I have been thoroughly impressed with Rocket Language. The best part is that it teaches you how to have real conversations instead of just learning lists of words and conjugations. I have already advanced to the higher level and my proficiency has improved dramatically. I have gone back and listened to lessons that I struggled with in the past, and now, they seem so easy. Rocket Language has been the best source for learning Spanish, more than anything else I have ever tried.
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'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 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.
This program is the best. I have used the Pimsleur course for Spanish and although it is a good program for purely memorization of phrases, it does not teach you the language or explain the verb conjugations or sentence structure. I used the Italian program for my trip to Italy and it was wonderful. Some people actually thought i spoke the language fluently and I had to stop them and slow it down. The program was worth every penny.
I am now using the Spanish program and the difference in my understanding of the language and the speed with which I am learning it as compared to Pimsleur is unbelievable. If you want a program to learn a language and you are willing to put in the time and effort, this is your program.
Audio lessons are a great tool to practice speaking aloud.
It would be great to have audio with the option of slow motion when listening.
Thanks for providing such a great application!!
I have already learnt so much.
I really enjoy the progressive and structural depth of each lesson--hearing a conversation, translating every word, repeating words and phrases, seeing the words written, having my pronunciation compared, flash cards--I can't imagine a better way of doing it!
I also love the daily scoring competition to stimulate a regular learning--I just want to keep extending my streak! It has been fun so far!
I love Rocket Spanish. I've tried Duolingo, it was free, but It got to the point where they were teaching things like "The bird watched the game on TV" and "The cows cleaned the farm yesterday". I also took level one of Destinos, which a story you followed on video, and had a text book and workbook for learning other vocabulary. It was good, but I feel Rocket Spanish is a better fit for me. With Rocket Spanish, I can study on my phone or tablet, so I can take it to work and study during lunch or when I have to travel. Second, I'm not wasting my time learning sentences I would never use in real life. And with Rocket Spanish, it's not just listening and typing a response, but I get to respond vocally as well. Other programs like Rosetta Stone may have this feature, but they don't offer lifetime use and free updates. Finally, I have to say that their customer support is second to none. When I first started I experienced a couple of problems, but both times the customer service people were quick to fix the issues and gete back to my studies right away. Right now I'm half way through level 1, and I'm looking forward to purchasing levels 2 and 3 as well.
I am really enjoy learning rocket Spanish, and would like to see more pictures in the lessons and vocabularies. I am learning better with pictures and audio. I understand everybody learn differently. The audio part is very good at repeating and explain the meaning of words and sentences. I hope this comment is helpful to you. My conclusion is rocket Spanish, is a very powerful tool to learn Spanish language and I love it. Keep up the good work.
This programme is worth every dollar that I've spent on it. It's interactive, easy to understand, with lots of activities and testings to grow your own skills. I am totally addicted to it. I love how I can practice it online and offline with downloadable materials. The programme gives me great motivation to keep learning. I am officially a big fan of Rocket Languages.
