Rocket Languages Reviews

I've decided to start learning Spanish this year and I took some Spanish courses in Hong Kong. They were good, but I felt I didn't have a chance to listen to native Spanish enough or had enough oral practice, and so I started searching for online courses. I read a review page about online Spanish courses, as someone who is serious about learning, I bought the top 3 that were recommended, Rocket Languages was among them. And I have to say, Rocket Languages MUST BE the best choice. I bought the 3-level bundle, and it is ABSOLUTELY worth it! The materials, the technology, the extra information, the grammar, I totally love the course! I don't remember exactly how much I paid for the course, but I remember the amount is equal to roughly 3-4 months of Spanish course in Hong Kong. Frankly, you can't learn that much in 4 months, a lesson per week, in a group setting with 20 students in a classroom. But then with Rocket Spanish, I can learn daily, and re-learn if certain parts are hard, and I can listen to the conversations on the bus, in the gym, etc.

In fact, I've already recommended my girlfriend to buy Rocket German, and friends from my Spanish class to buy the program.

The speaker is hard to hear enunciations. I know that natural language moves fast but a slower enunciation would be helpful at first

I have only been doing spanish rocket languages for a fortnight but I really enjoy this way of learning!
It is varied and informative.
I had a couple of queries and these were answered very quickly!
Very impressed so far!

Muy bueno. I sometimes don't hear the esses on the end of the words (las palabras).

I like the variety of lessons. All of the lessons involving spoken Spanish are helping me with my biggest weakness, which is understanding Spanish when it is spoken.
I do have one major complaint, and that is that more effort should be put into giving a more accurate and useful English interpretation. The addition of an exact literal translation would both provide lessons in the word order of Spanish, and also help with learning new Spanish words. All too often I am wondering if this word that I have been introduced to before has a new meaning, or does it just look that way due to the interpretation being based on what a sentence means, and not on what it actually says. (e.g.: "me gusta" means "I like", but it literally says "me it pleases")

I initially started learning Spanish before visiting Perú four years ago and found that the materials in the course were an excellent preparation for real conversations in real situations. I am planning another trip to Perú this year, so have dusted off the lessons and even bought the third level this time - aiming to advance beyond my proficiency reached in preparation for my last visit.
I mainly learn from the audio lessons while travelling and like to use the online activities for review. I really like the way each lesson builds upon the vocabulary and grammar from previous lessons.
I am always recommend Rocket Languages to friends when they are talking of travelling and learning some of the language of their destination.

mavillosos el leccion! This is a place to be! so romantic is the spanish language!

Have only been studying Rocket Spanish for 10 days and can't believe how much I can remember and actually speak already. The lessons are presented in such a way that by time every segment is finished, the new phrases and vocabulary stay in my memory. Nothing else I have ever tried has been this effective! It is just great to practice pronunciation which helps build confidence. I love Rocket Spanish!!! Recommending it to relatives already.

I like that you are a lifetime member and can go back to previous lessons again and again. For a new learner, the repetition is critical. I also like that you get the learning in context of conversations but also get the explanations of grammar and translations into English so you know exactly what you're saying, unlike some competing courses.

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.
