Find out what actual users have to say about our courses through their Rocket Spanish reviews.
Overall, I'm very satisisfied with the product and approach so far, particularly coming from 7 months of Duolingo. It is a significant upgrade in experience over Duolingo. It has the right balance of drill and practice and grammar fundamentals, in the context of a conversation-driven leaning style. It seems natural and well thought out. I truly appreciate that I can skip what I want in deference to things I already know. I know I will soon get to things I will not be able to skim or skip and I look forward to that. The "say it" element of the structure is excellent. It is forcing me to speak, which is exactly what Duolingo does not do well. I have lots of words and lots of conjugations, but on the spot I am like a deer in the headlights, and Rocket's style forces you to just "talk", mistakes and all, which is great. The speed and clarity of the voice actors is excellent and it makes listening easy and approachable. The rolling text approach on screen is great, as I can look at the scroll when I want to and look away (to test myself better) when I don't want to.
A couple of constructive things to say.

I am enjoying Rocket so far as a junior in high school. I'm not only on Rocket, but I have a teacher from Honduras also teaching me! I enjoy every minute of Rocket and in-class time with my teacher! Here is the reason why I am learning Spanish! I'm a Christian, and my family sponsored a child in Ecuador. I'm learning Spanish in hopes of meeting him and talking to him! I love Rocket and enjoy how fast I am learning! ❤️

Awesome course. I highly recommend Rocket Spanish to anyone interested in learning Spanish at home or on the road.
I've totally enjoyed the time working on my Spanish now when I dreaded it before.

I love this app. It is just pricey, which is frustrating. I am learning so much in just my first day using the desktop and mobile app versions. I wish they gave discounts or giveaways because I would totally pay for the program!

I feel like I have a very good personal tutor - who has an uncanny ability to know what I need help with - hence - a lot of repetition - and what I have learned! I make small progress - but I feel AWESOME about my little bit of Spanish that I know - so with this program I want to keep using it - because it makes me feel good about myself!

Hi Diana, thank you for leaving a review. It's incredible to hear that you are seeing yourself make progress with your Spanish language abilities through using Rocket Spanish. We wish you all the best with your Spanish language learning!
-Brief experience: I've been using this app for approximately one week.
-Enjoyment: While not as entertaining as Duolingo, it's highly effective for enhancing speaking, writing, and quick thinking skills.
-Rapid learning: Achieved more progress with Rocket Languages in one week compared to a month on Duolingo.
-Course structure: Appreciate the well-organized format of the course.
-Technical issues: Encountered bugs on the desktop version, such as muffled audio playback of responses, despite using high-quality microphones like the Blue Yeti and Rode Pod Mic.
-Feature limitation: The response replay feature is currently available only on desktop, not on mobile.
-Affordable pricing: Purchased the Spanish course for $180 using the promo code "Insight 60." Advice not to spend more than this as courses often go on sale at significantly lower prices.
-Potential future purchase: Considering buying another course if there's a Christmas sale offering more than 60% discount, due to the excellent course structure.
-Strong recommendation: Highly recommend the course. Offers a refund option within 60 days if not satisfied.
-User Interface could be a bit better (not bad by any means)

There 5 ways to rate Rocket Languages. The last on is "How was the Customer Service?" There isn't a "not applicable" option. That would be my response! There has never been a need for customer service with in the 3 years or so I have been using these programs. My only request is to shorten the introductions to the lessons. Or maybe only eliminate them all together.

They make it hard to cancel service, why so hard Rocket?
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi James, thank you for your review. Our Customer Support team has already been in contact with you, regarding canceling your account. Given that you can either purchase a Rocket Languages course with a one-time purchase, or a six-month payment plan there is no need to cancel your account. That means, once you have purchased the course, you have lifetime access and no recurring fees. All the best!
Theres truly so much content for such a little price. For better perspective I am on Module 1 lesson 7 and already feel like ive learned a great amount of introductory Spanish. Each Module has 9 or so lessons, each lesson taking easily over an hour long to fully absorb everything and complete the audio portion and the vocabular quizes and stuff. There are 21 modules plus bonus stuff, I can't wait to get further along, I couldn't be happier!!
