Rocket Languages review criteria
I think Rocket Languages gives you everything that you need to use as a foreign language learner. Input and output are important to understanding language and being able to produce it, respectively. The lessons are EXTENSIVE, which is great for a beginner who needs all the output and input possible. I'm starting to find the lessons too long; not the recordings, but the entire lessons. This may be because I have just started trying to focus more on my input (reading, listening, and doing both simultaneously), so there are parts of the lessons that make me spend more time than I'd like.
I already get output practice with a tutor two times a week (2 hrs) and with my sentence mines from Anki every day. That being said, Rocket Languages gives you a WHOLE LOT OF USEFUL sentences and phrases to remember (if you choose to remember them); they can be mined in a spaced repetition deck like Anki, Quizlet, or whatever.
All-in-all, Rocket Languages seems to give you the most comprehensive method for improving your language skills ESPECIALLY for the price! So the value is top-notch!
I'd just recommend supplementing your teachings here with your own sentence mines in a spaced repetition system like ANKI and weekly tutoring from a live, native speaker in your target language.
I purchased Rocket Languages to help me communicate with my family and friends that speak Spanish whether native speakers or ones that learned at some level of school. The program is easy to navigate. The games and audio lessons allow for revisits at any time for a refresher. The quizzes helps by checking to see if you understand what you just learned. The addition of the mobile app allows me to learn on the road. Rocket Languages has helped me get in touch with the Latin part of my ethnicity and helps me understand and enjoy the cultural experience more. I would recommend Rocket Language to any of my friends that would like to learn Spanish.
My only complaint is that the Spanish keyboard is difficult to use and would be best if it were just built directly into the screen instead of me having to pull it out for each individual exercise. Other than that, I love this system. It is so user friendly, personalized, and easy to navigate. It is thorough in the way it teaches the material and gives the user a lot of freedom to make choices along the way.
this is a very good medium for those who have that craziness to achive somthing in there live . I had an excellent experience learning my favorite languages .The online mentors here are supportive and cross qustions at each and every step thi seems that i am sitting in a classroom understanding with a great ease
There 5 ways to rate Rocket Languages. The last on is "How was the Customer Service?" There isn't a "not applicable" option. That would be my response! There has never been a need for customer service with in the 3 years or so I have been using these programs. My only request is to shorten the introductions to the lessons. Or maybe only eliminate them all together.

Hi Deborah, thank you for leaving a review. We appreciate our users taking the time to give us feedback. I have passed your suggestion concerning the lesson introductions to the Product Development team to consider when they update the course. All the best with your Spanish language journey!
I really love Rocket Spanish! Learning seems easier with this program than others out there. I just wish there was a little more on conversation with friends. I know and work with many people from Argentina, Cuba and Puerto Rico and would love to just sit and have conversations with them about everyday things and just really be able to become great friends.
After only six Spanish lessons I happened to drive past a beer garden in a small town in Texas. There was a sign in the front that had a hand drawn humorous quip written in Spanish. I knew what it said! There was no stopping and mentally translating. I just read it and understood!
I've bought both Rocket Spanish and Rocket Italian, and find both to be excellent language-learning resources. The mix of timed repetition, different practical scenarios (at a restaurant, at a hotel, asking for directions, etc.), and the equal emphasis on speaking, listening, and writing are very helpful. I recommend Rocket Languages. (The only reason I'm not likely to buy again is that I don't currently plan to learn any additional languages.)
We tried Pimsleur and Duolingo each for a month before finding Rocket Spanish. Two weeks into RS and we’re pleased and feel like we’re learning USEFUL conversational Espanol. We wsh RS allowed us our own learning profile on one account like Pimsleur does. Pimsleur Level 1 to us as Beginners was VERY boring and far less practical than Rocket. And, Duolingo is a nice phone app for vocabulary but we learned very little practical conversation Spanish. So for our money and the time we will invest Rocket was a very good find.
love this lesson(s) and I am working on those pesky RRRRR's
