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

Overall, I think that it a very good course for learning a language at your own pace. The instructors are easy to understand, and the lessons are laid out in a logical manner. I have only gotten as far as lesson 7, but I can tell that the material is extensive. The only complaint that I have is that many points of grammar are not explained at all, I realize that many students of language don't like getting bogged down in a lot of grammar, but the lack of any explanation at all can lead the student to make false assumptions. As I said, I have only just begun the course, so I can only give you a couple of examples. These are cases where I was forced to google my question concerning some very basic material. For instance, the student is never given an explanation about the word "lo" and it's usage. Because of how it was introduced in the lesson, I made the erroneous assumption that "lo" and "yo" both meant "I" and were interchangeable. The instructor said that "lo siento" meant "I am sorry", never explaining that "lo" meant "it", with the actual translation being "I regret IT". Early on in the course, we were told that "tu" means "your, as in "tu madre".

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Edward. Thank you very much for your feedback! Indeed, the Interactive Audio lessons don't spend a lot of time on grammar - they are designed to focus more on pronunciation and on getting you comfortable speaking out loud in particular situations. However, there are full grammar explanations available in the course, and you can find these in the Language & Culture lessons. These lessons cover everything from basic pronouns to verb forms to adjectives - and they teach you about direct object pronouns like **lo** as well. If you find that your learning approach is more grammar-based than audio-based, it might be a good idea to start with the Language & Culture lessons first and intersperse them with Interactive Audio lessons as you go along. If you'd like to look up a particular grammar topic, the lesson titles in the Language & Culture section should be a good guide, but you can also use the Search function at the top of the page. I hope that this is helpful!

I find it a little difficult to navigate when I'm listening to it. I still haven't been able to find somewhere where I can quickly look at conjugated verbs. Also I can’t easily find where and how to easily contact customer service to find out how best to navigate.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Novello - The FAQ and support contact form is available by clicking on your avatar (at top right). There is a lot of content in Rocket Spanish, so the best way to look for particular subjects is by browsing the Dashboard's lesson titles, or using the search at the top of the page.

I only use the web interface. I'm not a fan of apps on my phone. The web interface mostly works but the microphone interface throws error messages and hasn't worked since day 1. I've also had issues with leaving notes and trying to use the contact form. I've tried both Safari and Brave browsers with the same results on both.

Support has be lackluster. I also tried to call the phone # from the website and got an error from Verizon that the call couldn't be completed as dialed. This has happened multiple times.

Response from Rocket Languages

I am early on in the lessons but, already having "un poco" Spanish, I am finding the lessons to be of not a lot of use, so far. I am hoping that will improve as I progress through them. However, I must say that the speech recognition facility is woeful!

I am unable to rate "Customer Service" as I haven't had any.

Response from Rocket Languages

Thanks for your feedback Paul. We hope you're starting to find the lessons more useful. Regarding the speech recognition, we recommend either checking the FAQs, or contacting Customer Support directly with a description of the problem you're having. Thanks so much!

I have studied the Greek language while living on the island of Crete. I wish I would have had something like this to help me put everything I learned together. This course has it all, pronunciation and writing. The flash cards and quizzes really test your knowledge. Awesome online language class.

I rely on seeing the words as well as hearing them. This is integrated throughout. I enjoy immediately learning to pronounce the words and spell the words correctly. It is fun and interactive throughout.

I have completed 4 lessons so far. My experience has been good. I like the pace and length of the lessons. I am looking forward to continuing to build on my experience.
