Rocket Languages Reviews

What a truly engaging way to learn a language.

From the onset, this program takes you buy the hand and immediately immerses you into both a language and a culture. I like the idea that you're learning both useful phrases as well as the situations in which they may or may not be appropriate. Also, Rocket Language's lighthearted approach to presentation creates an environment in which the learner feels no pressure or anxiety when practicing.

I'm looking forward to working with the Rocket to build a solid foundation as I move toward my language learning goals. You should too!

I enjoy the multifaceted way in which the program is presented.

This program is broken up well and the lessons are well structured. Between speaking, writing, and the flash cards my memorization has been dramatically better than I expected it would be. I'm only a couple modules deep but I'm looking forward to continuing. The best advice I can give is: You get out of it what you put in. I myself have taken the vocabulary that I've learned from the modules and formed my own sentences and that application helps tremendously in conjunction with the lessons.

The course is amazing! It has really helped to expand my vocabulary in Spanish, and serves as an excellent adjunct for learning how to conduct actual conversations in the language. Kudos to your program!

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

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.

I am at Day 6 in this Spanish Course and I have to say this has been an absolute exciting opportunity for me to improve upon what I already know. The lessons are thorough and thoughtful. They progress smoothly into a new lesson at each section so far without too many self recapping. Im impressed with Rocket Spanish. And when given the opportunity will highly recommend it.

I decided to try to learn Spanish after beginning to tutor an ESL adult learner from Mexico. After much research I decided to give Rocket Spanish trial a try and dove in. I also looked into a few other very popular apps/site, but Rocket Language appealed to me with the price and the way the learning is set up. I have gone through lesson 1.1 and 1.2 in the last 3 days and i really enjoy it and feel like it will definitely help me learn Spanish. I will be buying all 3 levels of learning for a lifetime of learning and growing in the Spanish language. I love that Rocket let's interested learners have that trial period, and without it I may not have decided on Rocket. I love the lessons, microphone, flashcards, quizzes, and rankings. I have not used customer service, but program is a winner!

It's very good experience. I've enjoyed. thank
you.

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.
