Learning a language is lifelong commitment but with a bit more practice we're sure that your Spanish abilities will take off in no time!
I enjoy the course work and information so far. The voice voice recognition sucks. Had a French speaking friend speak as a test and she had the same experience. If this program tells a woman from Montreal that she's wrong or can't register her speech, then it just frustrates the learner and makes for a bad design.

Hi Eric, thank you for your feedback, we're sorry to hear that the voice recognition feature is not working for you. Our friendly customer support team has emailed you in order to get a better understanding of the technical issues you are experiencing and resolve the issue. All the best!
Audio does not work, neither for initial pronunciation, nor playback. When I try to listen "session aborted" appears.

Hi Marguerite, thank you for your review, I'm sorry to hear you are continuing to experience issues with the audio features of Rocket Languages. We have contacted you via email in order to resolve this issue. All the best!
The speech recognition software is terrible. If it wants to give you a score from 0 to 100, I'm fine with that but to have to keep on repeating myself and yelling only to see "I didn't catch that try again" is more than frustrating. So I'm just skipping trying to talk into the mic for now. And my Google Chrome is updated. My mic is a very good one.

So far I find the recording of my voice/voice recognition extremely frustrating. I have used a headset, my airpods and nothing at all and it doesn't recognize what I saw half the time. Even easy words like ciao and sei. Everything else is ok so far, not totally user friendly. I will try it out longer and see how it goes. But, I strongly recommend working on the voice recognition. There are many products out there that work really well with this, such as Dragon my Nuance. Maybe use their software to recognize what people are saying.

So much potential….but the play buttons in the app work sporadically. Records just fine and voice recognition is great. But I Have to reboot my iPad Air quite often to clear the issue. Note that The coin is flipped on the web site - which I tried hoping to address the play buttons in the app not working. Well - the play buttons work fine on the web site - but the voice record says “having trouble” on every single item. And I am, per the instructions, using safari and the red microphone is on (not crossed out or greyed out). As such - this tool can’t really be used. Will try tomorrow - maybe a server issue. Ready to request full refund if issue(s) persist. Exasperating experience. May resort to old fashioned Pimsleur CDs to prepare for vacation to france in a few months.

Hi Jeff, thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing these difficulties. We have sent you an email to follow up with you on this.
Very monotonous and hard to follow material. I can't keep engaged in the material. Super boring content.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Thelma, we are so sorry to hear that you are not engaging with the course material. We have sent you an email following up on this.
I purchased the English rocket language, but I have encountered some issues with the audio on the Android app. The words and phrases do not play correctly, but they do work properly on the laptop browser. However, when trying to record on the laptop browser, only the last part of the word or half of the sentence is recorded, which is very inconvenient. As a solution, I have been playing the words and sentences on my laptop browser and attempting to record on the Android app. Rocket language has a 60-day refund policy, so I will be requesting a full refund due to these issues.
