Rocket Languages Reviews

I have found it to be very helpful. Good pace. Lot’s of reinforcement of past learning lessons as you go forward. Would purchase again. Oriented to beginner. Well rated. Feel it is the best of available options. Gracias.

I have used the competition and it was okay. I learned a lot of words. The only problem was I had no idea how or why they went together and that was not okay. The Rocket program has filled the gap and the reinforcement exercises have helped tremendously!!

Great program and all at a very great price!! Muchas gracias!

This is the 3rd Rocket Languages course I have purchased. Italian, German and now Spanish. It is an amazing resource. I use other language courses, paid and free and nothing beats Rocket. Customer service is amazing and when I have a Language question, the tutors are amazing.
The 60% discount is amazing and that is when I buy.
My one wish is that "Play the Part was also developed for Italian and Spanish. Have not used Spanish Travelogue, but use Italian Travelogue. In the German course, they have play the part. Practical everyday life situations, so if it was added to the other Rocket courses wouldn't hesitate to purchase that addition as well.

I just started this course yesterday. So far I like it. It's nice to hear a playback of how I actually sound when repeating words in Spanish.

I enjoy the multifaceted way in which the program is presented.

Summary: It is most important to start SPEAKING a language as soon as possible to get comfortable with it. I think that Rocket does a decent job getting you ready with some key phrases, pronunciation, and review, but it overloads the learner with too much new vocabulary per lesson.

Format: I really like the audio format in a nice progressive pace and it's less 'cluttered' than the popular pod101 program. The review material is very well rounded, using audio, writing practice, spanish - english and english - spanish practice, plus flashcards (english - spanish).

Overall audio quality: Try the trial to hear them speak. Decide for yourself. In my opinion, Mauricio has a good accent and Carmen speaks slowly. Amy is a dork and I get a little tired of hearing her voice. Her Spanish makes me cringe. The "repeat after me" can be very rushed and I have to pause so that I get a chance to actually repeat a phrase.

Workload: The dialogues can be quite long (some almost 45 minutes!) and the practice has WAY too much vocabulary to absorb for one lesson. I'm currently doing a lesson in Level 2 that has 117 words.

Very happy with course. I’m doing all of it on my phone so website doesn’t reflect my lessons progress.
If I had to mention any one thing that’s been disappointing, it would be that I wish there were more interactive audio. Language and culture sections are good, but I find it difficult to click through them. Practice is Essential!
Overall very please with what I’ve learned to date. Seriously considering buying into next part of course.
Great program!

I've only been using this program one week. For now, the sale price made this a reasonable purchase. I am not computer savvy, so this online experience was convenient for someone like me. I didn't have to worry about downloading software and figuring out how to get it to work. I just log in and start learning right away. So far, I have enjoyed it very much.

Love this course. Even though I'm learning from English, which is also my second language, I feel I'm improving every time. French is actually my first language. Since I live in an English province, I got this one through my local library. Spanish will soon be my third language.

I use the audio lessons most. Haven't ever down loaded the documents. Too huge. Wish it was in book form and came with the program. I would have paid a little extra for that option I also like the girl. It is easier to understand her when she speaks spanish as she is not as fast as the native speakers.
