I highly recommend this program. It ingeniously utilizes audio, text, and quizzes to maximize your learning. Unlike other programs, it is designed for the human learning curve and teaches you the language that is ACTUALLY spoken rather than in theory correct. I am learning German and Spanish and I was surprised that Rocket Languages doesn't have a cookie-cutter approach like so many other programs do - the courses are drastically DIFFERENT! That's good because languages ARE different, and a cookie-cutter approach simply won't teach you anything. I feel closer to a native speaker now, with knowledge of not only the everyday version of the language, but also of the cultures. I've already recommend this program to two of my best friends, my aunt and my piano teacher, for French (did trials, but I have priorities), German and Spanish. Seriously, for this price ($100) it's a steal. Wait for post-registration sales (7 days usually, for $90 and free vocab cards), or Black Friday/Cyber Monday ($70, no vocab cards). But if you can't wait just by it at $100. You'll be happy.
Affordable compared to RS. Like not having to use discs and being able to use a tablet. Like the grammar explanations, but haven't yet found all of the verb tenses in Spanish premium. Admittedly though, I've been quite lazy and haven't used the program as much as I should. It's not a program that makes you can't wait to get back to it. You need to be self motivated. I suppose that's true of the others, too.
I tried many different methods, but Rocket Language offers the most engaging and fun way to learn a new language. In particular I like lots of interactive exercises, which force me to really master the new material before moving on to the next lesson. The cultural notes and various bonus materials are very helpful too. Very soon, I hope to try my result while traveling to the Caribbean :-). Thank you for job well done!
This is a great course. I would recommend it to anyone desiring to learn Spanish. I really like the interactive conversation, which I can participate in. Also, hearing my own voice is Spanish helps me to improve upon my Spanish clarity. The test at the end of the lessons enforce your knowledge.
After the first couple lessons from the first course I immediately bought the other two courses. My methodology consists of using the material between the various levels at anytime. I am over 50 years therefore my plan is fluency IN THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME and not just extending my vocabulary or learning a few sentences. Rocket Spanish met ALL my expectations:
1. colloquial topics that does not sound too bookish
2. conversation at a moderate pace (not too slow not too fast)
3. the interactive features are fantastic
4. having the full transcript to help with the conversation is a God-send
5. the grammar lessons are presented in simple clear concise but very thorough manner (my textbook cover the same amount of material in two or three chapters which makes the language appear more difficult to learn)
6. a one time price (contra periodic subscription) is pure value for money
7. I particularly like the look and easy navigation of the site ( I am usually a fussy person that can quickly spot mediocre workmanship...but Rocket Spanish immediately lets one feel the sense of pride and diligence that went into building the site).
WITH EACH USE OF ROCKET SPANISH I FEEL ONE STEP CLOSER TO FLUENCY.
Suggestion for possible long term addition :
1. usage of various accents (and maybe at various speeds)
Adios (Thanks for a great site)!!
I have tried many language programs out there and this is by far the best! It is easy to navigate and it teaches you useful parts of conversation. I also really like that it teaches you about the culture and gives you cultural do's and don'ts. I absolutely plan on using it to learn other languages and I want my children to start using it too.
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.
gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
I enjoyed learning more about the product and I want to use it to learn Spanish. I am looking forward to making my own list of practice words that deal with my profession, librarianship. Please add more games and possible foreign language newspapers so that I will know current events in the areas of my chosen Spanish.
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.
