Rocket Spanish gives me the structure that I need in learning Spanish. There are opportunities to speak, read, and write in Spanish. The real-world conversations in the lessons are excellent. It is also very motivating to progress through each stage. I am truly enjoying the pace with each lesson. If you want to learn and developing a solid foundation in the Spanish language and Latin American culture. Rocket Spanish is for you.

Thank you for your review, James. We're glad to hear that Rocket Spanish is ticking all the boxes in your language-learning journey!
This is my second Spanish course on-line. It is very user friendly and albeit only one week in I am finding myself learning much more than the previous course (unnamed) I took. Rocket Spanish is easy to navigate and is composed of multiple learning methods. Well done!
The program is well done - small chunks and plenty of practice. The voice recognition is generally decent, but can be inaccurate sometimes. Be sure that you are pronouncing at a normal pace and extra clearly and extra loudly. Even with that, this program is miles ahead of Rosetta Stone.
I've only been using this program one week. For now, the sale price made this a reasonable purchase. I am not computer savvy, so this online experience was convenient for someone like me. I didn't have to worry about downloading software and figuring out how to get it to work. I just log in and start learning right away. So far, I have enjoyed it very much.
It's always fun to get on and learn new thing. It's actually helped me grow a lot this year in Spanish compared to last year. And i can use it when ever and where ever. And i like how it has different levels for each stage and how it quizzes what you know. But it is also very easy to cheat on. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn a new language besides Spanish too.
I did some research before buying Rocket Spanish and the reviews were excellent, however I did not read anything that said it was all about South American and therefore some of the language is different. I feel it is designed for the younger people with little reference to the older person who only plan to go on vacation to mainland Spain. I also think the long drawn out conversation by the American lady at the start of each session is excessive and a little annoying, although of course you can skip this as shorter conversations follow and these cover all the relevant points.
On the plus side Rocket Spanish has been well thought out and covers everything that is needed to learn Spanish. I like the fact that you can jump ahead and back to different modules if there is something specific you want to learn, like the time or numbers. I also like to use the voice recognition and the conversation section. The price is excellent so I purchased the whole package which will last me forever. I do not regret buying this product and my Spanish is improving because of it.
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..

My family and I are currently in Mexico and are working on learning Spanish. Since this program starts with useful phrases, like how to ask for help or how to order coffee, it has been much more helpful than something like the popular owl-themed language app. (Why do so many programs want to teach me to talk about elephants? Not helpful!) Rocket Spanish also uses the type of Spanish that is actually spoken, unlike the Spanish I learned in high school, and the audio is a native speaker, not a computer-generated voice. My twelve year old daughter and I both like it, and the price is reasonable. A video element would be nice, but focusing on listening and speaking is fine considering the reasonable price and useful Spanish. This seems like a good first step before moving on to teachers online or in-person lessons, and we are already getting to use what we learn in daily life here.
It is good so far. Just have to be consistent and diligent with my progress.
