I started with Rocket German several years ago but somehow got lost in the shuffle of time and situations. I have re-opened my account and find a completely new format so will have to browse the site extensively to feel comfortable but it looks very interesting and seems to have great potential. Thank you.

Sorry, it is too early for me to give you a review of your course.
Can I use Whatsapp instead of opening the computer to view your course?
I am not sure I would buy it again, and I am not sure .......
I've only a novice user of Rocket Language - it is highly recommended by the PC Magazine review. My review rating is tentative as I am an inexperienced user - but from what I see and hear it is very good. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2381904,00.asp
So with Rocket's help I am looking forward to the journey
- ifs its got to be, its up to me now.
I am enjoying the opportunity to exercise different styles of learning (listening, speaking, and writing). However, I am frustrated that the transcripts don't always reflect what I have said. Listening to my voice proves that.
Pretty happy overall with the medium for learning. I often use it on the go, walking or driving, when I can't check the screen, so the spelling of some words are not obvious until I get time to review them. Otherwise quite happy.

I'm very happy with the format and tools provided. It's always good to approach learning from multiple angle, and super important in language learning to have conversations. Rocket is providing all these things. The one thing I don't like is that the early lessons are teaching the "familiar" form of you, and not teaching the "formal" at all. I'm learning for the sake of speaking to my father's caregiver, and I know she prefers Usted. I've also gotten horrible stares when I accidentally used familiar conjugation when trying to practice Spanish with Spanish speaking acquaintances. I know there are places that don't use the formal, but in places that do, I believe survival Spanish (ordering from a menu, etc) would be much better used with the formal, which is always respectful with people you don't know. And would be understood as meaning to be respectful even in places it's not commonly used.

Thanks so much for your review. We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the Rocket teaching method! As for formal vs. informal forms of address in our lessons, we do start out with informal conversations in the first few Interactive Audio lessons, but if you keep going, you will find formal conversations as well, as early as Lesson 1.4! And if you're looking specifically to practice ordering formally in a restaurant or at a bakery, you can find conversations on those topics in Module 4. You can also find both the formal and informal forms being taught right from the very beginning in our Language & Culture lessons. I hope that this is helpful!
I have tried every, and I mean EVERY language learning platform to date. Each and every one had their ups and downs, but I found the program that had the least amount of 'downs' was Rocket by far. My only real complaints are that the platform is a bit outdated feeling and glitchy, and it also costs more than seemingly any other learning service. It also can be redundant and boring at times, which is a factor in many other platforms, too. All the same, I feel Rocket is the most accurate and realistic over any other program out there. It is concise, explanatory, and has a good mix of material and usage. I feel I am finally learning Spanish the correct way, as I would in school, without having to actually be in a classroom or pay thousands of dollars. I really recommend Rocket to anyone learning a language. I am so glad I caved and paid for it and don't regret it one bit. I can't wait to see how far I come with it!

Hi Sabrina, thank you so much for you review and for your kind words about Rocket Spanish. We are also working on updating our course to make it the best it can be for our learners. We hope that this doesn't keep the program feeling outdated. It's great to hear that you are enjoying the course enough to recommend it. We wish you all the best with your Spanish journey!
Overall this is a very good program.
*I compare this with DuoLingo online learning as well as a personal coach I use with Verbling. Also against Babble
which I used for 6 months.
*Price is kind of high but it is for a complete program so I'm neutral on this rating.
*Lessons are interesting. I could use less of the banter but still, very good content when focused on actual language
skills. Of great importance to me are the moderators speaking in a clear and moderate speed. Rocket delivers on
this!
* Now to my most concerning (to me) knock...Some of the exercises are terribly long in the Language and Cultural
sections. It's not uncommon to have 50, 60 or greater than 70 words, phrases or sentences to learn, memorize and
recite back. Personally, I get very frustrated when i fail due to sheer volume of material. Knowing how difficult and
frustrating these exercises are, I have to fight the urge to simply by-pass these sections. Reducing the volume within
Language and Cultural modules would be a huge plus for me.

Hi Fred - Thanks for the feedback! Regarding your point about the length of the lessons, we are currently reviewing all of the Language & Culture lessons, and the amount of phrases is one thing that we will be looking at. In saying that, having an abundance of phrases to learn is not a bad thing!
I like everything. But sometimes is hard to repeat the whole sentence. It would be easier if it was word by word.
