Rocket Spanish Reviews

Rocket Spanish has significantly improved my comprehension of the Latin American version of the language. I was already competent in the language when I picked up the program, but nearly every lesson has one or two things sneaked into it that I hadn't known or had misunderstood until then. Rocket Spanish has been more helpful for me than apps like Babbel or Duolingo. This is far more a "Spanish Course" than many other products I've seen. I do recommend knowing some vocabulary before purchasing this however. Maybe something like the thousand most frequent words in the language. It does a fine job introducing words to you, but I can't imagine how much tougher the course is if you have to learn the vocabulary on top of the grammar, pronunciation, and while trying to improve your listening comprehension

To much vocab to memorize, practice not good enough

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.

What I like about this course is that it does not expire. I bought it 4 years ago and it was there waiting for me when I picked up learning Spanish again after a two year hiatus. Normally, I don't like recorded Spanish lessons but I have to admit that it is helpful being able to listen to the speaker and then being able to listen to what I recorded in order to compare it with the original.

Although I am loving the course, its not as easy as I initially thought it would be.

I am very happy with the organization of this course. Everything is covered. I am learning to speak, read, write, and add to my vocabulary. I enjoy the information about culture. I wonder if it is possible to add more practice with verbs? The preterit is so difficult.

great way to learn any language, easy with correct process.

I'm using Rocket Spanish with Duolingo, and they are terrific together. Duolingo is easy for learning the individual words and small phrases, but doesn't give much practice with Spanish conversations. Rocket Spanish has longer lessons, but is exclusively Spanish conversations. It then covers the meaning of the conversations in depth, and tests and grades your pronunciation. It also has flash cards, quizzes, and more. I love it!

I have tried a few different online and audio Spanish courses. This one is the best. I enjoy the format. Amy, Mauricio, and Carmen are great.

I am having such a great time. The format is great, the teaching tools are fantastic and I am completely engaged.
