Rocket Spanish Reviews

I first want to say that I have had a Rocket Spanish membership since 2008. I had let the product sort of go to the back of my Spanish learning toolbox as I was pursuing my degree in Social Work, and as part of this I had to take a language at my university, which of course, since my husband is from Mexico, I chose Spanish. I did, too, purchase Rosetta Stone, and have used that in addition to the classes I took at the university, however the one BIG difference between Rocket Spanish and Rosetta Stone is the subscription basis for the online component of Rosetta Stone. This has, over the time that I have used it, made Rosetta Stone extremely expensive. Recently I have started to use Rocket Spanish again, and after a little confusion in the online testing area (was not realizing that the "reveal" button was below the fold, so could not understand how to move forward) I have become completely enamored with it. So many nuances of the language were made clear by explanations that Amy gives as part of the audio portion of the program. Additionally the testing where the student takes the role of Amy or Mauricio is just fantastic.

It was a great experience to have a class with a Spanish native speaker. Cristian was fantastic, easy going, well prepared for the class and to give me advice on the lessons I should take on the course to reinforce my learning during and after class. I really like that he taught about the different Spanish accents and how he could push me to my limits and working from there. Five stars!

So far I have to give your course an overall grade of "A". I am getting some good experience. Even though sometimes I stray away from Rocket Spanish in order to get real time speaking experience, I always come back to Rocket Spanish. What I like best about Rocket Spanish is the speaking exercises in the testing portion of this course. I also like the way the course is presented to you with Mauricio, Amy and Carmen. Right now I am taking the intermediate level course, looking forward to the advanced course.

Overall a decent program. I listened to the audio for the most part. The games started out being fun, but ended up being a little simple and repetitive. There are two things I would appreciate:
1. Organized sets of rules for verb conjugations, prepositions, etc. I ended up with several sheets from my high school Spanish class, and even though this program was so much better overall, this is the one thing that would've helped.
2. Simple videos, readings, or audio that is understandable from the current lesson and lessons before. Even if it was something like "See Jack run" it would be helpful and informative for Spanish learning.

I`m new here and so far I really like it.
Since i`ve paid for it, I`m motivated to learn the `good` spanish.
We `re going to study some in Spain for the next three weeks.
Now refresh the vocab and let`s hope that there will be a higher level waiting then A1 or A2 :-)
After that, the goal will be to get more fluent and be able to talk about anything.
Fingers crossed

I'm glad I found this! I'm a parent who have a son in high school. It help me to help him with his spanish. Still have a long way to go. Without this I don't know where we be, been searching for way to learn more til I found this.

I keep coming back to Rocket Spanish because it just make sense in the flow of study. I have tried every other course and this seems to be the one that "clicks" for me, has the right mix between audio and visual (reading) material.

I got Rocket Spanish four years ago after much hemming and hawing. I wanted to become a bilingual Spanish teacher for elementary grades (I did ;). I was preparing for 6 weeks of Spanish Language immersion in Costa Rica, and wanted to make the most of my time there. I didn't want to waste time learning the Basics in a foreign country.

I started with the Premium program, because I was leery of the cost and not sure of the quality. I was quickly convinced it was a solid investment, and decided Premium Plus would be a worthwhile. I had a great time in Costa Rica, and felt like my Spanish foundations were solid. I love Mauricio, and especially his mom. I enjoyed the audio conversations, so listening to them was never a chore.

Here I am four years later, and now I need to learn Chinese (my fiance is Chinese, and his family is visiting soon, for the wedding :). I've looked at lots of programs, and I am having as much trouble as when I was looking for Spanish programs. I thought I should give Rocket Languages another shot.

I logged in to my old account, No Problem!!! It's been four years, I was expecting my account to have been de-actived. Nope, it was waiting for me the whole time. Reflecting on my positive Spanish experience, I'm going to give Rocket Chinese a try. I am optimistic I will be able to leave another glowing review.

I really like the audio lessons with the English explanation, it is so comprehensive. The additional phrases are really relevant to the lesson, a good extension to the audio. The testing is very helpful and helps to meter learning. Gracias. Joanne

My first lesson was easy and a great first step towards mastering Spanish. My goal is to be able to converse with many of my neighbors and friends living in New Mexico. I plan to spend a couple of hours each day learning Spanish.
