I am satisfied with the service and I have a suggestion what can be improved further. I like the idea of a comprehensive course available at any time. What I miss is downloadable audios - not the dialogues, but the phrases. The phrases are extremely important and helpful in learning a language. I could easily skip dialogues (I don't), let alone those long 25-minute audios with lots of talk in English (enjoyable but mostly waste of time to be honest, too much of unnecessary chatter). So far I have been sitting in front of my monitor for hours to learn the language, staying focused which is a key to learning. But this is such a luxury which you only enjoy in rare periods during your annual cycle. Most of the time you end up downprioritising the language course due to other urgences. I could use recorded phrases - all of them in a lesson or, even better, those I mark with a star for my own collection which also is a nice service - to listen to them while I have no time to sit down at my desk.

Just started Rocket Spanish, after getting great results with Rocket German. Both courses are super! Now I'm learning to speak, not just read and write German, and quickly Spanish, too. The narrators' voices are sympathetic, and also very kind and sincere. Lots of cultural things to learn in the background. I'm learning languages mostly to sing and am achieving a lot there, too. Let's all enjoy learning. My lifestyle motto is: Live and Learn! Die and Lie!

Although I am progressing in the course, I don't like the fact that the introduction of new vocabulary (flashcards, etc.) is not accompanied by images and figures.
Images are a resource that helps a lot in memorizing new words/terms and it doesn't seem to be very difficult to include in the course, especially for the price charged for it.

Response from Rocket Languages

Thank you for your feedback, Diogo! We understand that as a visual learner, having images alongside the flashcards might better support your learning. However, since our course caters to a wide range of learning styles and considering the numerous flashcards throughout the course, we cannot implement this right away. Please know that your suggestion has been noted, and in the meantime, we recommend checking out the Saved Vocab feature in the Tools section. This feature allows you to download a unique vocabulary list to which you can add your own images after downloading. All the best!

I have tried a few other online program for learning Spanish, they were ok but there were always something missing , until I have learned about Rocket Spanish in one of the YouTube travel channel and I start using it , it works perfectly for me , it is very organized and easy to follow each lessen and courses . I would recommend it to all beginner like myself who wants to start from zero . it explain very well and each lessen takes half an hour to one hour only ,you can install the app on multiple devices and learn Spanish where and whenever you can , I use it even when I'm in the bus from home to work . RECOMMENDED

Very polished application. I like that you can learn at your own pace, and that you are learning Spanish used in everyday conversations. I also like how each lesson is framed into a real life scenario, this helps put me into a situation I feel would actually happen. The only takeaway is that I wish each lesson's test portion was longer/more challenging, but this is supplemented by the end-of-module comprehensive test. Overall, very pleased with the Rocket Spanish product.

Nothing "awesome" to say. I thought you wanted my honest, candid feedback. Still waiting for help on the problem of inserting special characters in the writing practice section of lessons. Rocket told me I must wait two to four days.

I get the impression Rocket also doesn't teach grammar either—at least not overtly. Disappointing.

What's your return policy?

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Bruce - The special character issue on Rocket French "Write it!" exercises has been resolved by adding in special keys for the French characters. Grammar is taught extensively in the Language and Culture lessons, did you see those? And, finally, if you decide that it's not for you then we have a 60 day full money back guarantee. Just contact customer support.

The system, so far, seems good, though I dislike the way it's presented (e.g., the often "cute" wording and the constant exclamation points).
But I truly resent the constant spam from Rocket Languages that began the moment I paid, and that continue despite my making every attempt to unsubscribe.
And I hate the high-pressure sales technique and the "snake oil" methods of pushing the product. I was hard pressed to buy the program with how it was being marketed, and only the generally very favorable reviews, and the money-back guarantee, made me overlook the insulting marketing.
An email to Rocket explaining these opinions remains unanswered at writing.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Thomas - I am sorry that you have an issue with our marketing. In saying that, every email does have an unsubscribe link.

Rocket Spanish is great. It helped me significantly on my trip to Spain. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wishes to travel to a Spanish speaking country or just wishes to improve conversational skills. Easy to use.

I like this program a lot. I have it for two languages. It is good for learning grammar, both in sentence structure and formality levels.

The only thing i would like more is if you were taught more vocabulary right from the beginning because learning everything as part of a sentence can make it hard to separate words for me.

But i like that they have sections and tips and explanations to help you learn to speak the languages like a native. It let's you know why you say something a certain way and explains what each thing means literally while telling you why a native uses a particular phrase instead of how Google translate would put it literally.

Rocket Chinese is really a fantastic way to learn Chinese. No matter where I am I can always work on a lesson. I think it is helping me a lot. I recommend it to anyone who is serious about learning Chinese.
