Though a little tough to complete one whole lesson in one day, I usually split it into two days, and have grown to appreciate that each lesson is approached from various directions - dialogue, listening, flashcards, writing, speaking and remembering words and. concepts.

Response from Rocket Languages

While our courses are extremely comprehensive, we know that this can sometimes be overwhelming, especially when starting out. So, it's great to hear that you have found a good strategy for getting the most out of each lesson in a way that works for your schedule. Keep up the great work!

We are so glad to hear that you are learning lots of Spanish with Rocket Spanish. It's great that you can already use the words you are learning and put them into sentences. We wish you all the best!

This is such a well thought out and diverse language learning system. The variations of learning in each different modules, has been tremendously helpful in me retaining what I just learn. It’s so funny, I’ve had this as gift for several years and I’m just starting to utilize it, I regret not having done it before. But I have something great to look forward to and do during my down time. High five and excellent job of the creators and masterminds behind this awesomeness. Happy New Year!!!!!

No customer service line, no prompt response to messages. Write it section should be expanded. No mention of punctuation or how to apply such. Useless, in my view, without more help. Pimsleur does a better job of making reviewing a lesson(s) possible. I gave high marks on the satisfaction score because I like the way several parts of the module are taught, better than Pimsleur, I think. Price was also great. I think Pimsleur is too expensive, but their customer service is much, much better than Rocket.

Of all the various language courses I've looked at for years, this one, with all options is by far the one that suits my needs! I can't wait to get started! After several "glitches" on my part, support was forthcoming , courteous and entirely helpful! I feel confident that I'm in the right place!

Relatively inexpensive one-time purchase, not a subscription that you have to keep paying for. Also a straightforward teaching method that tells you what is being taught, not making you guess/wonder. Lessons are clear- no ambiguity, no need to use a separate Spanish-English dictionary. Also the ability to record lessons to CD so you can play then in your car as you drive, without requiring you to watch pictures or animations. Also, Rocket Languages sends additional lesson tidbits via email - I haven’t seen that from anyone else. Lots of nice features in an effective learning package.

I was astonished by the sexism and gender stereotypes, there were even lessons about the nativity. I wanted to share these lessons with my partner, who is more advanced than me, but I was too embarrassed, and some lessons were unlistenable for me, due to these problems.

Also, the lessons themselves tend to just ask you to repeat what you have heard, and only occasionally challenge the listener to take what they've learned in the lesson an actually apply it to make new sentences.

On a positive note I was pleased that the instructors would often add multiple ways of saying things.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Nicholas - Thanks for your feedback, and we will take that onboard at our annual review of course content. Certainly the stereotyping is an issue we are looking at, even though a lot of these attitudes are still prevalent in South American culture. As is Christianity, hence the nativity lessons.

I don't want to write a review at this time because I'm having difficulty taking the course because of technical issues.
I am in the present in contact with technical support to resolve my issue. My issue is this: When I hear a Spanish word or phrase that I am to repeat using the little mike icon, it doesn't give me near enough time to complete the word before cutting out. So, the other icon comes up and say "please try again". I am very frustrated with this issue. I hope technical support can fix this.
This issue just started up this week. Otherwise, I really like the course overall, and plan to continue as soon as my issue is fixed.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Henry. We are endeavoring to get in touch with you via email so that we can set up a Skype call to walk through the issues.

I give Rocket Spanish 5 stars on all points. I finished level 1, just started level 2.
Their method is designed to help you learn Spanish in many ways.
It has audible and written components so you hear the words and also see them in real life settings.
The grammar is explained so you can progress from present to past wordage which builds your understanding of the language.
I appreciate the reviews at the end, the flash cards, conversation reviews etc.
You can go over these as many times as you need to and for me that helps to build them into my memory.
The lessons are progressive, interesting and fun.
I highly recommend this course, very reasonable price and especially appreciate that there is no pressure, you learn at your own pace.

Response from Rocket Languages

Thank you for your review. It's amazing to hear how much you are enjoying Rocket Spanish. We wish you all the best with the rest of the course!
