If you need to teach Spanish to your darlings, I have a recommendation for you: Rocket Spanish. They also offer Arabic, Korean, Chinese, Russian and a few other languages.
Someone recommended it to me and I am in the middle of their 6 day free, no obligation trial. So far I really really like it.
I like the way they systematically teach grammar and usage and emphasized speaking/hearing. They say "they take the sentence apart and put it back together again".
They have quizzes, vocab, etc in each lesson. You print a pdf for each lesson with vocab and explanation. Conversation and culture is built in daily. It's very user friendly. I personally wouldn't have my kids do it on their own since I want to learn what they are learning, speak with them, etc. Memories, right? But at least I don't have to know what I'm doing. I'll just follow their lead. I like that!
Cost is $249 for 3 levels through the trial promotional price (I personally think this covers 2 years of high school Spanish) . $99 for level 1.
There are approx 190 total lessons in all 3 levels. They start past and future tenses in level 2. (level 1 has 55 lessons, level 2 has 65 lessons, level 3 has 67 lessons). Abeka started past and future in year 2.
I just spent three hours playing around on the free trial provided by Rocket Spanish and I feel like I've already made advances toward understanding and speaking the language. Extremely user-friendly, and considering I have never studied Spanish before, I feel very confident in what and how I am learning.
Rocket Spanish is something awesome. I often notice that while studying, I am tired. Even though I am tired, I am still studying. I don't quit when I get tired, but only when I am completely exhausted. Just when I think it is easy it begins to challenge me. I like the combination of recording my voice to compare with a native speaker and writing the response to what I am hearing all in the same place. In addition, each time I am able to access my current ability with each individual response. It is super.
Rocket Spanish covers everything. The pronounciation is great. The exercises are on target. I wish I had more time to spend with it, because it is so high-quality. I'm glad you've made this available to learn from.
Cristian is a well educated Argentinian who understands grammar, syntax and idiomatic speech as basic elements of language. For me, as a self taught person, his contribution is to help me assemble all the bits and pieces of Spanish that I have had so much difficulty using until now. In general, I highly recommend a tutor, not as a replacement for hard work, but as a live authority who can make sense of the endless exceptions, irregularities and idiomatic usages. I want to speak Spanish not make it into a hobby and Cristian is equipped to help me do that. I recommend his services.
Rocket Spanish is a very thorough methodology for beginners. It is exceptional in stressing a logical presentation of conversational Spanish using drills in audio, written, spoken and timed exercises. I have tried many formats over the past two years and find this has created a more memorable framework for my learning process.
Rocket Language is a great site, it is easy to use, I can log in from anywhere, but most of all I love that I can learn to how to write in Spanish because I have to do this as part of this learning tool!
I have used other "popular" language learning software products in the past and they pale in comparison to the quality and depth of Rocket Languages. I particularly like the cultural immersion components. This product rocks!!!
A very disappointing course. May I suggest that you review the free DUOLINGO course and try and learn from them. I have also found many errors in the text. No, I do not intend to go back through and innumerate them for you.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Ian - Rocket Spanish had a full review in 2016, I would hope that everything is fine now! (Update 2020: We are going through another full review of Rocket Spanish right now, this should be complete by June 2020)
