Rocket Spanish Reviews

mavillosos el leccion! This is a place to be! so romantic is the spanish language!

I have completed the first level. It is challenging and good in its repetition using speaking, writing and self-rating.

The conversations to listen, follow along with, and repeat after, are pretty good and based in some realistic contexts. They were fine. Also, some of the explanations during the text-based lessons were decent explanations. My main issues are with thereview, the study flashcards, listening and repeating, typing the sentences, then repeating them with only the translation. It felt less like trying to figure out what it was, and instead more on how much I could remember of the sentence or what I could memorize, and after about 45 days it gets old feeling like the only practice after the initial flashcards is memorization of sentences. It would be good to see some variations in those sentences for the flashcards, then the listening and repeat, then typing, then saying it. They could still use the same words maybe and have the overall vibe of the lesson, but when they're all the same exact sentences in the same exact order for four reviews in a row then it isn't really working towards figuring out what to say.

No customer service line, no prompt response to messages. Write it section should be expanded. No mention of punctuation or how to apply such. Useless, in my view, without more help. Pimsleur does a better job of making reviewing a lesson(s) possible. I gave high marks on the satisfaction score because I like the way several parts of the module are taught, better than Pimsleur, I think. Price was also great. I think Pimsleur is too expensive, but their customer service is much, much better than Rocket.

Heard about this spanish course from erica ray on you tube who explained the learning process really well. Thanks Erica and thanks rocket languages. Im enjoying spanish again.

Fun although it is pretty tough to understand the verbs, and all the conjugations, especially the way they describe it. All though with more exposure it becomes natural.

So far, I'm not happy with the way the Spanish course is taught. Lesson 1.7 was hard and seemed out of place. It seems we should have learned numbers, months, and other things first. The voice recognition doesn't seem to work. It will record my voice sometimes but has yet to tell me if I am speaking correctly or not. It only plays back my own voice, but nothing more. Sometimes the voices used by your staff are hard to understand or are speaking too fast for beginners. I'm going to keep trying, but so far, not much is sticking.

It is difficult to begin--there is no easy way to start learning right off the bat, one has to search for the book/lessons. Learning would be easier if you could click a button to take you to a lesson (the most recent), with links to all of the information you need to continue on. This way you can just click start and get back to learning.

I have just begun using this product. I currently use RosettaStone and Fluencia and other online products, some of which are very good. It is too soon to make comparisons. I recognize it is premature to write an accurate review.

I am enjoying the challenge of learning a new language and hope it will result in a workable fluency.I am looking forward to being able to master the more advanced lessons and then to use my new language skills to converse in Spanish with the people I meet on the streets.
