Rocket Languages Reviews

I am really enjoy learning rocket Spanish, and would like to see more pictures in the lessons and vocabularies. I am learning better with pictures and audio. I understand everybody learn differently. The audio part is very good at repeating and explain the meaning of words and sentences. I hope this comment is helpful to you. My conclusion is rocket Spanish, is a very powerful tool to learn Spanish language and I love it. Keep up the good work.

I'm an English second language teacher, and I support this method of learning. Sure, they don't offer live conversation but with a little bit of initiative and skype that's easy enough to arrange! For the price, the amount of material and the seamless intergration with the mobile app this is a great course. Now it's just up to you!

It is challenging, but fun. The material is easy to learn and retain, and it also keep my interest. I love thew corrections by the native speakers and I also enjoy being able to offer my corrections to those learning English. I took advantage of a great sale to buy all three units and I'm glad I did!

I'm very happy with this Spanish program. I have tried several others and been disappointed with the level of instruction -- some focus primarily on vocabulary, others on writing, for example. This one gives you a sense of the language and, importantly, how it is used in real life. And it is fun. I don't think I am easily manipulated, but I have to say that the point system, "streak" reporting and badges do keep me going.

I like most of the teaching methods, and my favorite is being able to participate in conversations. Exceptions: I don't think the five-question quizzes are particularly effective; there are too few questions and they are extremely easy. I use the flashcards once per lesson (to get credit!), but I think Anki is a much better flashcard service and I use that much more.

With that preamble, here are some suggestions:

* Although the pronunciation checker is pretty amazing, it is still somewhat inaccurate. I get words wrong and it often still scores me 100%, even with the checking level at "Hard". More frustrating is that sometimes it just won't accept my (perfect!) pronunciation no matter what I do.

I started a month ago. I had a base knowledge from Spanish 1, 25 years ago in high school. I have wanted to learn the language and recently got a job with half of my clients from Mexico. After a month of an hour a day, I am able to take care of Spanish speaking clients with what I have built up. I really find the Rocket experience to be exceptional. Starting with the 20 minute conversation/breakdown and the audio bits of saying it back is tremendous. I am currently struggling with lesson 1.10 (which I believe is a turning point). I do believe there is a gigantic jump from everything to this particular lesson. It would be my only knock up to this point as I feel like I missed a sentence structure lesson. That being said I will keep at it. My studies have paid off thus far and can not wait to continue my journey.

Have tried quite a few other online language courses. Find the rocket course to the most fun, comprehensive and user friendly

I'm an intermediate Spanish speaker and I really like my Rocket Language Course so far. The audio lessons are interesting, they sound natural and they incorporate a lot of colloquial expressions and informal language which is exactly what I needed in my practice. I also really like the explanation and lesson that accompanies each audio text because it often challenges the learner with "Now that you know how to say that, how would you say this?" I also like that the program forces me to practice my listening, speaking and writing with follow-up practice opportunities. I'm feeling like I am filling in my learning gaps and making progress each day.

I would definitely recommend it to anybody who wants to learn a language!

I would highly recommend these lessons. It is nice to be able to work at your own pace. The lessons are very easy to learn.

The main problem that I have is your web app is flaky. Often, in a completely random way, it fails to record my voice. I have talked with customer service and even sent them a video but that want me to make too many changes to my system and do too much work. They should do the work themselves as part of the QA process. And I know others, like my girlfriend, are having the same problem on their own computers. It I did not have this problem I would give you 4 stars.
