Rocket Languages Reviews

Although I am making progress learning Spanish, the app has several bugs that have certainly affected my pace of learning. Missing translations/text are not uncommon. Sometimes it takes deleting and reinstalling the app to get it working. On some lessons it simply will not work no matter what action you take. Customer support has not been able to resolve the matter and I have decided that you get what you pay for. With the regular discounts offered as well as the supposed one-time price cut to entice you to buy all 3 level at the onset, I found the course fairly inexpensive. If the bugs ever get worked out, I would then consider this one of the best language courses available.

Surprisingly great course! I like to learn conversationally and with audio while driving. This seems to be one of the few internet based courses that has the ability to download mp3's so I can listen in the car (or on the plane without internet)! Can learn with network, visuals, flashcards and pdf'able lessons and even downloadable pdf books!

..and the lessons from Amy and Mauricio are very interactive and expert (like use Como, not Que to say 'What?'..). Lastly they employ great teaching technique, like reinforcement from previous lessons.

would buy again !

Good course for practising speech. The speech recognition is a little lacking. it does not seem to recognise the first letter of the first syllable despite repeated attempts and emphasis. I am level 2 and only recently started. But my speech is improving a lot regardless of this

Excellent so far -- love all the options to practice, including speaking and writing.

I studied with Rocket Italian for 18 months before taking a trip to Italy. Rocket's method of putting you on the spot to answer questions really helped, and I felt like I could think on my feet! My Italian wasn't perfect, but the lovely nonna who was our host spoke no English, and we were able to talk and even joke together!
A year later I returned to Italy without having studied or reviewed, and I feel like I did great. I'm certainly not fluent or quite conversational but I could ask questions and understand the answers, so I call that a win.
Now I'm on to Rocket Spanish! It very much has the same feel and format that I know I can be successful with. The host does come off a little more condescending than the Italian host did, but I'm only in module three and I'm already feeling confident about my Spanish. I do wish there was a Spain-focused version, as that is where I will be visiting.
I think it's such a great program, and I absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants to learn Spanish or Italian.

I really like the way the modules are introduced such that you can make use of the Spanish you are learning immediately. Tried Rosetta Stone and did not find their methodology at all useful matching pictures to words ...... so far this is much better and more intuitive for me.

Having learned French, so, Greek and Mandarin elsewhere, I think Rocket Languages as a language learning pack is fantastic (I’m learning Spanish now)!! The audio lessons are great and well planned to ensure you are building on your knowledge and use of words previously used while introducing new content. The additional writing exercises, verbal tests and quizzes mean you can learn more than just speaking and they assist in the repetition required to learn a language. Fantastic!

do you have paper back books for the lessons so we can keep learning when not on the computer

I started learning español on a different app, but life stuff forced me to drop out. That, plus I felt completely unprepared for conversation after a year or so of lessons.

Now, with Rocket Spanish, I'm restarting on Square One. At first, the vocabulary seemed way too simple. But then, I realized that RS really gets me right into conversation mode, while also helping me to up my pronunciation game - the exact areas where my previous app fell short. So, for now, I plan to keep on moving step by step.

I supplement RS with Destinos videos/book and songs. A bit down the road, I will add a language transfer app to the mix. RS is doing a great job of providing a base to learn with, while filling in some old gaps.

So far so good. The course seems very comprehensive and I am enjoying the structure and reinforcement activities. Not sure how useful the ranking system is, and quite frankly I suspect Duolingo is a much better gamification option (if that floats your boat). I am learning Spanish as a way of staving off old age during a lockdown so I am using Rocket as my main learning tool with Duolingo and Coffee Break Spanish as additional and more causal ways to reinforce what I am learning. The only sure way to say how good Rocket is would be to ask me in a year!
