Rocket Spanish Reviews

I love learning new languages! I can speak conversational German and, to a lesser extent, Croatian.

Recently I was inspired to learn Spanish by a friend and so I spent hours and hours poring over reviews of the various online language learning options. There were so many options out there but nothing really felt like it was "the one" until I came across Rocket Spanish! Now, some people are happy with simply learning how to speak a language by only learning phrases but I'm one of those who really need to understand the grammar behind the phrases and sentences. So, when I came across Rocket Spanish, I was extremely excited to see that, not only will I get to learn to speak the language like a native speaker and in a way that suits my learning style (Visual) but also that the course is packed with quality lessons in grammar.

What really impresses me about Rocket Spanish is the emphasis on repeating words or phrases out loud (not just in my head). This is such an important factor in accelerating one's fluency in a non-native language. After all, if you want to speak a new language, then you really do need to speak it out loud! I only wish that I had come across Rocket when I learned German and Croatian! It would most certainly have saved me countless hours and dollars wasted on ineffective methods.

Rocket Spanish was everything I was looking for. A one stop shop to learn not just memorize vocabulary but to learn grammar and learning to form my own sentences. The voice recording feature is great too as it allows me to practice my accent.

I love the Spanish Program because I already speak and understand the Language-so it is a lot of fun and good practice for me!
I would like to hear a bit more of the Castillian dialect in the program so I can become more proficient and visit Spain.
As for the Arabic (I signed up for both) I believe that this language is quite a challenge only because I have not had the time to really apply myself and quite frankly will have to begin all over again I am so far behind.
I hope to have the time to begin again and Amira always sends her emails and I appreciate them very much-
In all honesty, one would really have to have a private tutor to truly become fluent and this would take a lot of time re: Arabic
I love languages and I appreciate your courses so much-They are the creme de la creme of them all!!
Muchas Gracias!

Great Spanish lessons to keep ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Surprisingly great course! I like to learn conversationally and with audio while driving. This seems to be one of the few internet based courses that has the ability to download mp3's so I can listen in the car (or on the plane without internet)! Can learn with network, visuals, flashcards and pdf'able lessons and even downloadable pdf books!

..and the lessons from Amy and Mauricio are very interactive and expert (like use Como, not Que to say 'What?'..). Lastly they employ great teaching technique, like reinforcement from previous lessons.

would buy again !

I have been struggling with learning Spanish for years. Now that I am retired I thought I would try again. I find the lessons very interesting. The best part is being able to "converse" with the presenters. I also have a Spanish tutor that I converse with once a week, so hopefully this will help to give me more confidence as I move forward. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone interested in learning the language.

So far so good. I have been trying to learn Spanish for many years. I was never fully committed. I am super determined now. I am taking a trip to Spain in May. I was using Rosetta Stone which was good. I am enjoying Rocket more. It is more engaging and interesting. I am actually using it at work with my Spanish speaking patients. I have several co workers who are fluent in Spanish and they are impressed with my knowledge base in such a short time period.

Great program. I've tried various (free and paid for programs) with varying degrees of success. However, this is the best program I've used yet and I love how interactive it is - listening, speaking, writing...I actually look forward to my daily Spanish lessons now! Hopefully, I'll be speaking like a local in no time!!

Of all the various language courses I've looked at for years, this one, with all options is by far the one that suits my needs! I can't wait to get started! After several "glitches" on my part, support was forthcoming , courteous and entirely helpful! I feel confident that I'm in the right place!

It's been about 6 weeks on Rocket Spanish. I'm having a blast learning Espanol. Overall I give it 5 stars.
My observations: introduction of a new word (noun, adjective, adverb, preposition - whatever) without any explanation (te, se, lo) is most disconcerting for me; asking a question when no answer has been provided in the lesson falls in the same category; also adding un-necessary sounds like 'a' before a word can be confusing, Mauricio is guilty of that - BUT these are really minor things and do NOT occur a lot.
I supplement my learning with Google translate and spanishdict.com/conjugation.
I stumbled on an error with the software which was adequately resolved although I was surprised it happened.
