Very friendy interface. Now i'm learning my fifth language with rocket. Enjoing accessibilty. Mobile version helps greatly. Thanks. My son likes rocket too. Maybe it would be helpful to add more verb drills.
Rocket Spanish is well organized and fairly easy to use. I definitely like the experience and the process. HOWEVER - They are very wishy-washy with the meanings of phrases. In an effort to teach you different phrases to say the same thing, the designers forget that words have meaning. For example, early in the lessons you discuss someone's job. They tell you that the question, "What do you do?" can be asked ?Que haces?, which is correct. Unfortunately, they also tell you that you can say, ?En que trabajas?, which is not correct. That phrase means, "What is your work?". It may sound like I'm knit-picking, bc in the context of the conversation, either phrase will do, but it is confusing when I don't know what you are asking for. In the testing, it asks me to say in Spanish "What do you you?", but it says that I was incorrect bc I responded ?Que haces?. - WHICH IS CORRECT!! The designer of the course wanted me to say ?En que trabajas?. The student isn't a mind reader, and when he/she tries to apply the words learned, it is easy to get confused. Again, words have meaning. It is lazy to say that it is "close enough", when it is in-fact no where near what you are trying to say.
I purchased Rocket Languages Spanish and German over five years ago and did so because the program was rather inexpensive when compared to Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur which I have also purchased and enjoy. I do feel Rocket Languages is actually the better of the three programs and the reason I purchased two languages was because I can use Spanish everyday at work. I have a lot of patients who only speak Spanish and I have to rely on others to translate for me and I am getting tired of relying on them. I chose German because I used to live in Germany and tried to learn the language but everyone spoke English so I seldom had an opportunity to practice German. I will say I like the Spanish program better than the German one because Mauricio sends me weekly updates to encourage me to continue practicing with new phrases . I haven't heard from Paul in five years. Since Mauricio send me the updates I started thinking last week if I had just studied for 15 minutes a day these past five years I would probably be fluent enough to converse with my patients so I decided to reengage with rocket languages and see where the next five years finds me. Hasta Pronto
All in all the program is very good. I like that I am able to record my attempt at pronunciation and then hear it back. The scoring, on the other hand could use some fine tuning. I chose the role playing lessons and now that I'm using it, I don't think it is what I should have chosen. I believe I would do better starting at level one learning the basics of the language before trying to have a conversation.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi David, once you have finished listening to the audio tracks in your Audio Lessons, you should be able to complete the Role Playing activity without any issue. Make sure to listen to these tracks and you'll be amazed at how much you understand in the conversation. All the best!
C'est tres bon! I feel like I will be making good progress and building a strong foundation for my ability to converse in French.
It is a fun and easy way to learn spanish or french. They are very generous with the amount of information they share. Easy to use and it keeps track of your progress helping you stay on course.
They even record your own voice to help you hear your own progress.
I think this would be the best choice for you guys who wants to learn korean. They have the well structure for the beginner. And now my friend and I are using this learning system together, it helps us to figure out how to pronounce the correct accent in korean.
I have been using Duolingo because it's free, but it's not meeting my needs. I like that Rocket Spanish helps with my pronunciation, which Duolingo did not. I had a coupon so I'm willing to give Rocket Spanish a try for 60 days! Plus, I already had the headphones with a mic so why not??
Rocket German is a great German learning course. The lessons cover the most common life situations, although sometimes more examples of different variations of the same situation would be nice. I like that there are two indicators how well you know a certain lesson ("hear it", "learn it"), which is useful for tracking to your progress.
