Rocket Languages Reviews

The training is very good with practical everyday phrases to learn and repeat whenever I have the time.
The voice recognition in the "hear it, say it" becomes either deaf or impaired of hearing even though the answers are correct, as the software refuses to recognise my pronunciation.

I have only been doing spanish rocket languages for a fortnight but I really enjoy this way of learning!
It is varied and informative.
I had a couple of queries and these were answered very quickly!
Very impressed so far!

I have been working with the free trial for over a month, and even using it every day, there was a lot of free material given to really get a "feel" for the course. I have fallen in love with it, and just purchased the Premium Package today. For me, speaking and understanding are my weakest points, and in my opinion, this is where Rocket Language outshines every other program. Those "live" role-playing exercises are intense, and really give me a rush when I can successfully get through even the level one part of the conversation.
My only issue is having to use Chrome, I was on Chrome when I tried to purchase the package, and it kept screwing up my information, I finally had to go over to Safari and purchase it there, then go through switching the program to Chrome - it was irritating.
However, that is a minor complaint concerning the purchase and log-in process and has nothing to do with the amazing content Rocket has to offer.
Also, I have to add, while I was having hassles with the login, I called customer support and they are absolutely amazing! No robots, I got to a real person right away who fixed the issue immediately, was nice and funny and very friendly.

It's a slow process, but. I am learning, little by little.

The package is very well organized and well-planned, but I find it confusing. After completing Duolingo and Santamaria's Synergy Spanish, I'm not finding my proper level in Rocket Spanish and the system doesn't let me move ahead. The first third seems to me not useful to someone who is at the early intermediate stage, and I can't find a way to get into the second level. Instead, I keep getting just the intro material, which I already know. Even at the intro level, some problems jump out at me, such as the sudden addition of past tenses, when presumably the beginner doesn't know the present tense yet.

At first, I was able to record, but that suddenly quit on me, and now I can't. It doesn't matter too much, since I was getting 100% every time on my accent. I will try to manage without that feature. Headphones wouldn't help, since I can hear fine; I just can't record. I would like to advance, but don't see it happening.

I tried the intro lesson, and it wasn't enjoyable. When practicing pronunciation, I would fail to pronounce a word, but I would get 100%. I have a good microphone, but I had to yell to get half of what was said recorded. When it did show, I said 100% the playback would only have recorded 50% of what I said. I was yelling most of the time, which was really irritating. I practiced writing skills without knowing special characters, so I got most of the words wrong, although I had all the necessary letters.
I absolutely hated yelling into the microphone and then hearing a partial version of what I had yelled. So far, I hate Rocket Spanish. I completed the lessons, and if not for the fact that I had heard many of the basic words in the past, I would not have remembered most of what I learned. Thankfully, I am on a trial. Thank you, Rocket, for the trial period. I will continue the trial one more time and then give Babbel a try, trusting their money-back guarantee..

Better than Rosetta Stone! Best language learning program that I've tried. And free access using my library card. What's better than that!?!

I LOVE this course! It's hands-down one of the best ways to learn a new language. After learning new words in one lesson, the following lessons reinforces what has already been learned by allowing us to listen to a real conversation. So, we are not only memorizing words, we're getting a chance to hear the words spoken. We can listen to conversations over and over until we fully understand what is being said.

What is more, each segment that tests our knowledge etches the new words into our memories by writing the words out, saying the words out loud until they are properly pronounced, and reviewing them once again on flash cards. My favorite part, though, is being able to have a makeshift conversation. This is a great program that is worth every single cent!

This is a really nice and structured start program. I'm just beginning to learn Spanish, and this has helped me get started with the basics.

I really love this course. I had studied Spanish in school and later using different apps, and this course brings together all the best parts of all the other methods I have tried and adds more. It is amazingly effective and comprehensive, and I wish I had come across it sooner.
