Rocket Languages review criteria
I am generally very happy with the spoken feedback and the quality of the instruction of Spanish.
Unfortunately often my mic fails to pick up my spoken answer correctly. I bought a special mic for my iPhone and I hope that the mic performance will improve.
However, I need to review and practice hard points such as writing with the correct accent marks. Doing the harder parts of lessons several times is helpful.
I am very pleased with being able to download lesson lectures. Then I can practice away from the computer. This is very helpful.
One problematic lesson:
In Module one of Rocket Spanish, there is one lesson that is poorly designed. Presently I am doing the alphabet. Why is there no spoken practice of the alphabet? Words are presented as a vocabulary list to be memorized. How useless. ! But there is no testing or practice of spelling which is the object of the lesson. This pointless presentation of the alphabet is unlike the quality of other lessons. I wish it could be redone.
Also, in this lesson it is argued that the alphabet is related to learning the correct pronunciation of Spanish.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Ellen - Thanks for the detailed review. As far as the alphabet not having voice recognition, this is because single letters do not work well with voice recognition. It always looks for a word or phrase, which would give mixed results. In saying that further down that page there are examples of each letter of the alphabet in use in common Spanish words. We will email you directly as it does seem strange that we haven't received or replied to your emails.
please add some ADHD mode it will help with focus!

Hi Max, thank you for your review. We will look into this and see what can be done. All the best!
Very monotonous and hard to follow material. I can't keep engaged in the material. Super boring content.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Thelma, we are so sorry to hear that you are not engaging with the course material. We have sent you an email following up on this.
This started well, but the App was changes and now the microphone does not give any time to respond. Despite repeated requests to rectify the problem, nothing has changed. I am now forced to request my money back as the product is NOT fit for purpose.
Spend less time on trying to sell you products and more time on making them work!

Response from Rocket Languages
We know this may seem overwhelming at first, but the ethos of Rocket is to ensure you have all the information you need to fully comprehend the lesson in one place. The key is to break down the activities and lesson content into manageable chunks so you can truly retain what you're learning without getting bogged down by excessive information. For instance, you could split these into two sets of 30 and complete them over two days. If you would like more suggestions or assistance, you can always reach out to us at [email protected]. Best of luck with your journey to learn Spanish!
I have tried other ways and other programs to learn Spanish,and I find Rocket Spanish is the most engaging and the most fun way of learning the language.I LOVE MY ROCKET SPANISH.

I have barely learned anything. I do have ADHD but this system is absolutely terrible. It is too fast paced. I will listen to an audio lesson and it expects me to remember everything. I do not understand anything they are saying. This was a elective for my school and it has been a complete waste of money and time.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Josiah. We're really sorry to hear that the course hasn’t worked well for you. Our program is designed to build understanding step by step, but it sounds like the pacing and structure didn't meet your needs. We truly value feedback like yours, as it helps us consider how to better support different learning styles. If you're open to it, we’d love to try and help or suggest alternative ways to use the course that might be a better fit. Please reach out to us at [email protected].
I first bought Rocket Spanish many years ago after a trip to Costa Rica and Guatemala. I had taken Spanish at my local college, but after the trip it was quite obvious that I needed lots of practice, and Rocket Spanish provided the means in a fun and entertaining way! Understanding the other person is the most difficult part for me, and the way RS is presented, with the conversations and explanations, is by far the best I have seen in any program.
As my Spanish level (and travels) advanced, I continued to use RS for review, and gladly bought the Advanced Level 2. I hope someday I'll be ready for Level 3!
Rocket Spanish was extremely well thought through in its development and gives plenty of practice in all areas of language learning. The explanations are clear, the speaking is easy to understand (oh, if only everyone would speak that clearly!!), and the cultural information is informative.
Oaxaca is my home for 5-6 months of every year, and I continue to use RS for learning and reviewing.
Thanks for such a great program, and yes, I have recommended it to friends and family.
