I would love Rocket Languages if it would work and the sound would stop cutting out. I ask for help they say it will take 2 days to get a response for my request. I really thought the first course 1.1 was great but i cant get past 1.2 because it plays for awhile and then the sound cuts out.

Hi Darlene - We are following up with you via email/Skype to try and resolve the issue!
I've taken several college level Spanish courses and learned words and conjugations but very little speaking and that is my weakness. I started with the first lesson on Rocket, and I found the hearing, speaking, and reading along with immediate reinforcement has really helped my ability to communicate in Spanish. I've just finished the first section of level 1 and my confidence has improved.
For five years I've been learning Spanish through books, online programs and other courses. I have had limited success and often gave up for long periods of time before trying again. I never made it past what I would consider a beginning Spanish level.
Rocket Spanish is the first course that I've found truly interesting, engaging, and motivating. Unlike many other learning methods, Rocket Spanish covers learning from all areas: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The course content is interesting and the progression has been at a good pace for me. I have now completed the beginner Spanish level and I'm working through intermediate. This is the first time I've felt comfortable (not lost) with learning Spanish!
The package is very well organized and well-planned, but I find it confusing. After completing Duolingo and Santamaria's Synergy Spanish, I'm not finding my proper level in Rocket Spanish and the system doesn't let me move ahead. The first third seems to me not useful to someone who is at the early intermediate stage, and I can't find a way to get into the second level. Instead, I keep getting just the intro material, which I already know. Even at the intro level, some problems jump out at me, such as the sudden addition of past tenses, when presumably the beginner doesn't know the present tense yet.
At first, I was able to record, but that suddenly quit on me, and now I can't. It doesn't matter too much, since I was getting 100% every time on my accent. I will try to manage without that feature. Headphones wouldn't help, since I can hear fine; I just can't record. I would like to advance, but don't see it happening.

Hi Barbara - The tabs to the different Levels are on the left hand side at the top. You can do the lessons in any order, there are no restrictions. If you are still having difficulty please contact customer support for more info. Also, we do recommend that people use a headset microphone or the free app/s for best results with voice recognition!
I've tried a number of language learning systems, and Rocket Spanish is by far the best fit for me. I've already recommended it to a number of friends.
Learning spanish has been made really easy for me with the help of rocket spanish. I used to think i would have to go to a spanish school to learn the language but when i came across rocket spanish, it changed my ideology completely.
Gracias mucha guys.
I am an ESL teacher and I purchased both French and Spanish for my homeschoolers. I am impressed with how much they have learned and retained. We have tried many other programs and apps, but none seemed to have all parts of language learning offered. Rocket Languages is easy to use and helps to train the ear to native speaking. I like that it also encompasses reading, writing, and some parts of grammar without being overdone with endless drills. The only thing I would change is through the use of pictures to reinforce vocabulary possibly in a vocabulary flashcard sort of way. Overall a great program!
Today is my 100th consecutive day [I am on 13.1] I am so glad I purchased RS.

I researched a variety of Spanish learning options. I decided I needed a solid, well-thought-out program that would be my every single day go-to “class”. I get to read as I listen (visual learner) and then I do their Activities. Later I use many other inputs (podcasts, youtube, readers, duolingo story, children’s bible) with my interest (bees, surfing, running) being the guide and allow myself to hop around on a whim.
With the confidence I gained, I finally cooked up enough courage and began using ConversationExchange. This has led me to ‘just going for it’ with locals I think might be monolingual Sp speakers. My Sp is ‘not perfect’, but I can communicate and I am improving every day, and having fun!
Some highlights of RS for me: I can listen on my trail runs and biking, interesting hosts/topics, Activities (what you sow is what you reap), ‘pep-talk’ section, cogent, computer or phone, convenience. It forced me/allowed me to develop my listening/speaking at my own pace and comfort level. Hopefully next summer will be covid-safe to visit Costa Rica and I will have completed Level 3 (with lots of review also) and I will be even stronger with my Sp.
I am just starting and find the format very well organized. I speak English, dutch, German, French and yes, luxembourgeois. the last one I picked up phonetically and surprise, it is the only language without a dutch accent. I am now working on Spanish and like the format very much. I also appreciate to be able to see the written text and to be able to have some dictation. In summary after five days I love the course.
I researched many programs before my decision to buy Rocket Languages and am very happy with my decision to go with this one. I really like all the reinforcement they offer from pronunciation, flash cards, spelling reinforcement, explanations of masculine and feminine usage, listening and responding to conversations and much more. It is thorough and complete in its instruction. I chose Spanish as I have many Hispanic friends to practice with and love visiting Central and South America. I have already recommended this course to several friends. They have a free trial too which i took advantage of and is a great offer to see if you are comfortable with the structure. I am completely satisfied.
