Rocket Spanish Reviews
Find out what actual users have to say about our courses through their Rocket Spanish reviews.
I love the course. However, during this pandemic I can't afford it.
It is very interactive!
I am enjoying the opportunity to exercise different styles of learning (listening, speaking, and writing). However, I am frustrated that the transcripts don't always reflect what I have said. Listening to my voice proves that.
great way to learn any language, easy with correct process.

We are glad to hear that you are enjoying learning Spanish with us. Best of luck with the rest of the course!
I started on a different learning platform that was ok, but I didn't feel that it was going to take me were I wanted to go in my learning journey / ability to communicate. Once I started on this platform I quickly realized that I had made the right choice in moving over. I'm retaining the material better and I'm also confident that when I start booking spaces (italki) to talk to native speaker in preperation for travel that they will pair nicely.
Note: I have no experience with Customer Service as of yet.

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 haven't used customer service, and I'm unlikely to buy again because I used the deal to buy the whole package! But I love this program so far. I'm 2 lessons in and it is so comprehensive. It covers all the important aspects of language learning.

We are thrilled to be a part of your journey in learning the Spanish language!
Rocket language courses are interesting and fun with what seems like a common learning template for all their courses. I purchased several Rocket language courses but they are just the elementary level. I would purchase higher level courses if there were better incentives or deals.
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 awesome for people with a lot of time on their hands, but the lessons are far too long for someone with a busy schedule. The Hear It Say It and Write It sections are absurdly long and time consuming. I wish it were at or below 50.
