Rocket Spanish Reviews

It would be nice to interact with someone every now and again. Some lessons audio are a bit too long (25 min) and I think would be better to break them up or have videos instead of audio only. Overall, I am pleased of the format and would like more variety. Longer quizzes might also be improved with variety of testing methods.

I have found no better method for learning Spanish than using Rocket Languages audio lessons while driving to and from work every day.

Prior to learning Spanish with Rocket Languages I tried and failed to learn Spanish for almost 20 years. Albeit, I wasn't attempting to learn Spanish for the entirety of that 20 years, but given the fact that I grew up enrolled in Spanish lessons or classes from the time I was 4 to the time I started high school at 14 years old, you would think I would have remembered something. Not the case. I basically forgot everything I learned once I was no longer being forced to learn by school and my parents.

Then, in my adult life I recognized I would need to know Spanish fluently to achieve what I most wish to accomplish in this life. That left me, at twenty five years old, wishing I had actually applied myself all of those years in elementary Spanish while I was growing up, and feeling like I was "too old" to learn a new language.

My time with Rocket Spanish has utterly obliterated any notion of being "too old" to learn a foreign language. Now I learn Spanish using their interactive audio lesson every day while I drive to and from work.

I like the fact that the program is well-rounded, focusing not only on reading, but also listening, writing and speaking. Also, the ability to redo lessons (or parts of lessons) helps reinforce areas you may feel a little weak on. The lessons build upon the previously learned items, so there is a gradual and logical process. Although the pricing may seem a bit steep (I certainly don't feel that way), when taking into consideration all that is offered, and the high quality of the lessons, I believe it to be an excellent value; as an added bonus, the ability to pay in instalments is a great option. And finally, cultural practices are touched upon to educate learners of situations which may seem different from what someone from an English-speaking culture would be accustomed to. All in all, I highly recommend Rocket Language Spanish as an excellent vehicle to learn the language!

I really like Rocket Spanish – what a great learning tool! I really like the mix of Audio Lessons (conversations) and Language & Culture Lessons (grammar). The Audio Lessons get you speaking and hearing Spanish in a conversation. After listening to the audio lesson you have separate sections that have you focus on Listening, Writing and Speaking – so you really get to engage in the lesson conversation. By the end of the sections I feel I am hearing the lesson directly in Spanish, rather than my brain doing any translating. I also very much like the voices of Mauricio and Amy. Voices are very important as anyone who has listened to an Audio Book knows. The Languages Lessons focus on grammar and they are excellent. Beautifully written, easy to follow and they really cover the material thoroughly. Each Language Lessons also has separate Listening Writing and Speaking sections so the grammar can really sink in. On a separate note, one feature I really like is the Voice Replay feature where your voice is automatically recorded and you can replay it to check on your pronunciation as well as verify you said what you thought you did.

Hello. This is the first review I'm writing, only because Rocket Spanish seems like an extremely effective app for learning languages. Specifically, I am talking about Spanish, although these points probably apply to the other languages, especially its structure. It's structure is very appealing and attractive, and the way you learn through sets of audio, flash cards, quizzes, which test your overall knowledge, is very simple and concise. I highly recommend giving the free version a try, to see if it's for you, although it might not work for everyone, it's layout is intuitive and easy to navigate, and the learning system is very efficient. There is only one minor issue, and that is the audio system. Talking generally works and it can read your voice very well. But sometimes, for more complex words that require more pronunciations, it can read your voice wrongly. Overall, I think Rocket Spanish specifically is an amazing tool for learning Spanish! Keep up the work, Rock Language!

love this lesson(s) and I am working on those pesky RRRRR's

Good if you're serious about learning. Provides very well explained lessons. Won't just throw words at you, but will explain in great detail when and how those words and phrases should be used. Gives a little insight into Latin American culture. Let's you practice reading, listening, and speaking. Explains grammar in a way that is not boring, but is thorough. Not for visual learners. No pictures. Not for people who aren't already very motivated to learn a language. Has a leaderboard and will track your streak, but not overall very game-like. If you finish all three courses you will be able to understand most conversations even if you don't know some of the words. Just try it!

Really enjoying the course so far. Pricing is a little vague.

I've only recently started with this program, and I am very pleased with it. I really like that you can role play and that there is a voice recognition option. I retired a couple years ago and now I have a lot of free time my hands, so, I decided to put the time to good use.

nicely paced to start conversations with any stranger or friends!!
