Rocket Spanish Reviews

Relatively inexpensive one-time purchase, not a subscription that you have to keep paying for. Also a straightforward teaching method that tells you what is being taught, not making you guess/wonder. Lessons are clear- no ambiguity, no need to use a separate Spanish-English dictionary. Also the ability to record lessons to CD so you can play then in your car as you drive, without requiring you to watch pictures or animations. Also, Rocket Languages sends additional lesson tidbits via email - I haven’t seen that from anyone else. Lots of nice features in an effective learning package.

I have been learning Spanish for quite some time now, but was looking for something to help advance my talking and listening skills. I had considered Rosetta Stone, but that received mixed reviews. Impartial websites consistently gave great reviews for Rocket Spanish, and I can see why. It is quite pricey compared to some language courses (I think it was about £90 all in). That, however, is a fraction of the cost of Rosetta Stone, which doesn't let you keep your learning material after the year is up. With Rocket Languages, you get a lifetime of access to materials. There is an audio conversation at the start which introduces you to new words and phrases at a reasonable rate, then there are tests ranging from listen and repeat to listen and write. I like how you can "speak" to the characters by taking on the part of others and then listen to your conversation at the end. It is good to know how you sound when you speak Spanish. This is the best language course I have ever used and I don't hesistate to recommend it.

I just started, I have no idea how I could rate your software at the present time. I do like that the program seems that I will be able to read and write as well becoming fluent. I expect the flash cards will serve me well. I have used them quite frequently in the past.

Rocket Spanish is pretty good. It's certainly better than other programs I have tried. Every so often it tests you on words you haven't learned. In one case it ends Module 1 with a survival kit of a list of 300 words, then assumes you know them in Module 2. This is ludicrous. One or two lessons refer to a beginners' book that is not included. The good part is the interactive call and response and the ability to easily go back and review lessons so you don't forget as much as you move on. Most words reoccur in several lessons so you don't forget. A few are not.

Super super super . First online I use for learning language. It is addictive , easy to use . can´t stop studying. Exercising ( 1 to 1 with native speakers) will definitely help. To everyone : Writing , speaking aloud could be my suggestion.

Their customer service is awesome, I made a mistake on my purchase and they quickly resolved the issue! Awesome customer service! Their program is very content rich, I am excited to dig in and learn Spanish!

The lessons are good, but I'm finding the speaking exercises very frustrating. The voice recognition does not work very well. The exercises require repeating over and over because the voice recognition is so poor. I'm not saying my pronunciation is great or anything, but it isn't as bad as the software shows. It slows down the lesson and makes it a drag.

I love the verbal play back Where is in English at the bottom as Spanish it to top that's great those phrases You should be able to have a star by that if you wanna replay To work when it later weeks I used a program on the road because I'm a commercial driver the filling my time while I'm on the road is a great little device

Rocket Spanish is well organized and fairly easy to use. I definitely like the experience and the process. HOWEVER - They are very wishy-washy with the meanings of phrases. In an effort to teach you different phrases to say the same thing, the designers forget that words have meaning. For example, early in the lessons you discuss someone's job. They tell you that the question, "What do you do?" can be asked ?Que haces?, which is correct. Unfortunately, they also tell you that you can say, ?En que trabajas?, which is not correct. That phrase means, "What is your work?". It may sound like I'm knit-picking, bc in the context of the conversation, either phrase will do, but it is confusing when I don't know what you are asking for. In the testing, it asks me to say in Spanish "What do you you?", but it says that I was incorrect bc I responded ?Que haces?. - WHICH IS CORRECT!! The designer of the course wanted me to say ?En que trabajas?. The student isn't a mind reader, and when he/she tries to apply the words learned, it is easy to get confused. Again, words have meaning. It is lazy to say that it is "close enough", when it is in-fact no where near what you are trying to say.
