Rocket Languages Reviews

The feature that allows one to record and then listening to yourself as compared to the instructor has been a great help to me in learning the pronunciation. I enjoy using the Beginner's Spanish PDF book along with each lesson to look up word meanings and deeper usage help as I go through a lesson for the first time. I have found that the self-test ordering is the best sequence for my learning. I found that it is much easier to hear the phrase in Spanish and then say what it means than it is to read the English and then say it in Spanish (the "Know it" test). It forces me to learn to think in the language and gives me a strong memorization exercise to get the vocabulary down much more solidly. This is my second purchase from Rocket languages, having previously taken Rocket Italian. We were taking a vacation to Southern Italy at the time and would be driving in areas where English was not commonly spoken. I did not have much time to get up to speed before leaving but managed to get though about half of the beginner's course. It was enough to get us out of several jams we got into when getting lost and asking for directions, as well as recovering from taking a bus to the wrong place and trying to recover from that.

I am enjoying the teaching techniques of the Rockets languages Course. I also like the fact that I can say the word(s) after they say it in the lessons. I believe this technique will help me learn to speak Spanish at a faster rate.

I really enjoy learning with Rocket Languages. They make learning the language of your choice so easy. I 'm learning to speak the Spanish language with them and have come a long way, though I've not finished the first level yet. My brothers and I were taught some of the basic greetings by an uncle and aunt who were visiting from Mexico. I think that Rocket Languages is the best language learning program out there, because I have tried using Rosetta Stone and Power-Glide's method for learning Spanish yet did not make much progress with them. Hopefully other people will try to use Rocket Languages for their language learning needs and find it very useful.

After spending an hour every day for less than one month, I am already getting more confident in my secondary language. By the end of three months, I expect to relatively fluent and I feel like I'm right on track after the first 25 days.

It's fun. It's very easy to use, and teaches you helpful phrases and usage right off the bat. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn a language. I've got both the Italian and the Spanish versions, and both are great! I also like the ability to download the lessons onto your hard drive.

Easy, inexpensive and a successful way to learn a language. Start from the basics with simple and easy to learn phrases and progress as you feel comfortable, I had a small understanding, but after 30 years of not using any of the language, I was able to become conversational in a couple of months, maybe 30 min every couple of days. Highly reccommend this program

So far it seems to be just what I wanted. Learning to speak and understand common phrases. The chance to hear myself say the phrases is very helpful. It is also very convenient. I will be continuing lessons via blutooth while I commute.

I love Rocket Languages because this was how I started out with Spanish and thus got to know the language from the initial stage. Today I'm still using it. I would recommend Rocket Languages to anybody who wants to learn Spanish.

I like that so much of the exercises use audio. Too many language teachers end up teaching how to read a language, but put very little emphasis on speaking and comprehension. I also really like the dictation exercises, mostly because they give me practice in comprehension of spoken Spanish.

I first bought Rocket Spanish many years ago after a trip to Costa Rica and Guatemala. I had taken Spanish at my local college, but after the trip it was quite obvious that I needed lots of practice, and Rocket Spanish provided the means in a fun and entertaining way! Understanding the other person is the most difficult part for me, and the way RS is presented, with the conversations and explanations, is by far the best I have seen in any program.
As my Spanish level (and travels) advanced, I continued to use RS for review, and gladly bought the Advanced Level 2. I hope someday I'll be ready for Level 3!
Rocket Spanish was extremely well thought through in its development and gives plenty of practice in all areas of language learning. The explanations are clear, the speaking is easy to understand (oh, if only everyone would speak that clearly!!), and the cultural information is informative.
Oaxaca is my home for 5-6 months of every year, and I continue to use RS for learning and reviewing.
Thanks for such a great program, and yes, I have recommended it to friends and family.
