Rocket Languages Reviews

In general Rocket Spanish does a decent job teaching the language. However, it fails to explain the rules and reasoning for the language's grammar, especially when a phrase or sentence contains multiple verbs. Also, so far (into lesson 1 of section 2) there has been no explanation of the Spanish use of the word "lo". I am struggling with the contextual grammar, and I don't think it's really any fault of my own.

Very clear course and super good. I love this program and definitely will use it again in the near future to learn another language here.

I hope that you retain the older type flashcards. I use them frequently to check on my knowledge of irregular preterite verbs, among other things.

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!

the system is confusing frustrating and has to much work

Because of the excellent price I brought the Spanish course, the language I am learning and also the Italian course, a language I have always wanted to speak. To hear myself speak these languages and get a good mark at my pronunciation is awesome! Thank you.
Tomorrow my friend is coming and I am going to introduce her to the two languages and we can practice together.

The Hear It Say It feature does not work but must be passed to progress to the next level, essentially making the entire program useless.

I would like first of all to comment on Bill Landman's review of two days ago. I am not yet up to Level 9 (only at Level 5), but I have had no trouble with pronunciation being recognized thus far, so I jumped ahead to Lesson 9.11 to see if Mr. Landman's remarks would be confirmed. As it turned out, however, I had no trouble at all achieving a 100% rating in pronunciation on everything, with Record Difficulty set to "Hard." Thus, whatever problem Mr. Landman experienced does not seem to be with Rocket Spanish itself. Perhaps his microphone was not clear, or its output level was too low (or something) that day.

I have been very satisfied with Rocket Spanish. Although I'm only on Level 5, I have been using Rocket Spanish for several months (not with great regularity, obviously, or I'd be farther along). I had previously gone through at least 3 different CD courses, one of which I thought was excellent. However, CD courses are not interactive, of course. Nor did even the best one go to as high a level as Rocket Spanish.

Great course so far. I am enjoying it and learning a lot.

The variety of teaching formats really helps reinforce what I am learning, and I love that I can work at my own pace. I would highly recommend Rocket Languages to anyone who wants to learn to speak a foreign language!
