Rocket Spanish Reviews
Find out what actual users have to say about our courses through their Rocket Spanish reviews.
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.

Thank you so much, Joel; your story was inspiring to read! It's exactly why we're so passionate about creating our comprehensive language courses at Rocket: to connect people. We totally agree that you're never too old to pick up a second language. We're really looking forward to seeing where your Spanish language learning takes you next, and we're so grateful to have you as part of our language-learning community. Keep up the fantastic work!
It would be nice to interact with someone every now and again. Some lessons audio are a bit too long (25 min) and I think would be better to break them up or have videos instead of audio only. Overall, I am pleased of the format and would like more variety. Longer quizzes might also be improved with variety of testing methods.

Thank you for your review and for all your feedback. We're big on allowing people as much flexibility as possible when they are learning which is why we do not offer any live tutoring or interaction options. We wish you all the best with your Rocket Spanish learning!
I like this course because it helps me learn new vocabulary, teaches me the rules of how to formulate sentences, and also has several levels such as basic, intermediate, and advanced.
Response from Rocket Languages
We believe grammar is so important in learning a language, that's why we teach three levels worth of it! We wish you all the best with your Spanish.
I am enjoying the course. At my age (ocheta y tres) I find my memory has lapses but redoing a session helps me catch up. I am having some difficulty with the voice recognition (particularly "hacer") but blame that on my PC which is also showing its age!

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.

I am very pleased with Rocket Language's teaching style, which allows me to comprehend and make sense of Spanish. I like to understand a certain amount of why I am doing something to enjoy the process and have a rewarding experience. Rocket is going over this, whereas all the other apps could not.

Just started, completed first lesson set with a sense of "I can actually do this!" That is a complete win in my book all day long!!

Welcome to the Rocket Spanish community! We are delighted to hear that the first lesson left you feeling motivated. Motivation is a crucial aspect of language learning, so keep up the great work!
So far so good! This course has refreshed my memory, and it is adding new vocabulary with each lesson. I'd suggest Rocket Spanish to everyone!

Thanks for being a part of our language-learning community, Nada! Keep up the great work!
It is a great learning experience.
My slow use of the course is that at 81 years of age I don't find a enough time to properly apply myself with too many necessary outside projects.
I haven't given up!
