Rocket Spanish Reviews

I love how the lessons are set up to repeat the vocabulary and reinforce understanding. The multiple methods of teaching allow the learner to hear, speak, and write the words and phrases in the lessons. Great!

I'm really liking the Rocket Spanish courses. The program helps you learn in so many different ways. And being able to record yourself and see if your pronunciation is accurate is a huge help. I would definitely say it's worth the investment.

I am having an excellent experience so far. Thank you Tom Woods for the recommendation.

This is great for hearing frequent conversation. Problems with speech recognition are frequently perhaps 50 percent of the time I cannot use voice

This course works for me becuse it has a step by step approach that teaches by buiding on previously taught words and sentences.

I am enjoying the course.

The lessons starts off simple, but suprisingly converstations begin to be possible.
The repetition, speaking, reading and writing exercises all reinforce each other.
The culture lessons are a nice plus.
It is not a magic course, I have to put work into it, but it is well worth the time and effort.

After only six Spanish lessons I happened to drive past a beer garden in a small town in Texas. There was a sign in the front that had a hand drawn humorous quip written in Spanish. I knew what it said! There was no stopping and mentally translating. I just read it and understood!

Excellent so far -- love all the options to practice, including speaking and writing.

I think the Rocket format is a solid tool for learning - especially for beginners. Each lesson is a conversation between two people that you study and use to learn vocabulary and grammar. I always enjoyed that the format gave me little "stories" I could grab on to as memory aids. It really gave me a great start.

As my enthusiasm waned, as it always will when learning something new and moving past the beginner phase, I found that the rocket format started to bog me down a little. Some lessons would have over 60 phrases to practice and memorize. I'd get bogged down trying to get through the homework. I felt my learning speed was slowing down as I entered Level 2 of the course, and I began to turn to other tools like "Spanish Dict (spanishdict.com)" to augment the material and speed me up.

I think the course could be improved drastically in three ways.

1) Shorten Lessons. People like to move through lessons quickly. It produces a sense of accomplishment. This means, reducing the number of phrases to be mastered in each lesson.

2) Enhance Memorization Tools. There are well known systems for reviewing words and the idea of building a deck of flashcards you can continuously review is missing from the toolkit of Rocket Spanish.
