So far the pace is overwhelming. I think I would retain more if the lessons were cut in half. Half the time with half the amount of new words. I am also finding some bad issues with the voice recognition. I'm considering going to something lower paced. I don't care if it takes me longer to finish a course. I'm not retaining enough at the pace.

Thank you for your honest feedback, Wayne. We understand that everyone learns at a different pace, and it’s important to feel comfortable with the amount of material in each lesson. You might find it helpful to break lessons into smaller chunks and review them as often as needed before moving on. We also appreciate your comments about voice recognition; please contact our support team at [email protected]. We'd be happy to see what we can do to help!
Fantastic program - more than just repeating phrases. Really helps to get you into not just pronouncing it correctly but learning how to spell and the grammar.
Very good course. Lots of content. Sometimes the solo speaking section is a bit redundant. Simulated dialogue would be most helpful.

Thank you for your feedback, Michael! In our early Rocket Spanish modules, we aim to keep things simple with plenty of practice opportunities so the phrases you're learning truly stick. If you're looking for something a bit more challenging, check out Rocket Spanish Play the Part—it's based on a variety of authentic conversations you might encounter if you lived in a Spanish-speaking country!
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..

We're here to help and would love the opportunity to improve your experience.
Decent program, the voice recording and speak detection leaves a lot to be desired but at least it gets you to speak. My main issue is with the module tests at the end of the lessons, they crash and reset the entire test once you get to the end of a section. It is not worth doing.

Hi Brian - We sent you an email asking for more clarification on the Module Tests issue. We haven't had any other reports of issues with this so would be keen to get to the bottom of it.
Rocket Spanish gives me the structure that I need in learning Spanish. There are opportunities to speak, read, and write in Spanish. The real-world conversations in the lessons are excellent. It is also very motivating to progress through each stage. I am truly enjoying the pace with each lesson. If you want to learn and developing a solid foundation in the Spanish language and Latin American culture. Rocket Spanish is for you.

Thank you for your review, James. We're glad to hear that Rocket Spanish is ticking all the boxes in your language-learning journey!
Well structured and a good pace. The lessons are difficult enough that you want to lean more but not so difficult that they make you want to give up. Customer service for a product this large is insanely responsive. Overall, I have learned more in one level of this course than I did in 4 years of studying at school.

We're glad you are enjoying the course and learning lots. Keep up the good work and you'll be speaking fluently in no time!
The app has continuous glitches that the owners are not able to fix. The program is great, but the actual functionality is horrible.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Tyah - Unfortunately there are so many different types of phone, screen sizes, operating systems, etc that it can be hard to get apps working perfectly across the board. If you contact customer support we will try our best to troubleshoot your system.
very easy to follow and I am finding myself retaining words
on a scale of 1-10 i'd give it a 6... or 7?? It's pretty good.
