Find out what actual users have to say about our courses through their Rocket Spanish reviews.
It is challenging, but fun. The material is easy to learn and retain, and it also keep my interest. I love thew corrections by the native speakers and I also enjoy being able to offer my corrections to those learning English. I took advantage of a great sale to buy all three units and I'm glad I did!
The rocket languages packages are extremely useful in grasping the basic of any unfamiliar language. They can also help in pushing you to become a much more confident speaker. I like the ability to record your responses so you can listen back and correct pronunciation ensuring when it comes to speaking the language you pronounce words correctly.
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
Wow! Rocket Languages has helped me so much and I cannot thank the creator enough! Learning how to speak and understand Spanish has been a goal of mine as a child, but now I am nearly fluent in the language.
Even though I have just started the Rocket Spanish course I can already say that it goes beyond many other Spanish training classes/software I have taken before. I have tried the other major products (Rosetta Stone, Pimsleur, CD's and books (yes, I have been trying on and off for 20 years), DuoLingo) and Rocket Spanish takes the best from each. I like how it explains the reasoning of why the grammar is the way it is (DuoLingo doesn't do that) and gives you practice in listening, reading, and speaking. That last one is the one I need to do more of... speaking. Once I get deeper into the courses I will write another review, but so far it is much more than I expected.
When I was using Rosetta Stone, whenever I opened it (and I could always find access) it opened to wherever I had left off. That would all be very helpful for Rocket language to offer and it doesn't, or I don't know how to find it. Perhaps I could get some help.
Response from Rocket Languages
Response from Rocket Languages: Rocket does do that. You just have to earn some points on a lesson for it to be remembered!
Reviewed many language programs prior to purchasing rocket language program. By far rocket is the most comprehensive program. Truly enjoying the rocket experience. Gracias Sam Allen
I studied Spanish in high school and again in college many years ago. In my 30+ years of working in New York City I was surrounded by Spanish - either being spoken by people on the street or written in signs on the subway so that I was able to maintain a minimum level of proficiency with the language. I wanted to become more proficient for several reasons. I do volunteer work that occasionally means I am dealing with Spanish-speaking people. i have also traveled to Mexico several times and would have loved to have been able to converse with locals there in their native language. I have just begun using Rocket Spanish but I am impressed with the courses and especially with the ability to access the training anytime and anywhere via computer or cellphone. I look forward to advancing in Spanish and perhaps Portugese as well someday.
I decided to purchase Rocket Spanish Premium when I saw the recommendation from PC Magazine. What a terrific language course: well structured, varied and motivating. I would recommend the Rocket series to anyone.
So this is my third attempt (from different angles) at Spanish. I tried first a podcast (not enough repetition, nothing to read, no motivation to practice, no native speakers), I have been at an in person course (highly motivating, but all at the same pace), and now this.
I like a lot the native speakers, the speed of speech, and the repetition in various learning modes. The voice recognition works better than babble (which I briefly tried as well) but still stumbles sometimes. Good thing - rocket does not make this an issue, I can just progress over it.
I much appreciated the possibility first to try whether this format motivates me - before paying. As a German learner, I am ok with the strong US focus (likely the largest market): I'd love if you considered that there are learners with a different language background and learning experience as well. Like comparing Spanish with French or German.
