I have loved this program for learning a brand new language. The repeat of each new phrase has really helped me and the test, quizzes and games make it lots of fun! I want to learn another language because Rocket Language made this so easy
I absolutely love this program. It's up to you to learn. Everything is in this program. You never get bored with all that's offered for the price. Excellent price these folks have truly worked hard to perfect this program. I've been very happy with my progress and the format given by Rocket Languages. I'm so happy I've finally found the right fit for my needs.
Thanks Rocket for this program.
Very detailed/comprehensive with really good emphasis on lots of speaking and getting pronunciations correct. Lots of good additional contextual information and phrases. Strong focus on common everyday scenarios makes it really helpful/useful.
Rocket Spanish covers not just pictures of vocabulary but goes into grammar and other nuances of the language. It also allows you to hear the words spoken and use the words in speech. I found it to be better than Rosetta Stone.
I look forward to using Rocket Spanish every day. And now with the iPhone app, I can listen to the audio while I'm driving to work, and then study on the computer later. I am traveling to Spain in May, and can't wait to practice everything that I have learned so far!
This has been a good start to my Spanish pursuits. The material is easy to follow and helpful. I will have the big test when I travel to Ecuador in October but as of now I've been able t ocarry on conversations fairly well when the opportunity arrives in town.
This program has been amazing! I purchased it about three years ago and I can now easily have conversations in Spanish. I am told very often that I have very good Spanish by fluent speakers. I focused for a solid year and listened and studied to the material for about 3-4 hours a day. Spanish is not easy, but you can't give up or you will forget everything that you learned.
I started the program when my daughter was 8 months old because I wanted us both to learn Spanish. Once I started the program, I started only speaking to her in Spanish and I continue to ONLY speak to her in Spanish every day. Now my daughter is 3 1/2 years old and she can speak and understand Spanish perfectly. Without Rocket Spanish, we would've never learned how to speak Spanish which would've created a major language barrier between my daughter and her grandparents (my in-laws) because they do not know English. Now we are both able to communicate with our entire family, and now I am just perfecting my accent. Fortunately, my husband speaks fluent Spanish, but he couldn't teach me because I needed to understand the rules behind the language which he does not know. Rocket Spanish's grammar lessons were perfect and enabled me to understand the logic behind many of the common language errors (i.e, when to use the subjective tense).
I am constantly telling people about Rocket Spanish and I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn a language!!
Overall, definitely gets you "speaking" quite a bit. The great majority of this, however, is just rote copying of what was just heard. Regurgitation, not processing and internalizing. The rest is straight translation, which in my opinion is a far inferior way to learn a language. A good number of lessons use words/phrases/tenses that have never been discussed and are simply not explained. There are quite a few glitches with speech recognition, especially regarding numbers and accent marks. The material is HEAVILY focused on travel, which I get makes some sense if you're learning Spanish in order to travel, but I suspect a large number of people are like me, learning Spanish to use in everyday life. May just be a US bias though, where Spanish can be very useful almost everywhere.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Michael - Thanks for your review. There are differing viewpoints on what is the best way to learn a language and I am sure that it is different for different people. In our case, we try to provide a very comprehensive course that covers a variety of learning styles. On a side note; there has been an issue with the numbers returned from voice recognition not matching as they should, even if it was pronounced correctly. We are looking into that!
Rocket Languages is awesome for people with a lot of time on their hands, but the lessons are far too long for someone with a busy schedule. The Hear It Say It and Write It sections are absurdly long and time consuming. I wish it were at or below 50.
So let me tell you something. I have chosen Spanish for my GCSE'S and I have sucked at languages for the 3 years before picking it so I really needed to get something useful to let me get up of my idiot ground. This platform is really useful. the interaction is fun and the audio is really interesting. I don't really write reviews but, once again, this platform is useful.
