I like the way the lessons are made. There is a lot to learn. Thanks.
Great course so far. I am enjoying it and learning a lot.
I think RS is trying to do too much. Needs to be shorter. If you follow the lesson plans now, it takes 2-3 hours to fully complete a lesson. That’s too much for the average person. You might consider having stages of lessons - a shorter test section then another layer for those who have more time. Flash cards should note be 68. Maybe 20 of the most important, for example.
Love the narrative lessons, they are perfect.
Chill and I want to keep learning, but i have to write this review
Good course for practising speech. The speech recognition is a little lacking. it does not seem to recognise the first letter of the first syllable despite repeated attempts and emphasis. I am level 2 and only recently started. But my speech is improving a lot regardless of this
I like the variety of lessons. All of the lessons involving spoken Spanish are helping me with my biggest weakness, which is understanding Spanish when it is spoken.
I do have one major complaint, and that is that more effort should be put into giving a more accurate and useful English interpretation. The addition of an exact literal translation would both provide lessons in the word order of Spanish, and also help with learning new Spanish words. All too often I am wondering if this word that I have been introduced to before has a new meaning, or does it just look that way due to the interpretation being based on what a sentence means, and not on what it actually says. (e.g.: "me gusta" means "I like", but it literally says "me it pleases")
Response from Rocket Languages
Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Wayne - You may not have noticed, but there is a "Lit." notation next to phrases that need a literal translation. Mouse-over that, and it will display the literal translation. We don't do this everywhere, as literal translations can be viewed as a crutch if used extensively.
It's good so far, but I don't like being forced to write reviews to continue.
Although I’m still at the beginning lessons. I am satisfied so far.
I feel like I am already learning and understanding some Spanish.
I had tried another language program which did not work for me.
So this program is a pleasant change
This is a great course that makes it easy to follow and great to learn. I like it.
