Rocket Languages Reviews

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..

I would love Rocket Languages if it would work and the sound would stop cutting out. I ask for help they say it will take 2 days to get a response for my request. I really thought the first course 1.1 was great but i cant get past 1.2 because it plays for awhile and then the sound cuts out.

The course is great. The content is better than most. The narrator Amy is slightly annoying, but the content makes up for this.

I did some research before buying Rocket Spanish and the reviews were excellent, however I did not read anything that said it was all about South American and therefore some of the language is different. I feel it is designed for the younger people with little reference to the older person who only plan to go on vacation to mainland Spain. I also think the long drawn out conversation by the American lady at the start of each session is excessive and a little annoying, although of course you can skip this as shorter conversations follow and these cover all the relevant points.

On the plus side Rocket Spanish has been well thought out and covers everything that is needed to learn Spanish. I like the fact that you can jump ahead and back to different modules if there is something specific you want to learn, like the time or numbers. I also like to use the voice recognition and the conversation section. The price is excellent so I purchased the whole package which will last me forever. I do not regret buying this product and my Spanish is improving because of it.

I love Rocket Spanish! I mainly use it in my car, but I do use it a lot-almost every day. I have some background in Spanish and right now I am working on the first level of Rocket Spanish, which is mostly, but not all review.. When I get to the next level I will probably use the online lessons more in addition to the in the off-line car practice. The lessons in the first level have been very well done, covering useful areas of information. The voices are clear and go at an appropriate rate. The program uses excellent vocabulary development methods, which includes lots of repetition.

When I was using Rosetta Stone, whenever I opened it (and I could always find access) it opened to wherever I had left off. That would all be very helpful for Rocket language to offer and it doesn't, or I don't know how to find it. Perhaps I could get some help.

After the first couple lessons from the first course I immediately bought the other two courses. My methodology consists of using the material between the various levels at anytime. I am over 50 years therefore my plan is fluency IN THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME and not just extending my vocabulary or learning a few sentences. Rocket Spanish met ALL my expectations:
1. colloquial topics that does not sound too bookish
2. conversation at a moderate pace (not too slow not too fast)
3. the interactive features are fantastic
4. having the full transcript to help with the conversation is a God-send
5. the grammar lessons are presented in simple clear concise but very thorough manner (my textbook cover the same amount of material in two or three chapters which makes the language appear more difficult to learn)
6. a one time price (contra periodic subscription) is pure value for money
7. I particularly like the look and easy navigation of the site ( I am usually a fussy person that can quickly spot mediocre workmanship...but Rocket Spanish immediately lets one feel the sense of pride and diligence that went into building the site).
WITH EACH USE OF ROCKET SPANISH I FEEL ONE STEP CLOSER TO FLUENCY.
Suggestion for possible long term addition :
1. usage of various accents (and maybe at various speeds)

Adios (Thanks for a great site)!!

I've only been using Rocket Language Spanish for two weeks and I feel comfortable having a conversation with a Spanish speaker. Another year from now I'm planning on being fluent by using Rocket Language Spanish

I am having an excellent experience so far. Thank you Tom Woods for the recommendation.

The course has been good so far. There are good explanations about how the language works.
