Rocket Spanish Reviews

Tengo setenta y nueve anos y mi mina es poquito flaco. The progression of learning options is not intuitive. I tried to check flashcards, but nothing happened. I attended an english teachers school in Mexico two years ago. My main problem was the computer. surely you can make the lessons a bit more intuitive: when i click "flashcards" something should happen. The problem with the dashboard is that it is separated from the lesson: One must carry info from one basket to another or more likely to several baskets. Info gets dropped in the transportation process. Why not make info transportation easy and intuitive so one does not have to run to and fro to figure out how to make the program work

It has only been two days but I am beginning to get to grips with Espanol. I like that you can go at your own pace. Also, it is good fun! I have had quite a few laughs even though a lot of them are at my expense!

The flash cards and the know it parts are especially good and handy. Narrowing down what you need more work on, followed by a review and a new test. Also, the audio sections are arranged in a handy way for me. I completed another Spanish course, so really am intermediate, but am using the ending review parts of the audio courses in the beginning modules to refresh myself and also to learn the different words covered here.

Too early for a review, I'm still doing the six day trial. The audio lessons are good but I'm finding the rest of the site difficult to navigate. That will most likely improve with practice.

My reason for wanting to learn Spanish is that I have a grandaughter who is just six months old. Her Father, my son, will talk to her only in English and her Mother, who is fluent in both languages, will speak only Spanish. People have told me that infants and older people learn languages at about the same rate so I'm going to see how well I can keep up with her. (Of course, already being an English speaker, I'm starting with a significant advantage).

Rocket Languages is really helping me to practice from lessons I took back in high school and I am learning in ways that are better than back in high school. I really like the practice writing and speaking as well as listening. The role playing conversations are very beneficial! I am feeling more confident about speaking Spanish now.

The course so far has been good, it is. The vocabulary practice with words like cat and dog - would be better if you specified if the object is male or female. for example cat(m) dog(f)

Rocket Languages is a great way to start learning Spanish. I did not like it a first but as my knowledge of Spanish grew, so did my like for this product.

I'm very happy with the format and tools provided. It's always good to approach learning from multiple angle, and super important in language learning to have conversations. Rocket is providing all these things. The one thing I don't like is that the early lessons are teaching the "familiar" form of you, and not teaching the "formal" at all. I'm learning for the sake of speaking to my father's caregiver, and I know she prefers Usted. I've also gotten horrible stares when I accidentally used familiar conjugation when trying to practice Spanish with Spanish speaking acquaintances. I know there are places that don't use the formal, but in places that do, I believe survival Spanish (ordering from a menu, etc) would be much better used with the formal, which is always respectful with people you don't know. And would be understood as meaning to be respectful even in places it's not commonly used.

This review pertains to Rocket Spanish and the Android APP. The short version is I am very happy with the format and content. My rate of learning has increased significantly since I started using Rocket Spanish. I will discuss the pros below and the several cons that keep this from being a 5 star rating.
After using Doulingo daily for 2 years (almost no missed days!) I am able to read some Spanish and have a fairly good vocabulary but cannot understand spoken spanish or speak Spanish well at all. I knew I needed something more to take it to the next level. After much research I decided on Rocket Spanish.
The pros:
Right away I am speaking Spanish sentences.
I can “hear” Spanish better. This has been the most fun for me because I feel I can understand TV, radio, and regular people (to some extent) so much better.
I love the lesson format. Hear it, say it, write it, know it (memory recall), and then the flash cards. I love the flash cards. The test portion is weak. Not going say it is a con but its 5 easy questions that don’t change if you redo the test.
I get as much help as I want on correctly annunciating the words. This is huge. I love that I can spend as much time as I want on correctly saying the words.

I am really enjoy learning rocket Spanish, and would like to see more pictures in the lessons and vocabularies. I am learning better with pictures and audio. I understand everybody learn differently. The audio part is very good at repeating and explain the meaning of words and sentences. I hope this comment is helpful to you. My conclusion is rocket Spanish, is a very powerful tool to learn Spanish language and I love it. Keep up the good work.
