Rocket Languages Reviews

Rocket Spanish is a great platform to learn Spanish. It allows you to learn at your own pace and provides all the tools to get you to the next level.

I find it a little difficult to navigate when I'm listening to it. I still haven't been able to find somewhere where I can quickly look at conjugated verbs. Also I can’t easily find where and how to easily contact customer service to find out how best to navigate.

Rocket Languages has EVERYTHING I've always wanted in a language study program. I've tried an online Spanish course and various apps, but always there was something missing. I felt I was up to Level 2 after my other experiences, but I had hit a wall I couldn't get beyond. Rocket Languages Spanish 2 is perfect for me. It encourages me to engage in dialogue, explains and reinforces, provides motivational perks, and allows me plenty of practice speaking like a native as well as understanding spoken Spanish and writing it (love the availability of special symbols!). The voice recognition is really good. I haven't even finished the first lesson and already I'm more confident, speaking to myself in Spanish around the house, even dreaming Spanish phrases! And it's FUN!! Mauricio and team are so kind. It's like having friends who really want to help me learn the language. Thank you, Rocket Languages! After Spanish 2, I hope to "Rocket" on with Spanish 3 and beef up my high school French. Then, who knows?

gradual course with lots of speaking exercises with playback to hear your mistakes or perfection.

I like this because it helps me to learn different languages i've never learned before.

it's really helpful it helps to learn Spanish fast and for good

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

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..

Enjoyable.
Balanced speak/hear/read/write (tilted toward speak/hear).
Good interface.
Feels like a complete tool: I think I can learn to speak Spanish quite well using Rocket without other resources (except, of course, Spanish-speaking friends to talk to.)
The speaking feedback needs work: usually too loose (terrible pronunciation gets 100%) with a few phrases, especially ones with numbers, almost impossible to get 100% every time they come up.

(There is no N/A choice on the above ratings; I have no experience with customer service so I would choose N/A if I could)

My only complaint is that the Spanish keyboard is difficult to use and would be best if it were just built directly into the screen instead of me having to pull it out for each individual exercise. Other than that, I love this system. It is so user friendly, personalized, and easy to navigate. It is thorough in the way it teaches the material and gives the user a lot of freedom to make choices along the way.
