Rocket Spanish Reviews

The accent is laughable. As in, my spanish friends couldn't stop laughing. It's Mexican spanish, in a bad accent. The plays and lessons are mired in stereotypes, sexist, and awful. As far as actually learning Spanish goes, I'm struggling on with it, but I can't say it's really helped so far. Hopefully it will start sticking, but having spent six weeks in Madrid recently, I didn't feel this course helped me at all, and I was still struggling with even the most basic conversations. There doesn't seem to be any background to the lessons, or intricacies of the verbs and their conjugations, which are just brushed over.
I've paid for it now, so will keep persevering for the moment, but I regret the purchase.

Rocket Spanish is a program that you have to be able to dedicate your time to. If you are not dedicated toward going through the material you will not learn like you should. If you are willing to put in the time you will get there. You can not just listen to a lesson each day. You need to learn the lesson you have that day and then you are done for the day. The material is solid but the will power to cover the material has to be there. Long story short, you will get what you put in.

I researched quite a bit before purchasing the entire Rocket Languages Spanish Program, and the free trial cinched the deal for me.
Like any program that relies heavily on voice recognition, it has its difficulties with certain sounds, but I'm learning the idiosyncrasies, and there are easy workarounds. I did purchase a decent headset to work with, and that is helping a lot.
I'm not entirely new to Spanish. I've been playing around with some free programs for about a year, but even at my basic level, I was outgrowing their usefulness. I was able to start Rocket Languages at Premium Plus Level 2, and it's a good starting place for me.
I'm really look forward to my daily lessons and practice, and--in just a few short days--I'm already noticing improvement.

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.

Although Rocket Languages tells a good story, waiting 2 days for an answer to a question is ridiculous! For this reason alone I could not in good
conscience recommend it to someone learning their first foreign language

I have tried many other options for learning Spanish but am really enjoying the approach the Rocket languages course provides. The ability to test the speaking element alongside the listening and writing means that you get a great all round approach to learning the language. It also jumps you straight in to learning useful vocabulary rather than grammatical rules (which I admit need to be learnt but as part of a broader process).

I purchased Rocket Spanish years ago. Its easy to use and follow. The lessons are brief so you can listen to a modules anytime. I often come back months later and review.
I highly recommend this to everyone.

Rocket Spanish has been a big surprise - it's one of the best language learning tools I have used hands down, and for the price is astonishing value. It's really unfortunate they have such a bad reputation with all the spammy affiliates and informercial-style marketing ("but wait, there's more!"). I only bought it after some hesitation and reading a few in-depth reviews from people I already trusted.

If you're on the fence about taking the plunge, look past the used-car-salesman marketing. The team that makes the actual courses is really good. They just need a new marketing department that don't use dodgy tricks, they can easily grow on the quality of the product instead.

I love Rocket Spanish! I mainly use it in my car, but I do use it a lot-almost every day. I have some background in Spanish and right now I am working on the first level of Rocket Spanish, which is mostly, but not all review.. When I get to the next level I will probably use the online lessons more in addition to the in the off-line car practice. The lessons in the first level have been very well done, covering useful areas of information. The voices are clear and go at an appropriate rate. The program uses excellent vocabulary development methods, which includes lots of repetition.

It's been about 6 weeks on Rocket Spanish. I'm having a blast learning Espanol. Overall I give it 5 stars.
My observations: introduction of a new word (noun, adjective, adverb, preposition - whatever) without any explanation (te, se, lo) is most disconcerting for me; asking a question when no answer has been provided in the lesson falls in the same category; also adding un-necessary sounds like 'a' before a word can be confusing, Mauricio is guilty of that - BUT these are really minor things and do NOT occur a lot.
I supplement my learning with Google translate and spanishdict.com/conjugation.
I stumbled on an error with the software which was adequately resolved although I was surprised it happened.
