I enjoyed the testing the most. So many options on how to learn the language. Saying it, Writing it, and Listening to it. Easy to follow lessons. The teachers are fun to listen to and engage you to really listen.
This is a great tool to learn another language and I would definitely recommend it to my friends. In fact, I did recommend it today and she purchased it. Now we are learning together and can converse at work.
It is good for someone who knows nothing to be able to gain useful phrases and to practice the proper pronunciation. The material covers a good range of every day communication which is good if you are planning to use this for traveling.
Probably a good jump start to begin using the language right away.
The dialogues are really helpful for understanding real Spanish, not just the usual sample sentences contained in most Spanish textbooks. The audio is also key to perfecting one's pronunciation and increasing comprehension.
Rocket Languages is motivating me to daily practice with the many activities!!! I especially enjoy listening to the oral example and then taping my version. I feel that it will be difficult for me to learn German at 64 years of age, but I am motivated to converse on my trip to Europe in June 2015!!!
I'm enjoying this course so far. It turns out that I am rediscovering my schoolboy French very easily. New words take so much longer but I'll keep at it.
One thing to improve if possible. The special character screen keyboard does not have nearly enough French characters in it. Please uprate (or show me what I'm missing).
Thanks.
The experience seems to be good as of now. Love it..I am confident that I will do good. Day by day i feel i will get more interest in learning new stuffs and I should be well versed in Japanese. Waiting for that day.
Overall a decent program. I listened to the audio for the most part. The games started out being fun, but ended up being a little simple and repetitive. There are two things I would appreciate:
1. Organized sets of rules for verb conjugations, prepositions, etc. I ended up with several sheets from my high school Spanish class, and even though this program was so much better overall, this is the one thing that would've helped.
2. Simple videos, readings, or audio that is understandable from the current lesson and lessons before. Even if it was something like "See Jack run" it would be helpful and informative for Spanish learning.
I got Rocket Spanish four years ago after much hemming and hawing. I wanted to become a bilingual Spanish teacher for elementary grades (I did ;). I was preparing for 6 weeks of Spanish Language immersion in Costa Rica, and wanted to make the most of my time there. I didn't want to waste time learning the Basics in a foreign country.
I started with the Premium program, because I was leery of the cost and not sure of the quality. I was quickly convinced it was a solid investment, and decided Premium Plus would be a worthwhile. I had a great time in Costa Rica, and felt like my Spanish foundations were solid. I love Mauricio, and especially his mom. I enjoyed the audio conversations, so listening to them was never a chore.
Here I am four years later, and now I need to learn Chinese (my fiance is Chinese, and his family is visiting soon, for the wedding :). I've looked at lots of programs, and I am having as much trouble as when I was looking for Spanish programs. I thought I should give Rocket Languages another shot.
I logged in to my old account, No Problem!!! It's been four years, I was expecting my account to have been de-actived. Nope, it was waiting for me the whole time. Reflecting on my positive Spanish experience, I'm going to give Rocket Chinese a try. I am optimistic I will be able to leave another glowing review.
My first lesson was easy and a great first step towards mastering Spanish. My goal is to be able to converse with many of my neighbors and friends living in New Mexico. I plan to spend a couple of hours each day learning Spanish.
