Rocket Languages Reviews

Like the structure of the course, particularly appreciate the interactive audio and pronunciation checks. Ability to burn courses to MP3 invaluable for learning on the run. Have recommended to others.

Good if you're serious about learning. Provides very well explained lessons. Won't just throw words at you, but will explain in great detail when and how those words and phrases should be used. Gives a little insight into Latin American culture. Let's you practice reading, listening, and speaking. Explains grammar in a way that is not boring, but is thorough. Not for visual learners. No pictures. Not for people who aren't already very motivated to learn a language. Has a leaderboard and will track your streak, but not overall very game-like. If you finish all three courses you will be able to understand most conversations even if you don't know some of the words. Just try it!

What I like about this course is that it does not expire. I bought it 4 years ago and it was there waiting for me when I picked up learning Spanish again after a two year hiatus. Normally, I don't like recorded Spanish lessons but I have to admit that it is helpful being able to listen to the speaker and then being able to listen to what I recorded in order to compare it with the original.

I couldn't get into it as I am at a more advanced level and I could find much in my trial edition. I never signed up to pay because of that. I didn't use customer service and can't really say about the price and I don't remember what it was. I'm guessing it would be okay if I had seen that the program was helpful in the trial. It would help to have a more helpful trial version.

i have learned alot from it soooooooooooooooooooooo fast and im looking forward to showing off what i've learned next time i go to mexico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this program is easy to use and very effective! love it!!!

I enjoy learning via a real life conversation and the exercises are great . Highly recommended for those who want to jump on in.

I am just starting and find the format very well organized. I speak English, dutch, German, French and yes, luxembourgeois. the last one I picked up phonetically and surprise, it is the only language without a dutch accent. I am now working on Spanish and like the format very much. I also appreciate to be able to see the written text and to be able to have some dictation. In summary after five days I love the course.

I like the variety of ways the vocabulary, grammar, spelling and accent are reinforced. Easily enough for a week of study and review.

Two months in to learning Spanish. I've tried and failed in the past, but I'm really enjoying Rocket so far. The conversations are fun, and the multiple ways of covering the material afterwards seems to make the phrases stick a lot better, compared to some dry textbook or classroom.

I'm headed to South America for vacation in a few months, and I'm feeling hopeful that by the time I get there - I might not be a total "turista"!

I am an adult learner and have a real-life need to have a good working use of Spanish for travel and work in Central and South America. I have been studying Spanish for about 6 years so I have a fairly good grasp of the language. I have used all the widely-known, self-directed courses, multiple online resources, have a small library of Spanish books, even hired a tutor at the cost of $100/hour from Colombia. Bottom line in all of this, is that learning a new language is work- a lot of work. What you get out of your learning experience is directly related to how much effort you're willing to put in. I rarely endorse anything unless it stands out from the crowd or impresses me. I like several things about this program. First the price- it's a good value and a one-time purchase for however much you want to dive in. It doesn't continue to gouge you month after month. You buy it- it's yours for life. And if you're a new learner or even intermediate level, you will return to this as a resource over and over. Because (very important) you will NOT absorb every single bit of information the first time around. To think you will have 100% recall after one-time through is extremely unrealistic.
