, listening, repeating out loud over and over and over and over again you will learn spanish from this course.
Only 1/2 of the lessons are audio lessons. the lessons that go more deeply into the grammar are all reading and self taught essentially which is VERY disappointing and certainly takes away from the overall value of the course.
So essentially, you teach yourself grammar, the course gives you vocabulary and go get yourself a prescription for methamphetamines so you can stay awake to get the lessons done.
I have tried literally every learning method under the son for learning spanish, I give this course overall 3/5. Effective material, but almost unbearably boring and not worth the full price.

Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts, Carter. We’re happy to hear that the listening and speaking components have supported your progress. We also appreciate your thoughts on lesson pacing and grammar content. While our approach may not suit every learning style, it’s designed to provide a well-rounded and comprehensive approach to learning Spanish grammar.
The product is not working and is confusing. The price is okay but some parts are working fine and others are the most horrible thing that is possible is that the "Play it part" is not working and is not compatible my computer and that is causing problems with the learning experience. I would not recommend it to a friend especially with quality headphknes

Hi Teertho - Looks like we had a bug. Should be fixed now!
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.

Hi Ian - Rocket Spanish had a full review in 2016, I would hope that everything is fine now! (Update 2020: We are going through another full review of Rocket Spanish right now, this should be complete by June 2020)
I couldn't get into it as I am at a more advanced level and I could find much in my trial edition. I never signed up to pay because of that. I didn't use customer service and can't really say about the price and I don't remember what it was. I'm guessing it would be okay if I had seen that the program was helpful in the trial. It would help to have a more helpful trial version.

Hi Mago - If you did sign up for a Level and found it was either too easy or too hard then we would gladly swap it free of charge to a more suitable one.
I was astonished by the sexism and gender stereotypes, there were even lessons about the nativity. I wanted to share these lessons with my partner, who is more advanced than me, but I was too embarrassed, and some lessons were unlistenable for me, due to these problems.
Also, the lessons themselves tend to just ask you to repeat what you have heard, and only occasionally challenge the listener to take what they've learned in the lesson an actually apply it to make new sentences.
On a positive note I was pleased that the instructors would often add multiple ways of saying things.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Nicholas - Thanks for your feedback, and we will take that onboard at our annual review of course content. Certainly the stereotyping is an issue we are looking at, even though a lot of these attitudes are still prevalent in South American culture. As is Christianity, hence the nativity lessons.
