Rocket Languages Reviews

I find it very easy to use this course. I have a lot of Spanish under my belt but I am still starting at the beginning to make sure I get a lot of the nuances. I am still learning things every lessons and it is reinforcing things I already know.

I think the Rocket format is a solid tool for learning - especially for beginners. Each lesson is a conversation between two people that you study and use to learn vocabulary and grammar. I always enjoyed that the format gave me little "stories" I could grab on to as memory aids. It really gave me a great start.

As my enthusiasm waned, as it always will when learning something new and moving past the beginner phase, I found that the rocket format started to bog me down a little. Some lessons would have over 60 phrases to practice and memorize. I'd get bogged down trying to get through the homework. I felt my learning speed was slowing down as I entered Level 2 of the course, and I began to turn to other tools like "Spanish Dict (spanishdict.com)" to augment the material and speed me up.

I think the course could be improved drastically in three ways.

1) Shorten Lessons. People like to move through lessons quickly. It produces a sense of accomplishment. This means, reducing the number of phrases to be mastered in each lesson.

2) Enhance Memorization Tools. There are well known systems for reviewing words and the idea of building a deck of flashcards you can continuously review is missing from the toolkit of Rocket Spanish.

I am studying Spanish and really love this program. I recommended the Italian version to a friend who is going to Italy.

Very good course I started about last year and I have really liked it so far I recommend it!!!

The pace of introducing new material is perfect. And it's all very conversational -- Close your eyes and absorb the conversation. It's great!

Chill and I want to keep learning, but i have to write this review

Watching tangerine travels results make me confident that I could interact better in the community.

I hate it and it is a waste of time because it is super boring

I am having an awesome time and moments leaning Spinach in a really fun ways on Rocket Languages.
glad that my best friend gifted me this course for my birthday <3

No customer service line, no prompt response to messages. Write it section should be expanded. No mention of punctuation or how to apply such. Useless, in my view, without more help. Pimsleur does a better job of making reviewing a lesson(s) possible. I gave high marks on the satisfaction score because I like the way several parts of the module are taught, better than Pimsleur, I think. Price was also great. I think Pimsleur is too expensive, but their customer service is much, much better than Rocket.
