Rocket Spanish Reviews

Just started, completed first lesson set with a sense of "I can actually do this!" That is a complete win in my book all day long!!

I am very pleased with Rocket Language's teaching style, which allows me to comprehend and make sense of Spanish. I like to understand a certain amount of why I am doing something to enjoy the process and have a rewarding experience. Rocket is going over this, whereas all the other apps could not.

This Spanish course is very comprehensive. I just got to know that even just the audio lessons in itself are a complete Spanish course as well, which is a great thing in case someone wants to become conversational quickly for any reason. Having said that, I also prefer the grammar lessons to be in a detailed textbook style format as that is the best way to properly learn the academic rules of grammar, which Rocket Spanish does very well. I like the fact that there is enough vocabulary in this course that I can achieve my vocab goals as well. I needed a course that teaches upto and covers the B2 level completely, which this course does, and it is hard to find a course that does teach up to B2, most programs cheap out on the B2 level which is not ideal. Despite hearing mixed reviews about the Rocket reinforcement activities, I personally really like them as they help you reinforce the vocab in several different ways. I especially love the activity where we have to speak the translated version of a phrase or sentence.

I am enjoying the course. At my age (ocheta y tres) I find my memory has lapses but redoing a session helps me catch up. I am having some difficulty with the voice recognition (particularly "hacer") but blame that on my PC which is also showing its age!

I like this course because it helps me learn new vocabulary, teaches me the rules of how to formulate sentences, and also has several levels such as basic, intermediate, and advanced.

The course is simplified to ease language learning thus making the learning process more interesting. I love it.

It would be nice to interact with someone every now and again. Some lessons audio are a bit too long (25 min) and I think would be better to break them up or have videos instead of audio only. Overall, I am pleased of the format and would like more variety. Longer quizzes might also be improved with variety of testing methods.

I have found no better method for learning Spanish than using Rocket Languages audio lessons while driving to and from work every day.

Prior to learning Spanish with Rocket Languages I tried and failed to learn Spanish for almost 20 years. Albeit, I wasn't attempting to learn Spanish for the entirety of that 20 years, but given the fact that I grew up enrolled in Spanish lessons or classes from the time I was 4 to the time I started high school at 14 years old, you would think I would have remembered something. Not the case. I basically forgot everything I learned once I was no longer being forced to learn by school and my parents.

Then, in my adult life I recognized I would need to know Spanish fluently to achieve what I most wish to accomplish in this life. That left me, at twenty five years old, wishing I had actually applied myself all of those years in elementary Spanish while I was growing up, and feeling like I was "too old" to learn a new language.

My time with Rocket Spanish has utterly obliterated any notion of being "too old" to learn a foreign language. Now I learn Spanish using their interactive audio lesson every day while I drive to and from work.

I like the fact that the program is well-rounded, focusing not only on reading, but also listening, writing and speaking. Also, the ability to redo lessons (or parts of lessons) helps reinforce areas you may feel a little weak on. The lessons build upon the previously learned items, so there is a gradual and logical process. Although the pricing may seem a bit steep (I certainly don't feel that way), when taking into consideration all that is offered, and the high quality of the lessons, I believe it to be an excellent value; as an added bonus, the ability to pay in instalments is a great option. And finally, cultural practices are touched upon to educate learners of situations which may seem different from what someone from an English-speaking culture would be accustomed to. All in all, I highly recommend Rocket Language Spanish as an excellent vehicle to learn the language!

I really like Rocket Spanish – what a great learning tool! I really like the mix of Audio Lessons (conversations) and Language & Culture Lessons (grammar). The Audio Lessons get you speaking and hearing Spanish in a conversation. After listening to the audio lesson you have separate sections that have you focus on Listening, Writing and Speaking – so you really get to engage in the lesson conversation. By the end of the sections I feel I am hearing the lesson directly in Spanish, rather than my brain doing any translating. I also very much like the voices of Mauricio and Amy. Voices are very important as anyone who has listened to an Audio Book knows. The Languages Lessons focus on grammar and they are excellent. Beautifully written, easy to follow and they really cover the material thoroughly. Each Language Lessons also has separate Listening Writing and Speaking sections so the grammar can really sink in. On a separate note, one feature I really like is the Voice Replay feature where your voice is automatically recorded and you can replay it to check on your pronunciation as well as verify you said what you thought you did.
