Rocket Languages Reviews

The course is amazing! It has really helped to expand my vocabulary in Spanish, and serves as an excellent adjunct for learning how to conduct actual conversations in the language. Kudos to your program!

Rocket languages is an excellent application to improve your 2nd language especially it allows you to record and hear your voice after you hear it from the native speaker, you can also write, and compare your mistakes after hinting them

I find the Rocket Fuel a timely reminder and a great way to keep learning even though I have backed off a bit on my lessons now that summer is here and Mexico is a while away. With time between lessons it is still easy to step right back into the lessons.

I love RocketSpanish! It provides such great tools for learning a new language. I am a medical student learning Spanish for the purpose of actual conversation, and this program teaches me what I need to know! I love the design. It's very user friendly. I got it on Cyber Monday sale, definitely the biggest bang for my buck!

Very easy and fun to use and this is actually making learning a language enjoyable! I even have my 9 year old son learning with me so we can practice together. I also like that I can go back to previous lessons to keep reviewing them.

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.

I was born and raised in Deming, NM. My Mother is full blooded Hispanic as well as one of my sisters , but my Dad is Norwegian, but I was brought up bilingual with my two sisters and had to use it in my work. I worked in a hospital and a doctors office. I greatly miss the NM weather, but love the southern comfort. I'm proud to be bilingual!

My family and I are currently in Mexico and are working on learning Spanish. Since this program starts with useful phrases, like how to ask for help or how to order coffee, it has been much more helpful than something like the popular owl-themed language app. (Why do so many programs want to teach me to talk about elephants? Not helpful!) Rocket Spanish also uses the type of Spanish that is actually spoken, unlike the Spanish I learned in high school, and the audio is a native speaker, not a computer-generated voice. My twelve year old daughter and I both like it, and the price is reasonable. A video element would be nice, but focusing on listening and speaking is fine considering the reasonable price and useful Spanish. This seems like a good first step before moving on to teachers online or in-person lessons, and we are already getting to use what we learn in daily life here.

I just signed up for the free trail yesterday. I'm enjoying the course thus far. I love the way I can interact with the learning, and the way your program provides the reinforcement training.

I enjoy using Rocket Languages to practise my Spanish and learn more! It's a great way to improve your language of choice and review your existing knowledge :-) I have recommended Rocket Spanish to a friend of mine and will definitely spread a good word around in the future! Thank you everyone for an overall great learning experience :-)
