Rocket Spanish Reviews

I have been working with the free trial for over a month, and even using it every day, there was a lot of free material given to really get a "feel" for the course. I have fallen in love with it, and just purchased the Premium Package today. For me, speaking and understanding are my weakest points, and in my opinion, this is where Rocket Language outshines every other program. Those "live" role-playing exercises are intense, and really give me a rush when I can successfully get through even the level one part of the conversation.
My only issue is having to use Chrome, I was on Chrome when I tried to purchase the package, and it kept screwing up my information, I finally had to go over to Safari and purchase it there, then go through switching the program to Chrome - it was irritating.
However, that is a minor complaint concerning the purchase and log-in process and has nothing to do with the amazing content Rocket has to offer.
Also, I have to add, while I was having hassles with the login, I called customer support and they are absolutely amazing! No robots, I got to a real person right away who fixed the issue immediately, was nice and funny and very friendly.

I've been using the Rocket Spanish for 53 days, and while it has some good points, it's not an effective program for learning Spanish. The co-host, Mauricio, does not speak clearly enough for a beginner to understand, and there are some times when he is clearly not saying the sentence that is on the screen. I might recommend this program for business travelers, since that is mainly what the lessons are about (getting a hotel, booking a flight, ordering in a restaurant), but even then, you won't become fluent. You will just learn what you need to know to get around in that country. I've just requested a refund.

Lessons are good for a starting point of your own research. I pause multiple times throughout audio to find out more details/explanation.
I'm on lesson 4.1 and sometimes it feels that they just force you to memorize phrases rather explain word formation and grammar. Maybe it comes later, but it would be easier to memorize if you have some formed structure in your head. So far so good.

After only three weeks studying with Rocket Languages I had my first trip to Spain. I was amazed just how much I had picked up in that time, certainly in the amount that I could read and words I could pick out of conversations I heard from people around me or from watching the TV.

There was definitely a pronunciation problem which I think is mostly me and some coming from the fact that the locals (in Granada) pronounced some words differently from the audio in the lessons. However, starting a conversation with a local in their own tongue always goes a long way rather than blurting out in English. Now I can't wait to learn some more and my next trip back to Spain.

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 got a great deal on Rocket Spanish and I LOVE the program. This is by far the most helpful language course I have seen. I took four years of Spanish in high school and two in college, but I would argue that this is much more effective than my courses in high school or college.

This is the best spanish course I have found. I have tried Rosetta stone, group classes, baselang, and even a private tutor and my spanish has advanced the quickest with this course. I listen to the audio lessons on the way to work and find them very beneficial.

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.

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 !

Excellent product.
