Rocket Languages Reviews

I'm very happy with this Spanish program. I have tried several others and been disappointed with the level of instruction -- some focus primarily on vocabulary, others on writing, for example. This one gives you a sense of the language and, importantly, how it is used in real life. And it is fun. I don't think I am easily manipulated, but I have to say that the point system, "streak" reporting and badges do keep me going.

I like most of the teaching methods, and my favorite is being able to participate in conversations. Exceptions: I don't think the five-question quizzes are particularly effective; there are too few questions and they are extremely easy. I use the flashcards once per lesson (to get credit!), but I think Anki is a much better flashcard service and I use that much more.

With that preamble, here are some suggestions:

* Although the pronunciation checker is pretty amazing, it is still somewhat inaccurate. I get words wrong and it often still scores me 100%, even with the checking level at "Hard". More frustrating is that sometimes it just won't accept my (perfect!) pronunciation no matter what I do.

I purchased Rocket Languages last year, but haven't had much of a chance to practice. I emailed the question if there is a time limit that I must learn my language by. They quickly responded that I have a Lifetime membership. That is what I was expecting, and what they delivered. Very Good. I encourage others to buy their language product and not be worried about how long it takes to learn. And that even includes any changes and improvements that they make to the course in the future.

With that type of Customer Service, they can be trusted!!

It is a very good website but the prices are way too high and this website should be free instead of people paying to learn

A fun and straight forward way to learn Spanish properly! Is has different aspects so you can learn to write the language as well as speak it. It is also well thought out and very user friendly! Recommended!

I use this program every time I return to Colombia. The content and presentation are excellent. I have recommended this to all of my friends who dream of being conversant in Spanish.

Enjoying the course so far. Think I've finally found something, that I will stick with. Hope I will get to fluency! :)

Very nice interface, It is much more comprehensive than the other products available on the market. Best used combined with iTalki

I tried the interactive lesson on planning an activity for the weekend. I was disappointed as I thought it would be interactive enough to the extent that if would allow me to repeat the phrase/sentence/word after the spanish speaker and have him correct my pronunciations. It does give me time to repeat after him but without the correction of pronunciation, it left me wanting.

Rocket Spanish really holds your hand to get you learning. And when you slack-off, up pops an email to get you going again. I practice here and then test myself on my long-suffering Spanish neighbours!
