Rocket Spanish Reviews

I have been using Rocket Spanish for a while now, beginning with the second level, then, when I realized it was too advanced, moving back to level 1.

Overall, it has been very helpful to me. I like practicing the conversations, and once I got my microphone to work, the voice activities were great.

However, there are a few issues. First, until just recently, you were able to flag vocabulary words as you moved through a lesson that would then be stored in your saved vocabulary. But now I can't do that. I've reported the problem and have heard nothing back.

I did not get a "deal" when I joined, so I paid full price, which was a bit high compared to other programs.

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!!

it is very useful and exeleant for all learners.
we myanmar spanish lesrners are very proud to be your members. however,right now we are giving thanks your term.
muchisimas gracias por todos ayudos suyos.

I LOVE this course! It's hands-down one of the best ways to learn a new language. After learning new words in one lesson, the following lessons reinforces what has already been learned by allowing us to listen to a real conversation. So, we are not only memorizing words, we're getting a chance to hear the words spoken. We can listen to conversations over and over until we fully understand what is being said.

What is more, each segment that tests our knowledge etches the new words into our memories by writing the words out, saying the words out loud until they are properly pronounced, and reviewing them once again on flash cards. My favorite part, though, is being able to have a makeshift conversation. This is a great program that is worth every single cent!

I am so grateful for this because I have family friends who speaks Spanish to each other and I feel uneducated. But now, I can maintain a conversation and it feels great to know that we can communicate with each other. This program has helped me more than any teacher I had in my high school and I wish I had something like this in my time. And there was this one time that I went into a store and there were a small group of men looking at me and talking to each other in Spanish and I desperately wanted to know what they were saying. I can’t believe that I can actually understand what I can in Spanish. I’ve only had this for a few days, maybe a week at the most but I already have gotten pretty far with learning. The only thing I am worried about is forgetting Spanish. I would 10/10 recommend this to anyone trying to learn Spanish. This has made everything so much easier. Download it today guys, it’s totally worth every penny and if you try hard enough, you will learn Spanish in almost no time as long as you have the dedication.

As a language educator for almost 20 years, I can really appreciate the hard work that has gone into the Rocket courses. One part that stands out is the dialogs with the sentence focus and the interactivity with them. The conversations seem quite useful and the 'extra vocabulary' (read: extra expressions) for each lesson are great. When learning any language, improving vocabulary is necessary (of course), the key is doing so in the context of sentences and life-like situations which make them truly more memorable and enjoyable! Rocket does that.

Suggestions to further improve the experience would be:
- Using the audio from section "6. Play it!" provide an additional download 'button' for the role-play's audio only, this is in addition to the entire lesson with the English explanations like you do at the start of each lesson. That would be so helpful to listen to and playback while in the car or on the bus etc.
- 75% speed button for dialogs. Having the option to go a little slower with some of the sentences is really handy to pick up on the exact sounds and then reproduce them.
- End of module review of some type. It could be simply a random selection of content from each subsection and exercise type.

Rocket Spanish is far and away the best online Spanish course I have ever come across. After doing a ton of research, reading reviews, comparing what you got, the price, and more, I chose to purchase Rocket Spanish. It is a choice I have not questioned.

Over the years I have recommended Rocket Languages to anyone looking to learn a foreign language, at all different levels. Those folks who took my advice have been more than satisfied with their purchase.

As with any course, if you don't put in the time, it doesn't matter how good the course. This is so true with Rocket Spanish as well. When I actually dedicate myself to spending the time with Rocket Spanish, it comes very easily. This was never the case when I was "learning" a foreign language in school.

I am 67 years old and currently living in the Dominican Republic. That being said, I felt it necessary to take on the project of learning a foreign language to better communicate with the peoples of the DR. The challenge living in the DR is that they bastardize their language. Dominicans drop off letters, change pronunciations, you name it. This also changes from one part of the Country to another.

Awesome interactive experience for those wanting to learn a new language and cultural background! The fact that it is free is even more beneficial for users. I have been trying to pick up on Spanish for the longest time and I feel this is such an easy system for users to become comfortable using.

Well, this is not awesome, actually. Just a couple of things.
1) First of all I am very pleased with the product overall. I don't have much to compare it to as it is the first time I have purchased a language program. But I did sign up for trial periods for several and I thought Rocket was the best overall. So I am pleased.

2) However, I acted too quickly to purchase during my trial period because only 2 days after making my purchase the product went on sale. I called customer service twice (never got to talk to a real person either time) and had to leave a message as there was no one to answer the phone. I wanted to see if I could get the sale price. To this day I still have not gotten a call back. So...kinda disappointed in the customer service actually. Maybe next time I won't act so quickly. : /
