Rocket Languages Reviews

After numerous app downloads and other spanish teaching techniques I finally found something that I'm seeing progress with, Rocket Spanish. RS is much more thorough than the app approach to learning, with building blocks of real life sentences and structure. I've improved my dialect and most importantly my "ear" for spanish has improved.
On to level Dos !!

Great course and I have learnt a great deal. My only negative comment is that the course so far (nearly finished level 1) does not give enough teaching on putting the language together, rather it teaches phrases. I am trying to learn the language as I now live in Spain and trying to learn the language.

Lesson 1.7 is about to do me in. I simply cannot understand it when they're saying such long sentences and speaking so rapidly. Then again, I got made fun of once in the 90's Mexico when I said cuatro because I said it so slowly. I'm from the South. I speak English slowly and damned sure can't speak Spanish that fast. I also can't remember all those words and phrases. There were a lot of them in this lesson!

I am particularly impressed with the conversational exercises at then end of the lessons where I can really get to hear how close (or far off) my accent is. I had high-school french 60 years ago, and am now realizing that my accent was way off, and I can now correct it before bad habits become ingrained.

I am currently learning arabic, and have bought a couple of books. One of them recommended this cours, and I am very happy with it. This course focuses on egyptian arabic, but one of my other courses, namely Pimsleur modern standard arabic is a bit different in some aspects. This can be a bit confusing.

I am really enjoying this app. I need lots of help on pronunciation and this a great option to hear myself . With my book studies and U tube to learn Spanish from a beginner level this is another great tool in my toolbox for learning . I want to learn Spanish for travel and I'm excited to be able to communicate with people from other countries.

So far so good! I'm learning phrases fairly quickly. It would be helpful to have a walkthrough on basic letter sounds before starting to dive into phrases and grammar, though. I still can't figure out the r sound and feel like I'm having issues with each lesson as a result.

Like the structure of the course, particularly appreciate the interactive audio and pronunciation checks. Ability to burn courses to MP3 invaluable for learning on the run. Have recommended to others.

Very pleased with the learning experience, the range of spoken and written exercises is very good, definitely a great way to learn a foreign language.

It is a great program and really helps me have the courage to learn my Chinese. I lived in China for years but I had trouble learning the language. The new Rocket tools make it easy for me to build my confidence by letting me hear myself next to the tutors voice. I will be using my Chinese more and it will help me to do better on my next trip to China.
