Rocket Spanish Reviews

Summary: It is most important to start SPEAKING a language as soon as possible to get comfortable with it. I think that Rocket does a decent job getting you ready with some key phrases, pronunciation, and review, but it overloads the learner with too much new vocabulary per lesson.

Format: I really like the audio format in a nice progressive pace and it's less 'cluttered' than the popular pod101 program. The review material is very well rounded, using audio, writing practice, spanish - english and english - spanish practice, plus flashcards (english - spanish).

Overall audio quality: Try the trial to hear them speak. Decide for yourself. In my opinion, Mauricio has a good accent and Carmen speaks slowly. Amy is a dork and I get a little tired of hearing her voice. Her Spanish makes me cringe. The "repeat after me" can be very rushed and I have to pause so that I get a chance to actually repeat a phrase.

Workload: The dialogues can be quite long (some almost 45 minutes!) and the practice has WAY too much vocabulary to absorb for one lesson. I'm currently doing a lesson in Level 2 that has 117 words.

I have found no better method for learning Spanish than using Rocket Languages audio lessons while driving to and from work every day.

Prior to learning Spanish with Rocket Languages I tried and failed to learn Spanish for almost 20 years. Albeit, I wasn't attempting to learn Spanish for the entirety of that 20 years, but given the fact that I grew up enrolled in Spanish lessons or classes from the time I was 4 to the time I started high school at 14 years old, you would think I would have remembered something. Not the case. I basically forgot everything I learned once I was no longer being forced to learn by school and my parents.

Then, in my adult life I recognized I would need to know Spanish fluently to achieve what I most wish to accomplish in this life. That left me, at twenty five years old, wishing I had actually applied myself all of those years in elementary Spanish while I was growing up, and feeling like I was "too old" to learn a new language.

My time with Rocket Spanish has utterly obliterated any notion of being "too old" to learn a foreign language. Now I learn Spanish using their interactive audio lesson every day while I drive to and from work.

Excellent product.
The voice recognition feature is not functioning well sometimes
Thank you!

الموقع رائع جدا للجادين بتعلم لغة معينة, بما يخص تكلم اللغة و فهمها , أما من ناحية التحضير للامتحانات فلا اظن انه يساعد .. تجميع التمارين الصوتية و الكتابية رائع .. في كل درس يوجد نص رئيسي او مقطع صوتي يليه مجموعة كبيرة من التمارين المتكررة للكتابة و التحدث و تمارين الذاكرة .. بالاضافة الى خمس اسألة في النهاية للتاكد من فهمك للدرس بشكل عام .. أنصح به و بشدة بغض النظر عن السعر المرتفع نسبيا مقارنة مع باقي المواقع .. جدا سعيد بتجربتي لتعلم اللغة الاسبانية هنا

The lesson's best feature, for me, is the capability of downloading them and putting them on my mp3 player. I spend about 9 hours a week on my bicycle. I listen to these lessons while I'm riding. I repeat them, over and over again, until I am completely familiar. The lessons are well organized and pleasant. I am content with their learning style and method. Their portability makes them more valuable.

I appreciate the fact that actual sentences are used so that conjugating a verb is relative to who is included in the conversation. I like that I don't have to spell it exactly correct before I can move on to the next section.

The variety of teaching formats really helps reinforce what I am learning, and I love that I can work at my own pace. I would highly recommend Rocket Languages to anyone who wants to learn to speak a foreign language!

Who couldn't love Rocket Languages Spanish? This is truly an intuitive language-learning wonder! Thanks, Rocket Team

Enjoying the course. I like the interactive aspect especially hearing my recorded voice so I can compare my pronunciation to the correct pronunciation.
