Rocket Spanish Reviews

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.

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 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.

After trying to find a "base" program to center myself around learning Spanish, I've found it with Rocket Languages. This program contains useful conversations that you WILL use when traveling or living in a Spanish speaking country. Not only that, but it furthers your education by many forms of reinforcement. After listening to the lessons, it is very wise to keep going with the supplementary features that are offered. I find myself spending an additional 30 minutes on just the review.

I'll be honest, Rocket Language will not do the work for you, but it will give you a base to center your learning. You get what you put into this; you really do. If you have the desire, and the iron is hot, by all means, start with RL and engage as much as possible.

Aside from this positive review, the purchase is worth it. The material is excellent and gives you the confidence to improve your Spanish even further to a very possible fluent proficiency. I recommend RL al the way to anyone trying to further their Spanish speaking abilities or simply getting started.

I have had the Rocket Spanish Program for about 5 years now. In this time I have moved around the country between three different states and completed my master's degree. However, no matter how busy I seem to become, I have always had the desire to come back to these courses. I have tried other courses and for me, Rocket Spanish is the easiest and most realistic.

It teaches the language the way it is spoken and provides so much to help me perfect my usage. I really enjoy it and this time, I'm not stopping until I feel can carry on a conversation in Spanish as if I were speaking English. As my grandson says when he really likes something, "I loooooooove Rocket Spanish!

I have only been using the program for a short time but so far I love it. Compared to other popular language programs I have used, Rocket is the best. The only thing I would like to see added that this program lacks is, reading material. Most of the other programs provide short stories that progress with you as you learn.

I have been wanting to learn Spanish for several years and have had many false starts. I have just begun my journey with Rocket Spanish (am still in the first module) and have already learned more and feel more confident than ever before. I look forward every morning to my daily practice. This program is completely amazing as it uses a proven method of language acquisition - repetition, repetition! I am completely delighted!!!

Starting to learn Spanish at 67 years old is probably not the best time but so far so good.
I can't fault the teaching method or the software and I even enjoy even the frustrating time when my mind goes blank.

I love listening to the lessons in my car on the way to work! Instead of mindlessly listening to music in the car I can use that time to work on one of my goals. I have noticed significant improvement with my Spanish and plan to use rocket languages to start on my Russian soon.

This is the third online Spanish course I have tried and it is the very best I have found! I love the way the classes, verb forms, and vocabulary are organized thematically in lessons. I like the combination of auditory, written Spanish and verbal practice. This course does not require you to spell and insist on correct accent use in order to advance to the next lesson. This course also allows you autonomy to jump around and go back and listen to previous lessons. The conversations between the three narrators are entertaining and effective!
