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.

I've been using this course for two years plus now, and that I still continue to use it daily demonstrates that it does a good job of keeping me motivated.

Ultimately, with learning any language, it's good to use as wide selection of different sources, which I still do, and you should definitely do anyway - healthy way to learn.

The strength of this course is that lessons are broken up in a very logical way; lesson length and difficulty is scaled up at a good pace; the desktop and mobile experience content-wise is the same, though presented accordingly; and the tests give you good motivation to go back and improve and correct your mistakes.

Most importantly: there is a feedback option, so if you spot inconsistencies or mistakes you can inquire, and I have found the customer service side of things to be constructive and positive - they certainly tolerate my pedantry!

Been doing the Rocket German for about 3 months. So far, I've enjoyed it for the most part and am looking forward to getting into the second Level. My one complaint/suggestion is that I find the written lessons to be poorly set up. The focus looks like it is supposed to be on grammar in many lessons, yet they are taught with 20+ new vocabulary words in many of them. So instead of focusing on the new grammar rules, you get lost trying to figure out what all of the new vocabulary is. Would suggest using only words already known when first introducing a grammar lesson so that the focus is kept on the grammar and not diverted to the new words. I've come out of several of the written lessons with no more knowledge of the grammar rules then when I went in because 90% of the examples were with new vocabulary. Audio lessons are great though, and overall I still think there are many positives. Looking forward to the updated level one German whenever it is due out.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Brian - It's a balancing act to know when new vocabulary should be introduced, as everyone is different in how they learn. Our approach has been to deliver common words and important terminology in our lessons, so that over time the essential vocabulary you need is built up.

This is the best language program I have ever used. Excellent, step-wise instruction. Being able to record and listen to myself and compare with a native speaker is invaluable. I supplement the reading and writing part with Duolingo, but Rocket Japanese is the ONLY way to learn! I spend hours on this program and in just over a month, I have learned so much. It is pricey, but well worth it. Actually it would be cheaper than a full fledged in person course. ありがとうございました!!!!

Although it took me a whole year to get into a habit of using it, I am finally practicing regularly and progressing faster (lockdown meant no more excuses!).

I realized after some time that the timezone was probably set by default to the USA and I couldn't understand why I kept losing my streak even though I was practicing daily. This was initially de-motivating until I discovered I could change my settings very easily and changed the country to New Zealand.

The exercises are well designed to cover the key language areas and I find the system helps cement vocabulary really well. More quiz questions per lesson would be welcome and maybe more diversity of exercise type!

I believe app learning is a good way to get initial exposure to a new language and get a basic foundation in order to sign up to a class with other humans or take a trip overseas. I am confident that after a year of regular Rocket Italian I might be able to go for a level assessment at a language institute and skip the basic levels. I'm very happy with my purchase - it was a good investment and is worth every cent.

I highly recommend Rocket! This program is super engaging and covers all the bases of learning a new language. I'm just finishing up Level 1 of Rocket Italian and have already learned so much.

I initially tried rocket Spanish using my iPad because my laptop was not working properly. I found my headphones would not work and I was very disappointed and thought it was the course design . After receiving a new laptop I tried Rocket Spanish again and so happy I did ! I was able to use what I learned during the trial period on my last trip to Mexico, I'm so excited to learn more! I have tried other online language courses and did not find them nearly as effective as Rocket Spanish...I love it❤️

I started my German-speaking journey with Duolingo, which is great for a foundational base and expanding the basic vocabulary. I know predominantly use Rocket German, while maintaining Duolingo as a complementary vocabulary and a repetition resource.
