Rocket Languages Reviews

Great for those wanting to learn a new language and have dedication to do so!

It's close to normal daily speaking environment. I am a Chinese speaking background, with some english level. The 1st 2 classes give more confidence to learn espanol.

So far I like it much more than Pimsleur! It sticking with me a lot better.

I've only just started using Rocket Spanish, but I really appreciate the different learning styles it addresses, including speaking, writing, listening, and interacting. It seems to be a very thorough and effective program.

I haven't used customer service, and I'm unlikely to buy again because I used the deal to buy the whole package! But I love this program so far. I'm 2 lessons in and it is so comprehensive. It covers all the important aspects of language learning.

Good if you're serious about learning. Provides very well explained lessons. Won't just throw words at you, but will explain in great detail when and how those words and phrases should be used. Gives a little insight into Latin American culture. Let's you practice reading, listening, and speaking. Explains grammar in a way that is not boring, but is thorough. Not for visual learners. No pictures. Not for people who aren't already very motivated to learn a language. Has a leaderboard and will track your streak, but not overall very game-like. If you finish all three courses you will be able to understand most conversations even if you don't know some of the words. Just try it!

So far so good. My wife and I have just finished our 3rd Spanish lesson and are enjoying it. We are very confident that we will be able to read and speak Spanish after we are finished.

I so wish I had been using this program on my laptop right from the beginning. There is so much more available than what's in the app.

I really like that you can be recorded and hear the playback of yourself speaking your target language. There are some things I was mispronouncing that I didn't realize until I heard the playback.

The flashcards are a great feature and I like how the lessons are broken down into modules with a test at the end of each module.

I would enjoy if some more features were added, like real world articles in your target language, video news clips, etc. For Spanish, the Telenovela method can really help you learn to speak and understand the language. It would be cool if that was incorporated into this program. The repetitive nature of the what's available can become wearing.

Overall, it's a great program!

I think RS is trying to do too much. Needs to be shorter. If you follow the lesson plans now, it takes 2-3 hours to fully complete a lesson. That’s too much for the average person. You might consider having stages of lessons - a shorter test section then another layer for those who have more time. Flash cards should note be 68. Maybe 20 of the most important, for example.
Love the narrative lessons, they are perfect.

It's fine but the videos are super boring I almost fell asleep
