Rocket Languages Reviews

So far I like it much more than Pimsleur! It sticking with me a lot better.

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.

I like the idea of the course, but I find it too cumbersome to use on a regular basis. Firstly, I practice at home in the evenings and it is disruptive for me to be speaking aloud continuously. Half the time this feature does not work for me, likely because I have slow internet. It also absolutely cannot understand me when I say the word "enchilada" even though I am 99% sure I am pronouncing it correctly. Secondly, the rating system is really annoying and I do not understand it at all. I would like to be able to run through lessons without having to click on a rating (I also have yet to figure out what "so so" and "good" mean). Clicking a rating after every single answer makes me take my hand off of the keyboard to reach the mouse to click, when it would be much quicker and simpler to be able to just hit 'enter' to go to the next phrase or word. This is especially annoying during the typing practice, which also requires the use of a virtual keyboard to type special characters. There should be keyboard shortcuts for these, it takes an inordinate amount of time to find the characters and select the right one for very short words.

This is a great way to learn a language. I can practice in the comfort of my own home, at my own pace. I like the fact that I can practice all aspects of the language--even typing it!

I am early on in the lessons but, already having "un poco" Spanish, I am finding the lessons to be of not a lot of use, so far. I am hoping that will improve as I progress through them. However, I must say that the speech recognition facility is woeful!

I am unable to rate "Customer Service" as I haven't had any.

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!!!

It is too short time for evaluation, it seems to be good.

Finally! A program which requires honest consistent effort and yields results quickly. Very happy with my purchase and look forward to communicating in another language.

I just started learning Spanish again after taking a 15-year break. I'm having fun and excited to keep learning. The program is easy to use and listening to the pronunciations is very helpful.

Rocket Spanish is an exceptionally well designed learning tool. Each of the lessons offers multiple learning methods, which provide opportunities to reinforce learning every step of the way. And the ability to listen to a native Spanish speaker pronouncing each word correctly is superior to computer-driven learning tools.
