Rocket Spanish Reviews

I have bought all three stages of rocket Spanish and it´s amazing. It´s so easy to follow, i am definitely learning a lot. One thing i love about American companies like rocket languages is that they really know how to teach: it's idiot proof which i consider a strength and not patronizing at all. One of the problems i faced with language learning is the speaking aspect and rocket languages covers this so well, a lot more than Rosetta Stone that is more expensive and in my opinion not worth it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone; value for money and a lot of content for you to go over AND there is no expiry date. It's so nice to have this account forever and not on some sort of time share. I think that makes this a million times better than Rosetta Stone as i don't feel pressured to learn and can learn at my own pace, which is still fast but without the time pressure. I actually believe i can reach fluency with Rocket's help and now i'm more determined than ever. I am also thinking of learning Chinese and i'm so happy Rocket has a chinese version too. I have aspirations to be a translator and i definitely would recommend Rocket to anyone so is thinking on the same lines. Clarity over complexity: this is the Rocket experience. 100/100

I purchased my Rocket Spanish at a time in my life when I thought I would be able to learn Spanish in a few weeks or months. Man was I wrong, it takes determination and dedication, like when I was learning Guitar, which both require a personal investment of your time, there is no short cut or quick fix . If you want something badly enough there is a cost, and it is your time, but believe me this is the way to learn Spanish.
Once you have learned something it is essential that you do not move along too fast as the things you thought you knew, are quite easily forgotten. So I try to get back to parts of the language where I am weaker, or just need refreshment.
I am 68 years old and live in Canada, and I want to succeed with learning Spanish soooooo very much now. I am sure my mind is not as quick, active and able to perform , like it used to when I was a lot younger. But aside from the stumbling blocks, I am determined to continue learning and be more proficient, in a language that I love.
My wife and I like to travel to latin countries , as we love their culture, and warmth to travelers.

I am very interested in learning to speak English, apart from that I love the language, I need to learn to speak it very well, I have read and seen many advertisements and recommendations and I am very excited to learn from you. Thank you for letting me be part of your big family.

I am very happy with Rocket Spanish. I find it easy to use. The lessons are thorough and you can repeat them as often as you want. The only difficulty that I have had is with the software's ability to understand when I speak very short words, like "no". Even though it cannot understand me, I can still use the playback feature to assess what I sound like so it has not been a very big issue for me. There is a lot to do within Rocket Spanish and it is accessible anytime. You can ignore it for a year and then get right back it to it! I've also used Rosetta Stone and find Rocket Spanish to be much more suited to the way that I learn.

I have tried to speak Spanish for years, buying into memorizing vocabulary with its gender and count, listing verb conjugation, breaking down tense usage, and referencing dictionary check. And yet, no matter how much I applied myself, I would fail miserably at sentence structure. I could not relate my thoughts to others. I struggled with verb tenses relative to mood and emotion. I used multiple verb sets to indicate mood. I was lost and would quit trying. There were times I would focus so intently on a conversation, a headache would result.

Rocket Language put my focus on communicating in Spanish, not memorization and grammar. Initially, I realized that learning how to pronounce Spanish words (sounds) enabled others to identify my spoken words and thereby understand my attempts to speak to them. I placed more emphasis in this area. I discovered that now, I could identify words spoken by a fluent spanish talker that were spoken to me. I realized that simple learned conversational phrases could be modified and combined to fit a variety of life's situation. More learned verbs could be used to convey more ideas, gain information and fluency.

I highly recommend Rocket Spanish as an introductory Spanish course. I'm able to access all prior lessons and review lessons as needed. I like the format -- listening to a practical conversation, breaking down the conversation, repeating back the conversation, (even rating my pronunciation!), spelling out the phrases, and the quiz! This approach truly is the best way for me to learn. Like other reviewers, I have tried other Spanish language online courses, and none have come close to what I have learned so far. I am super satisfied, and I feel this course is well worth the money.

I did not purchase this product but it was instrumental in my learning "muchos palabras" in Espanol. I am thankful for this opportunity to learn many of the words that I was not familiar with. The fact that this opportunity was free makes it even sweeter.

I love everything about this program, the explanation, the quiz, the voice recognition feature, I am super excited earning badges and gaining points, its very motivating, also it is very easy to navigate through the program. Definitely five stars!!!!

I put off buying Rocket Spanish for a long time, mostly due to all the Spammy type marketing I saw online. However, after purchasing a few others, and still finding myself lacking, I decided to give it a try. I am glad I did. It is a very thorough, useful tool to learn actual conversational Spanish. The type of Spanish that is useful in actually talking to people. I highly recommend it.

I purchased Rocket Languages Spanish and German over five years ago and did so because the program was rather inexpensive when compared to Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur which I have also purchased and enjoy. I do feel Rocket Languages is actually the better of the three programs and the reason I purchased two languages was because I can use Spanish everyday at work. I have a lot of patients who only speak Spanish and I have to rely on others to translate for me and I am getting tired of relying on them. I chose German because I used to live in Germany and tried to learn the language but everyone spoke English so I seldom had an opportunity to practice German. I will say I like the Spanish program better than the German one because Mauricio sends me weekly updates to encourage me to continue practicing with new phrases . I haven't heard from Paul in five years. Since Mauricio send me the updates I started thinking last week if I had just studied for 15 minutes a day these past five years I would probably be fluent enough to converse with my patients so I decided to reengage with rocket languages and see where the next five years finds me.
