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.
I really enjoy the lessons and the multiple ways the information is reinforced - listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
However, there are two major issues for me.
First, each lesson begins with a video tutorial. I have an audio processing disability - it's hard for me to comprehend spoken words in a conversation or tutorial. My learning style is reading/writing, so I really need to be able read the transcript of the tutorials. The lessons aren't an issue because the spoken parts are short - no more than a sentence at a time . And I can replay it as often as I need to.
Second, the top right has a leaderboard, daily points, and a streak. Even though I can progress at my own pace, the presence of these statistics sets a competitive undertone that makes it stressful. I realize a lot of people like that, but there should be an option to disable it for those who don't.

We’re glad to hear that the lessons’ varied approaches are supporting your Spanish learning, Joe. We completely understand where you’re coming from, and our team is actively working on improving course accessibility. You should be able to find the audio transcripts directly below the audio player in the Audio Lessons. If you’re having any trouble accessing them, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team ([email protected]) for help. As for motivational features like the leaderboard, you can turn this off in your profile settings. And if anything else comes up—or if there are other features you feel would better support your learning—we’d love to hear your thoughts. We’re always open to suggestions.
You asked way too soon, I can't say just yet. Give me some more time
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you for your feedback, Michael! We completely understand—language learning is a journey, and it’s great to give yourself time to explore the lessons before forming an opinion. Enjoy the process, and if you would like to update your review, contact our support team at [email protected].
It would help, when attempting to pronounce these words, that the phonetic pronunciation was included. I believe that would help me a lot.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you for the suggestion, Ronald! You’ll find a more phonetic breakdown of Spanish pronunciation in the first Rocket Spanish Language & Culture Lesson, which is located in the Intro Module. Keep up the great work!
