It's good so far, but I don't like being forced to write reviews to continue.

So far so good. The course seems very comprehensive and I am enjoying the structure and reinforcement activities. Not sure how useful the ranking system is, and quite frankly I suspect Duolingo is a much better gamification option (if that floats your boat). I am learning Spanish as a way of staving off old age during a lockdown so I am using Rocket as my main learning tool with Duolingo and Coffee Break Spanish as additional and more causal ways to reinforce what I am learning. The only sure way to say how good Rocket is would be to ask me in a year!

I love listening to the lessons in my car on the way to work! Instead of mindlessly listening to music in the car I can use that time to work on one of my goals. I have noticed significant improvement with my Spanish and plan to use rocket languages to start on my Russian soon.

I took Spanish growing up but never applied myself the way that I should have. I started taking Rocket Spanish to teach myself what I have forgotten and eventually become fluent. Everyday I do 1 hour's worth of course work and 30 minutes of review and I have a blast doing so.

I love this course and have recommended it to my friends. I can't wait to continue my progress and maybe take on a third language!

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

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.

Overall, I think that it a very good course for learning a language at your own pace. The instructors are easy to understand, and the lessons are laid out in a logical manner. I have only gotten as far as lesson 7, but I can tell that the material is extensive. The only complaint that I have is that many points of grammar are not explained at all, I realize that many students of language don't like getting bogged down in a lot of grammar, but the lack of any explanation at all can lead the student to make false assumptions. As I said, I have only just begun the course, so I can only give you a couple of examples. These are cases where I was forced to google my question concerning some very basic material. For instance, the student is never given an explanation about the word "lo" and it's usage. Because of how it was introduced in the lesson, I made the erroneous assumption that "lo" and "yo" both meant "I" and were interchangeable. The instructor said that "lo siento" meant "I am sorry", never explaining that "lo" meant "it", with the actual translation being "I regret IT". Early on in the course, we were told that "tu" means "your, as in "tu madre".

Hi Edward. Thank you very much for your feedback! Indeed, the Interactive Audio lessons don't spend a lot of time on grammar - they are designed to focus more on pronunciation and on getting you comfortable speaking out loud in particular situations. However, there are full grammar explanations available in the course, and you can find these in the Language & Culture lessons. These lessons cover everything from basic pronouns to verb forms to adjectives - and they teach you about direct object pronouns like **lo** as well. If you find that your learning approach is more grammar-based than audio-based, it might be a good idea to start with the Language & Culture lessons first and intersperse them with Interactive Audio lessons as you go along. If you'd like to look up a particular grammar topic, the lesson titles in the Language & Culture section should be a good guide, but you can also use the Search function at the top of the page. I hope that this is helpful!
