Rocket Spanish Reviews

The main problem that I have is your web app is flaky. Often, in a completely random way, it fails to record my voice. I have talked with customer service and even sent them a video but that want me to make too many changes to my system and do too much work. They should do the work themselves as part of the QA process. And I know others, like my girlfriend, are having the same problem on their own computers. It I did not have this problem I would give you 4 stars.

The voice of the person speaking in the videos is mad annoying. But besides that the course is not that bad. It's good if you want to learn to write and know how words sound like but the voice recognition don't work at all. Which is the main reason I am giving such a low score, because for how expensive the course is you should be able to learn to speck.

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.

I think that it's pretty useful, but the voice recognition doesn't really work for the languages that I am learning.

I wish you had a true native speaker instead of Amy.

Comprehensive but sometimes doesn't fit my learning style. What i liked, the new role play feature, speaking and the writing practice. What I don't like , the long and often tedious practice sessions (how many times do i have to say "Hola, Amy", especially for the grammer sections which could have more helpful learning examples rather than rote learning phrases. This is especially necessary for difficult topics like object pronouns. Vocab layout is not as good as Duolingo.
The dialogues are good, well explained and generally relevant. Overall its not bad but thinking of switching to an AI style of learning.

So far the pace is overwhelming. I think I would retain more if the lessons were cut in half. Half the time with half the amount of new words. I am also finding some bad issues with the voice recognition. I'm considering going to something lower paced. I don't care if it takes me longer to finish a course. I'm not retaining enough at the pace.

I think this is a very good and effective course, the only thing I would say about ti is that it can get a little wearing after a while, shortening lessons could be an idea.......anyway, good course, just needs to be shortened a little

The good about this program is it is very very targeted towards your listening and speaking. And you will notice your vocabulary and ease of vocal communication improving daily if you put the time in.

The bad news is you need an iron will to push yourself through it because it is SO BORING you'll seriously have a hard time staying awake.

If you can deal with listening, repeating out loud, listening, repeating out loud over and over and over and over again you will learn spanish from this course.

Only 1/2 of the lessons are audio lessons. the lessons that go more deeply into the grammar are all reading and self taught essentially which is VERY disappointing and certainly takes away from the overall value of the course.

So essentially, you teach yourself grammar, the course gives you vocabulary and go get yourself a prescription for methamphetamines so you can stay awake to get the lessons done.

I have tried literally every learning method under the son for learning spanish, I give this course overall 3/5. Effective material, but almost unbearably boring and not worth the full price.

The product is not working and is confusing. The price is okay but some parts are working fine and others are the most horrible thing that is possible is that the "Play it part" is not working and is not compatible my computer and that is causing problems with the learning experience. I would not recommend it to a friend especially with quality headphknes
