Rocket Languages Reviews

The course is great. The content is better than most. The narrator Amy is slightly annoying, but the content makes up for this.

So, I have finished all of level one of Rocket Spanish and am ready to write a review. Full disclosure. I had a good base of Spanish when starting this program so I was not a total beginner.

1. I loved the level one course.
2. The conversations with Mauricio and Amy were great.
3. The grammar lessons in the language and culture sections give important lessons on Spanish grammar. They are a little dry and can be difficult to get through, but it is grammar what do you expect?
4. The flashcards, hear it, write it, know it, and quiz at the end were all great reviews to make sure you remembered the new stuff. (Though a little monotonous).
5. The price I paid was well worth it. I bought all 3 levels and got a great deal through The MezzofantiGuild. If you look around the internet, you will find great discounts.
6. I really liked the fact that when you buy Rocket Language you get the course for life. Most other programs have a monthly fee and when you stop paying your access stops.
7. I have read some reviews that Amy is annoying. I did not find that to be the case in the level 1 course. I did do the first lesson in level 2 and Amy was a little annoying in that one so we shall see how that goes.

There are a lot of Spanish programs to choose from. I looked at a lot of reviews before deciding on Rocket Spanish and I am glad I chose this program to enhance my Spanish speaking.

Loving this course has everything you need to learn on a modern platform, very well thought out-- has all the angles covered for easy, effective and fun learning.

I'm enjoying Rocket languages with both Spanish and Chinese.

With a 1200+ day streak on Duolingo, and some work on Memrise, I feel I have a decent vocabulary. Rocket is filling a big void in oral comprehension and speaking. I started at the beginning rather than jumping ahead, which was a good move. I really appreciate that all speaking is done by real people -- no computer generated voices.

As someone that originally wanted to travel to Japan to learn the language, but lack the funds to make that dream a reality at this current time, This was the next best option!

I'm still only a couple lessons in to it but I'm already loving how well made and designed the lesson are and how easy and clear its been made to understand and learn, always thought learning a language would be daunting, but Rocket has made it fun and easier if nothing else. I hope that by the time, if not before I finish this course I would have saved enough funds to travel to japan, and I have no doubts that rocket will have set me up for successes for when I do.

Flaw & Suggestions

If I was to point out or suggest anything that would be a bonus and that I think the lack of is holding this back from being a Full 5* it would be the Vocab lesson having more of the Japanese that was in the audio lessons present as well.

I went from only knowing how to count to ten in Spanish to being able to have short conversations in less than 4 days!

The most I like about the Rocket Japanese is the early and frequent use of conversational lessons. I have only started the program a week ago, and so far it is has been an enjoyable experience.
I hope the platform can add links to shows to watch and songs to help learn and practice the language.

I think Rocket Languages gives you everything that you need to use as a foreign language learner. Input and output are important to understanding language and being able to produce it, respectively. The lessons are EXTENSIVE, which is great for a beginner who needs all the output and input possible. I'm starting to find the lessons too long; not the recordings, but the entire lessons. This may be because I have just started trying to focus more on my input (reading, listening, and doing both simultaneously), so there are parts of the lessons that make me spend more time than I'd like.

I already get output practice with a tutor two times a week (2 hrs) and with my sentence mines from Anki every day. That being said, Rocket Languages gives you a WHOLE LOT OF USEFUL sentences and phrases to remember (if you choose to remember them); they can be mined in a spaced repetition deck like Anki, Quizlet, or whatever.

All-in-all, Rocket Languages seems to give you the most comprehensive method for improving your language skills ESPECIALLY for the price! So the value is top-notch!

I'd just recommend supplementing your teachings here with your own sentence mines in a spaced repetition system like ANKI and weekly tutoring from a live, native speaker in your target language.

Just starting and already love the format, many great exercises, feel like Im learning.
