Rocket Languages Reviews

Very detailed description and pronunciation. love the variety of activities

I am finally learning Spanish. Love the way it is organized. This is an enjoyable experience.

I'm enjoying Rocket Languages. I'm only on level 1 but I can go back and work on words and phrases until I get it right. If I want to learn a different language i will definitely buy it from Rocket.

I am very happy with the organization of this course. Everything is covered. I am learning to speak, read, write, and add to my vocabulary. I enjoy the information about culture. I wonder if it is possible to add more practice with verbs? The preterit is so difficult.

Thirty years ago, I used Pimsleur tapes purchased by my employer and local university continuing education classes that they paid for. I did obtain sufficient fluency at the time which worked well traveling to Mexico. But, "use it or lose it" caught up to me. I want to regain where I was and go further. With Spanish podcasts, other Internet options and Spanish cable channels, "using it so as not to lose it" is more available. And, I now have some "locals" who I know that have Spanish as their first language or, are like me, and "don't want to lose it" again. We meet every week to have coffee or tea and to chat with each other. It is a great way to meet new people and to bring people together! Finally, en español, "Deseo hacer un viaje a Ecuador y las islas de Galapagos, y tambien, un viaje a Costa Rica con "Habitat for Humanity". Me gustaria hablar en su lengua."
¡Muchas gracias, Rocket Spanish! ¡Amy and Mauricio "Rock It"!

It would be helpful for a quick reference vertical bar on the left for key word reference related to that page.
For example presently when doing flashcards and beyond it is an effort to scroll way back up the page to find the correct words.

Bueno, it's strange that Rocket is asking me for a review when I am only using the trial lesson. However, I can say that after three years of struggling to learn Spanish and not getting very far, this feels right. I have used DuoLingo, Fluencia and Synergy Spanish in the past, as well as a mixture of discovered things like Youtube videos and SpanishDict. The best is Synergy Spanish, but this is like Synergy Spanish on steroids. The listening, the speaking, the explanations, and the repetition in each lesson really feels like it is right on for a good learning experience. I also love they they allow a free trial without demanding a credit card first. I absolutely abhor companies that do that and do not do business with them. The free trials allowed me to discover that I need to start at level 2, which I will buying shortly.

It's my first day to learn Spanish and I have to say, I like this Rocket Spanish.

I started a month ago. I had a base knowledge from Spanish 1, 25 years ago in high school. I have wanted to learn the language and recently got a job with half of my clients from Mexico. After a month of an hour a day, I am able to take care of Spanish speaking clients with what I have built up. I really find the Rocket experience to be exceptional. Starting with the 20 minute conversation/breakdown and the audio bits of saying it back is tremendous. I am currently struggling with lesson 1.10 (which I believe is a turning point). I do believe there is a gigantic jump from everything to this particular lesson. It would be my only knock up to this point as I feel like I missed a sentence structure lesson. That being said I will keep at it. My studies have paid off thus far and can not wait to continue my journey.

Starting from beginning Spanish i was thrown off the cliff suddenly with complete sentences. There is no bridging the gap from rudimentary words to complete sentences. Need to work alongside with google translate.. Frustrating.
