Rocket Languages Reviews

Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooollllllllll

Rocket (Spanish) is, I believe, a great language learning program. I say “I believe” because I have been using it a short time and have not successfully learned a Spanish, yet.

Pros:
I chose Rocket over courses from other companies because the trial demonstrated that it is more thorough.
It also seemed to focus on Mexican Spanish instead of European. Since I live in California, this is important to me.
The instructors are very clear and entertaining. Pro reviews say they are a bit cheesy but I do not think so.
A clean user interface that works well on my iOS devices. It is not as pretty as, say, Memrise or Duolingo, but it is well structured.
For my learning styles I feel the audio lesson, followed by an activity, flash cards, reading, writing and quiz is more thorough than any others have to offer.
Lessons are downloadable on my iOS devices, but...

Cons
...i stay in a hotel with poor wifi and although I download the lessons at home, for some reason my iPad (wifi only) will sit there and spin like its trying to stream the lesson, even though i had previously downloaded it, and this prevents me from even using the lesson at all when it does this
VERY EXPENSIVE. I paid almost $300 for the program for all levels lifetime.

After only three weeks studying with Rocket Languages I had my first trip to Spain. I was amazed just how much I had picked up in that time, certainly in the amount that I could read and words I could pick out of conversations I heard from people around me or from watching the TV.

There was definitely a pronunciation problem which I think is mostly me and some coming from the fact that the locals (in Granada) pronounced some words differently from the audio in the lessons. However, starting a conversation with a local in their own tongue always goes a long way rather than blurting out in English. Now I can't wait to learn some more and my next trip back to Spain.

I have just started Rocket Spanish and I am happy with the "get started" lesson.

I love Rocket Language because it actually gets me to speak Spanish. I have learned from more my few months of using this than I have from my 3 years of Spanish in high school. Thank you for making this wonderful product.

Great course and I have learnt a great deal. My only negative comment is that the course so far (nearly finished level 1) does not give enough teaching on putting the language together, rather it teaches phrases. I am trying to learn the language as I now live in Spain and trying to learn the language.

Very satisfied with my experience. This is a great programs to learn Spanish with better than Doulingo!

I did not purchase this product but it was instrumental in my learning "muchos palabras" in Espanol. I am thankful for this opportunity to learn many of the words that I was not familiar with. The fact that this opportunity was free makes it even sweeter.

I did research on a several different programs to learn Spanish and glad I chose Rocket. It's well organized, easy to use and more importantly it works. The different exercises in each module all work together to re-enforce learning.

I've bought both Rocket Spanish and Rocket Italian, and find both to be excellent language-learning resources. The mix of timed repetition, different practical scenarios (at a restaurant, at a hotel, asking for directions, etc.), and the equal emphasis on speaking, listening, and writing are very helpful. I recommend Rocket Languages. (The only reason I'm not likely to buy again is that I don't currently plan to learn any additional languages.)
