Rocket Languages Reviews

i seem to be getting addicted to this tool. to an extent where i could comfortably spend hours at a stretch with no complain. going back to the lesson completed is again a new experience and listening to the audios do help in recapturing certain pronunciations which was missed earlier. loving every moment. don't even miss watching TV.

I have tried to speak Spanish for years, buying into memorizing vocabulary with its gender and count, listing verb conjugation, breaking down tense usage, and referencing dictionary check. And yet, no matter how much I applied myself, I would fail miserably at sentence structure. I could not relate my thoughts to others. I struggled with verb tenses relative to mood and emotion. I used multiple verb sets to indicate mood. I was lost and would quit trying. There were times I would focus so intently on a conversation, a headache would result.

Rocket Language put my focus on communicating in Spanish, not memorization and grammar. Initially, I realized that learning how to pronounce Spanish words (sounds) enabled others to identify my spoken words and thereby understand my attempts to speak to them. I placed more emphasis in this area. I discovered that now, I could identify words spoken by a fluent spanish talker that were spoken to me. I realized that simple learned conversational phrases could be modified and combined to fit a variety of life's situation. More learned verbs could be used to convey more ideas, gain information and fluency.

This is the best spanish course I have found. I have tried Rosetta stone, group classes, baselang, and even a private tutor and my spanish has advanced the quickest with this course. I listen to the audio lessons on the way to work and find them very beneficial.

Overall, definitely gets you "speaking" quite a bit. The great majority of this, however, is just rote copying of what was just heard. Regurgitation, not processing and internalizing. The rest is straight translation, which in my opinion is a far inferior way to learn a language. A good number of lessons use words/phrases/tenses that have never been discussed and are simply not explained. There are quite a few glitches with speech recognition, especially regarding numbers and accent marks. The material is HEAVILY focused on travel, which I get makes some sense if you're learning Spanish in order to travel, but I suspect a large number of people are like me, learning Spanish to use in everyday life. May just be a US bias though, where Spanish can be very useful almost everywhere.

This is my second Spanish course on-line. It is very user friendly and albeit only one week in I am finding myself learning much more than the previous course (unnamed) I took. Rocket Spanish is easy to navigate and is composed of multiple learning methods. Well done!

This a fantastic learning tool for me. Me gusta para it a in grupo de Espanol cada semana. Yo soy entiendo com amigos ingles. Yo tengo in accento Espanol de Madrid! Pedro no es una problemo para me. Yo comprendo Maurice pefectamente.
Quiere saber mas parabolas espanolas porque estan x muy important.

Soy fatigue ahora entonces I will write in english now. I stopped using this course for a long time, but now I have come back because speaking Spanish is the most important aspect of learning. Tohave a conversation in Spanish is quite tough if you struggle over vocabulary. Of course grammar is also important, but if you have a very limited vocabulary that,s a very big handicap.

I find reading a simple. story in a parallel text book intended for children is a testing exercise but satisfying too.
I’ve read Journey to the Centre of the earth by Jules Verne and Adventures of Tom Sawyer

This website is overpriced and a bit overrated.

This review pertains to Rocket Spanish and the Android APP. The short version is I am very happy with the format and content. My rate of learning has increased significantly since I started using Rocket Spanish. I will discuss the pros below and the several cons that keep this from being a 5 star rating.
After using Doulingo daily for 2 years (almost no missed days!) I am able to read some Spanish and have a fairly good vocabulary but cannot understand spoken spanish or speak Spanish well at all. I knew I needed something more to take it to the next level. After much research I decided on Rocket Spanish.
The pros:
Right away I am speaking Spanish sentences.
I can “hear” Spanish better. This has been the most fun for me because I feel I can understand TV, radio, and regular people (to some extent) so much better.
I love the lesson format. Hear it, say it, write it, know it (memory recall), and then the flash cards. I love the flash cards. The test portion is weak. Not going say it is a con but its 5 easy questions that don’t change if you redo the test.
I get as much help as I want on correctly annunciating the words. This is huge. I love that I can spend as much time as I want on correctly saying the words.

Rocket Spanish has been pretty awesome so far.
Though you might be frustrated at first by all the
stuff shoved in at once. You'll eventually learn to
love it.

I am an ESL teacher and I purchased both French and Spanish for my homeschoolers. I am impressed with how much they have learned and retained. We have tried many other programs and apps, but none seemed to have all parts of language learning offered. Rocket Languages is easy to use and helps to train the ear to native speaking. I like that it also encompasses reading, writing, and some parts of grammar without being overdone with endless drills. The only thing I would change is through the use of pictures to reinforce vocabulary possibly in a vocabulary flashcard sort of way. Overall a great program!
