I use the audio lessons most. Haven't ever down loaded the documents. Too huge. Wish it was in book form and came with the program. I would have paid a little extra for that option I also like the girl. It is easier to understand her when she speaks spanish as she is not as fast as the native speakers.
Although quite new to this program, already I have learned much more than from a competitor. The learning is fun, repetitive (which is much needed!) and the lessons are given in a variety of settings which helps to solidify what I'm learning. When I have found it necessary to contact Customer Service, I have been very happy with the quick, polite and thorough responses.
This is my first time using the computer exclusively to attempt to learn Spanish, or study any subject, really. So far, I find it very satisfactory.
I'm having a little difficulty with the Spanish keyboard is there not an "inverted" ?
Response from Rocket Languages
Response from Rocket Languages: If you are using the keyboard on Write it! just click the "Shift" button and ¿ will be at top right of the keyboard. Alternatively, this article should help with additional Spanish characters https://sites.google.com/a/orono.k12.mn.us/studenttech/foreign-language/creating-spanish-characters-and-accent-marks-on-a-windows-keyboard
Unlike Rosetta stone this teaches you things you can actually use and provides actual instruction. There is a good mixture of interactive audio lessons, activities, flash cards, review and more. It's nice to hear a native speaker and a non native (American) one too. I enjoy that this include some cultural pointers too. I can avoid ordering the wrong type of coffee for the wrong time of day! The mobile app seems a bit unresponsive. This has led me to doing most things on my Mac and listening to the audio portion on my iPhone on the way to work. I took a couple of years of Italian in college and this is a good way to learn all I forgot. It's helpful to have an explanation of some of the literal phases. Overall, great product for the money.
I wish every lesson was interactive and I could learn to to pronounce big words and phrases slowly. This way I would be able to speak with a more clear pronunciation. I would feel more confident and excited about studying.
So far so good... I've tried and tossed two other Spanish apps... I felt Rocket Spanish was worth a shot and now think I'll be able to gain the level of conversational Spanish to not look like a total idiot.
I love that the program is available to me for a lifetime. I haven't explored the support forums much but when I have they were very helpful and quick to respond. I am really impressed with this program, and after studying Level 1 and half of Level 2 I took a trip to Quebec and was able to communicate pretty well.
I'm happy that I can continue to study according to my own schedule and when I am ready to study another language, I will definitely use Rocket.
The classes are simply awesome, especially the interactive sessions. They make you feel like you are already on your way to speaking great German! The pronunciations and grammatical nuances are clearly explained and there are lots of examples to learn from. I love Rocket German!!
Rocket Spanish is quite engaging. It has a good mix of verbal, written and listening practice, addressing different learning styles. The balance between speaking and learning the grammar is excellent. Amy and Mauricio are excellent Spanish mentors whose voices are pleasant, easy to listen to and encouraging.
I have been working with duolingo for about a year now and while this program has certainly helped to expand my vocabulary I did not see how it would help me to engage in any conversation. I am now working every day with the Rocket Spanish program and love the approach. I am now learning in a way that will allow me to learn things that I will be able to use in daily situations that I hope to encounter in my future travels.
