Rocket Spanish Reviews

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!

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

I am enjoying the course.

The lessons starts off simple, but surprisingly conversations 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.

I have found no better method for learning Spanish than using Rocket Languages audio lessons while driving to and from work every day.

Prior to learning Spanish with Rocket Languages I tried and failed to learn Spanish for almost 20 years. Albeit, I wasn't attempting to learn Spanish for the entirety of that 20 years, but given the fact that I grew up enrolled in Spanish lessons or classes from the time I was 4 to the time I started high school at 14 years old, you would think I would have remembered something. Not the case. I basically forgot everything I learned once I was no longer being forced to learn by school and my parents.

Then, in my adult life I recognized I would need to know Spanish fluently to achieve what I most wish to accomplish in this life. That left me, at twenty five years old, wishing I had actually applied myself all of those years in elementary Spanish while I was growing up, and feeling like I was "too old" to learn a new language.

My time with Rocket Spanish has utterly obliterated any notion of being "too old" to learn a foreign language. Now I learn Spanish using their interactive audio lesson every day while I drive to and from work.

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

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 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!

So far, the Rocket Spanish Course seems very thorough. If you take advantage of all the features, you learn to speak, write, read and practice. Moreover, you hear both men & women. There is plenty of opportunity to review each lesson in order to master the content. Overall, this is a well thought out course. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

This Spanish course is very comprehensive. I just got to know that even just the audio lessons in itself are a complete Spanish course as well, which is a great thing in case someone wants to become conversational quickly for any reason. Having said that, I also prefer the grammar lessons to be in a detailed textbook style format as that is the best way to properly learn the academic rules of grammar, which Rocket Spanish does very well. I like the fact that there is enough vocabulary in this course that I can achieve my vocab goals as well. I needed a course that teaches upto and covers the B2 level completely, which this course does, and it is hard to find a course that does teach up to B2, most programs cheap out on the B2 level which is not ideal. Despite hearing mixed reviews about the Rocket reinforcement activities, I personally really like them as they help you reinforce the vocab in several different ways. I especially love the activity where we have to speak the translated version of a phrase or sentence.

Practice at own pace, whenever I like. I can take long breaks then pickup again.

I am 93 years old. This course lets me learn at MY pace.
