Rocket Spanish Reviews

I first want to say that I have had a Rocket Spanish membership since 2008. I had let the product sort of go to the back of my Spanish learning toolbox as I was pursuing my degree in Social Work, and as part of this I had to take a language at my university, which of course, since my husband is from Mexico, I chose Spanish. I did, too, purchase Rosetta Stone, and have used that in addition to the classes I took at the university, however the one BIG difference between Rocket Spanish and Rosetta Stone is the subscription basis for the online component of Rosetta Stone. This has, over the time that I have used it, made Rosetta Stone extremely expensive. Recently I have started to use Rocket Spanish again, and after a little confusion in the online testing area (was not realizing that the "reveal" button was below the fold, so could not understand how to move forward) I have become completely enamored with it. So many nuances of the language were made clear by explanations that Amy gives as part of the audio portion of the program. Additionally the testing where the student takes the role of Amy or Mauricio is just fantastic.

Incredible ! Me and my wife are thoroughly enjoying a unique experience of how to learn the Spanish language with ease and enthusiasm...and we've only been using it for a couple of weeks..we just can't get enough of it ......

good lesson and well planned out for learning basic Spanish

Overall a decent program. I listened to the audio for the most part. The games started out being fun, but ended up being a little simple and repetitive. There are two things I would appreciate:
1. Organized sets of rules for verb conjugations, prepositions, etc. I ended up with several sheets from my high school Spanish class, and even though this program was so much better overall, this is the one thing that would've helped.
2. Simple videos, readings, or audio that is understandable from the current lesson and lessons before. Even if it was something like "See Jack run" it would be helpful and informative for Spanish learning.

Rocket Spanish has helped me to advance my conversational skills when I felt as if I was stuck. There is depth and variety to the learning experience which has really made a difference for me.

This is a fabulous course for beginners. I can literally see myself in situations given in the modules, interactive and lucid. Cultural lessons are also engaging. Overall it is good value for money.

I just started the advanced course and I find the conversation very difficult to follow. It is hard to
Understand because the speech is fast and slurred not clearly spoken. Especially when new words and phrases are used..
The first two courses don't prepare you well enough with verb conjugation either.

I enjoy learning with Rocket Spanish. I have acquired a large Spanish vocabulary. The only thing that I seem to be struggling with is my understanding of native speakers. I have to ask them to slow down. Which is probably caused mostly from my lack of exposure to native speakers.

Excellent program. Lots of repetition. I have trouble with Spanish pronunciation.

Only a beginner, on the first lesson, have spent 3 or so hours, reviewing words & phrases. I'm an old dog (60) and have some trouble retaining, such as spelling and remembering odd words like articles, and punctuation, so far, makes little sense. The extra phrases are hard, so far. I expect to build on those in the future, which should help. It's all new to me now, little to build on. Program works well and is immediately accessible. Have not used customer service yet but setup was fast and went perfectly — no problems.
