Rocket Spanish Reviews

I really enjoy Rocket Languages, there is a ton of content! Speech recognition works very well!

Today is my 100th consecutive day [I am on 13.1] I am so glad I purchased RS.
Take advantage of their free trial and see for yourself.
I researched a variety of Spanish learning options. I decided I needed a solid, well-thought-out program that would be my every single day go-to “class”. I get to read as I listen (visual learner) and then I do their Activities. Later I use many other inputs (podcasts, youtube, readers, duolingo story, children’s bible) with my interest (bees, surfing, running) being the guide and allow myself to hop around on a whim.
With the confidence I gained, I finally cooked up enough courage and began using ConversationExchange. This has led me to ‘just going for it’ with locals I think might be monolingual Sp speakers. My Sp is ‘not perfect’, but I can communicate and I am improving every day, and having fun!
Some highlights of RS for me: I can listen on my trail runs and biking, interesting hosts/topics, Activities (what you sow is what you reap), ‘pep-talk’ section, cogent, computer or phone, convenience. It forced me/allowed me to develop my listening/speaking at my own pace and comfort level. Hopefully next summer will be covid-safe to visit Costa Rica and I will have completed Level 3 (with lots of review also) and I will be even stronger with my Sp.

I really like how the conversation is broken down so that you understand each word, and the Hear It, Say It and Know It features really help my pronunciation. I feel that I have been able to retain the sentences I learn in the Interactive Audios. I also like how we are given opportunities to answer questions during the dialogues so that we can practice speaking on the fly. There are a lot of additional features and tools in the Survival Kit and Language & Culture sections; I really have gotten so much value for my money!

I am an ESL teacher and I purchased both French and Spanish for my homeschoolers. I am impressed with how much they have learned and retained. We have tried many other programs and apps, but none seemed to have all parts of language learning offered. Rocket Languages is easy to use and helps to train the ear to native speaking. I like that it also encompasses reading, writing, and some parts of grammar without being overdone with endless drills. The only thing I would change is through the use of pictures to reinforce vocabulary possibly in a vocabulary flashcard sort of way. Overall a great program!

I researched many programs before my decision to buy Rocket Languages and am very happy with my decision to go with this one. I really like all the reinforcement they offer from pronunciation, flash cards, spelling reinforcement, explanations of masculine and feminine usage, listening and responding to conversations and much more. It is thorough and complete in its instruction. I chose Spanish as I have many Hispanic friends to practice with and love visiting Central and South America. I have already recommended this course to several friends. They have a free trial too which i took advantage of and is a great offer to see if you are comfortable with the structure. I am completely satisfied.

I've tried a number of language learning systems, and Rocket Spanish is by far the best fit for me. I've already recommended it to a number of friends.

I purchased my Rocket Spanish at a time in my life when I thought I would be able to learn Spanish in a few weeks or months. Man was I wrong, it takes determination and dedication, like when I was learning Guitar, which both require a personal investment of your time, there is no short cut or quick fix . If you want something badly enough there is a cost, and it is your time, but believe me this is the way to learn Spanish.
Once you have learned something it is essential that you do not move along too fast as the things you thought you knew, are quite easily forgotten. So I try to get back to parts of the language where I am weaker, or just need refreshment.
I am 68 years old and live in Canada, and I want to succeed with learning Spanish soooooo very much now. I am sure my mind is not as quick, active and able to perform , like it used to when I was a lot younger. But aside from the stumbling blocks, I am determined to continue learning and be more proficient, in a language that I love.
My wife and I like to travel to latin countries , as we love their culture, and warmth to travelers.

Rocket Languages should be the first name, and the only name, in the world of learning languages. Ease of use creates an environment where it becomes fun to learn. Being bilingual should be in everybody's repertoire.

I've taken several college level Spanish courses and learned words and conjugations but very little speaking and that is my weakness. I started with the first lesson on Rocket, and I found the hearing, speaking, and reading along with immediate reinforcement has really helped my ability to communicate in Spanish. I've just finished the first section of level 1 and my confidence has improved.

I started to learn Spanish at an Adult Community College and it was hard going because there were insufficient resources and I was hampered by the pace of other learners.

I researched many online systems but settled for Rocket Languages for a few reasons:
1) It's good value for money and has received good reviews
2) All of the resources are downloadable for offline use
3) With a 60 day money back guarentee, how can you go wrong?

Now I have some experience with the system I can say that the content is very good, everything so far seems to be explained accurately. There are interactive lessons with voice recognition, so learners can check their pronunciation, quizes, flash cards, written tests and more. The system itself is easy to navigate.

Learners work at their own pace and can go quickly over items that are already known or lessons can be repeated where required.

Only one minor criticism so far and that is I wanted the course for trips to Spain not Latin America, but I knew this before buying the course. I can overcome the minor differences by drawing on existing knowledge or the information could easily be researched.
