This platform is well thought out and very easy to learn from. I have already used what I have learned on the job (Construction).
Is Good and let me learn more and more I love it.
Loving it! Love the interaction as a stimulus for learning and speaking!
thanks for helping me with this jaja by the way i get to talk to my friend Zoe now since she is Mexican and i'm half dominican also black well Tysm and bye i appreciate what you guys have done lol thanks again have a good day bye!
The program is OK but no grammar nor conjugation. It is a lot to pay for things I could get for free on Youtube

Response from Rocket Languages: Thank you for your review. Please note that each Module includes our Language and Culture lessons that teach the Spanish grammar rules. There are approximately 30 Language and Culture lessons per Level.
I hope that helps! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Support team.
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.

Response from Rocket Languages: 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!
Let me again reiterate something that I drew your attention in the past:
You lost in some categories (despite high quality of the program on the technical and didactic fronts) at least on star in the survey because of the manner this survey is delivered in the middle of a lesson in a most frustrating and hampering manner which I feel aggressive, if not outright harassing! If you need feedback, do offer your surveys AFTER the end of a lesson (at the moment of a switch from one lesson to another) to avoid an absolutely PREDICTABLE distraction in the middle of the learning process and high concentration - I don't think this is something that a reasonable person cannot predict.

Response from Rocket Languages: Thanks so much for your feedback. Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by the survey prompt. We have forwarded your comments to the IT team who will strongly consider the process as part of their upcoming UX review. All the best with your continued language learning.
Just at the end of my first week and looking forward to continuing. Seems easy to follow but I can see that constant review of previous lessons is likely to be my path to success. Also, I can see where vocabulary recall may become a primary source of frustration for me. I'm pushing forward and hoping for a level of fluency to use in traveling within a year. Note: I have had no reason to contact customer service at this point.
The repitition of the concepts in each lesson really cements learning in one's mind. The program is challenging for me. But I feel that the work is worth it as I believe I am learning the language
I love the course. However, during this pandemic I can't afford it.
