Rocket Spanish Reviews

No customer service line, no prompt response to messages. Write it section should be expanded. No mention of punctuation or how to apply such. Useless, in my view, without more help. Pimsleur does a better job of making reviewing a lesson(s) possible. I gave high marks on the satisfaction score because I like the way several parts of the module are taught, better than Pimsleur, I think. Price was also great. I think Pimsleur is too expensive, but their customer service is much, much better than Rocket.

My first lesson was easy and a great first step towards mastering Spanish. My goal is to be able to converse with many of my neighbors and friends living in New Mexico. I plan to spend a couple of hours each day learning Spanish.

I am really enjoying this app. I need lots of help on pronunciation and this a great option to hear myself . With my book studies and U tube to learn Spanish from a beginner level this is another great tool in my toolbox for learning . I want to learn Spanish for travel and I'm excited to be able to communicate with people from other countries.

Overall a decent program. I listened to the audio for the most part. The games started out being fun, but ended up being a little simple and repetitive. There are two things I would appreciate:
1. Organized sets of rules for verb conjugations, prepositions, etc. I ended up with several sheets from my high school Spanish class, and even though this program was so much better overall, this is the one thing that would've helped.
2. Simple videos, readings, or audio that is understandable from the current lesson and lessons before. Even if it was something like "See Jack run" it would be helpful and informative for Spanish learning.

I have already a long experience with Rocket Spanish course (I am following at this time the lessons of "Premium Plus : Level 2")
I liked Rocket from the start and , while a little tired now, my sympathy seems to persist.
I very much appreciate its structure , the conversations , the multitude of tests , all helping in the laborious task of learning a new language at a rather advanced age and, as I am not living in a country of Spanish language, without the necessary minimum immersion .

But, there are also some weak points, at least in my opinion:

The English versions of conversations are , again from my point of view, unnecessarily long.
I say "unnecessary" because, while all the personages have something interesting to say, and pleasantly so,(truly I like them all !), too many thing are said, some not having a justifying didactic weight in the lesson itself .
Telling these things, irrespective of how much instructive and amusing could they be, stretches and "burdens" these English conversations

Just one more "observation":
The tests , saying it, writing it etc., starting at too low a level , becomes too long, exceeding the usual attention span time.

It is good so far. Just have to be consistent and diligent with my progress.

How satisfied are you with your Rocket Languages experience? I've had it for a week now and so far it is pretty good as a refresher. The various learning elements are long but it forces re-learning the material. The voice part leaves a bit to be desired as it doesn't always recognize what I am saying even though I know I am pronouncing correctly. I don't like that the Spanish for "I" is pronounced with the English "J" sound. I am used to the Spanish spoken by Mexicans. Other than that the pronunciation seems to be pretty good overall.

How likely are you to buy again? Yes, I would buy it again.

Are you happy with the price? Yes, I am happy with the price. Very reasonable for both level 2 and 3.

Would you recommend Rocket Spanish to a friend? Yes, I would buy it again.

How was the Customer Service? Haven't had to use Customer Service. Therefore, I rated 5 stars pending contacting them.

Good if you're serious about learning. Provides very well explained lessons. Won't just throw words at you, but will explain in great detail when and how those words and phrases should be used. Gives a little insight into Latin American culture. Let's you practice reading, listening, and speaking. Explains grammar in a way that is not boring, but is thorough. Not for visual learners. No pictures. Not for people who aren't already very motivated to learn a language. Has a leaderboard and will track your streak, but not overall very game-like. If you finish all three courses you will be able to understand most conversations even if you don't know some of the words. Just try it!

I've decided to start learning Spanish this year and I took some Spanish courses in Hong Kong. They were good, but I felt I didn't have a chance to listen to native Spanish enough or had enough oral practice, and so I started searching for online courses. I read a review page about online Spanish courses, as someone who is serious about learning, I bought the top 3 that were recommended, Rocket Languages was among them. And I have to say, Rocket Languages MUST BE the best choice. I bought the 3-level bundle, and it is ABSOLUTELY worth it! The materials, the technology, the extra information, the grammar, I totally love the course! I don't remember exactly how much I paid for the course, but I remember the amount is equal to roughly 3-4 months of Spanish course in Hong Kong. Frankly, you can't learn that much in 4 months, a lesson per week, in a group setting with 20 students in a classroom. But then with Rocket Spanish, I can learn daily, and re-learn if certain parts are hard, and I can listen to the conversations on the bus, in the gym, etc.

In fact, I've already recommended my girlfriend to buy Rocket German, and friends from my Spanish class to buy the program.
