I love this program, you get so much material for a great price. I use Rocket Spanish in combination with Pimsleur Spanish. And im having great success. If you give this program a month you will surely be able to speak and understand basic conversations. In my opinion no one Spanish program will completely make you fluent, but this is a good start.
Just started (lesson 2). I Had Spanish in HS a long time ago. I want to become more proficient. We visit Mexico often, and we will visit Spain next year. I'd like to converse with native speakers and be able to understand them, but I think they may speak too fast.
It is too frustrating. It doesn’t always understand what I am saying, even if I am saying it correctly. I don’t think I should have to know every ñ, é, á etc. when I am writing. It takes way too long. Need to shorten the lessons. I haven’t been doing them b/c I get too frustrated when it doesn’t understand me.

Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Polly - Please make sure that you are using a headset microphone for best results with voice recognition. We have just added in special character keys to Rocket Spanish "Write it" activities to make the writing process much easier.
I like the interactive part it really helps with memory. So far the voice recognition has been really annoying, maybe because im a perfectionist and when it wont record correctly I cant move on. Also I have not had any grammar lesson on conjugations. If i hadnt had a background in Spanish I think I would be a little lost by now.

Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Seccra - Please contact customer support around the voice recognition issue. I am sure that we can resolve that. Also, Level 1 (and the other higher levels) do have quite a few Language & Culture lessons on verb conjugations. Did you see those?
The course is great. The content is better than most. The narrator Amy is slightly annoying, but the content makes up for this.
Awesome self learning language course. Very user friendly. The audio is great and helps you along so much. Also it makes it fun instead of a something to dread doing. I have had the course for awhile now but just recently started the lessons. Working in the medical field this will become a real life line in a lot of cases. Soon I will be able to understand and speak to my patients without being scared of look like a fool. Thanks you everything. The site seems to get better and better each time I visit.
This fits my comfort zone so far as I am not a natural language learner. I can go over the lessons many times at my own pace. Customer service was very good.
The training is very good with practical everyday phrases to learn and repeat whenever I have the time.
The voice recognition in the "hear it, say it" becomes either deaf or impaired of hearing even though the answers are correct, as the software refuses to recognise my pronunciation.
I have two other Rocket Language programs and am now trying Spanish. Like the others, it's very user-friendly with easy-to-navigate, comprehensive modules. I love that you can go at your own pace without hassle, (which comes in very handy with my slow approach to Mandarin!) The lessons are logically arranged and build on previous lessons. Testing, quizzes, reviews, pronunciation tools, (like record and compare,) make Rocket Languages the best system I've ever seen or used. Most programs simply drill you in vocabulary, but RL teaches you a language AND its culture! They are truly the best!
good lesson and well planned out for learning basic Spanish
