Decent program, the voice recording and speak detection leaves a lot to be desired but atleast it gets you to speak. My main issue is with the module tests at the end of the lessons, they crash and reset the entire test once you get to the end of a section. It is not worth doing.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Brian - We sent you an email asking for more clarification on the Module Tests issue. We haven't had any other reports of issues with this so would be keen to get to the bottom of it.
I purchased Rocket Spanish about 2 weeks ago and although I lived in Latin America for a few years that was a while ago and the language has slipped away from me. I am starting right at the beginning and I am re-discovering a lot of the common ways to say things in Spanish, rather than the convoluted way I have fallen into. You can go at your own pace, the lessons are interesting, repeatable and keep me focused.
While I am still on Level 1 of Rocket Spanish, I am not only enjoying it but more importantly, I am actually learning to speak Spanish. I've been going over and over each sub-level until I am totally comfortable with everything - works for me. I am 67 and planning on moving to a Spanish speaking country in 2021, so naturally, I want to be a bit prepared.
Also, I am finding all of the optional exercises enormously helpful; I need to see the words and write them in order to lock them into my mind along with the meaning and pronunciation. I understand not everyone learns this way but I chose Rocket Spanish for this reason - along with the fact that they generously allowed me to try out the program first to see if I liked it. I love it!
I also plan on getting a few Spanish short story audiobooks and listening to Spanish-speaking podcasts once I have progressed more.
Highly recommend!
Although I'm just beginning, so far I like the format and the ability to repeat all or part of a lesson.
Great language course with a lot of features and mixed platform (PC / mobile) is great help for on the go.
I would however like to see the ability to unsubscribe from the trials, once you start a trial on any language it does not give me the option to unsubscribe from it in the app or on the site. This annoys me.
I have been thoroughly impressed with Rocket Language. The best part is that it teaches you how to have real conversations instead of just learning lists of words and conjugations. I have already advanced to the higher level and my proficiency has improved dramatically. I have gone back and listened to lessons that I struggled with in the past, and now, they seem so easy. Rocket Language has been the best source for learning Spanish, more than anything else I have ever tried.
Rocket Languages is a great way to learn a language. So far I have had fun with my Spanish lessons. I especially appreciate that there is some cultural information within each lesson rather than just the words. This is something a lot of language programs fail to include.
I would like to see more reading examples (e.g. short stories, newspaper articles, etc.) to practice my reading comprehension.
That being said, I can recommend Rocket Languages if you are looking for fun, instructor-led language program that provides cultural background information.
I have been using Duolingo because it's free, but it's not meeting my needs. I like that Rocket Spanish helps with my pronunciation, which Duolingo did not. I had a coupon so I'm willing to give Rocket Spanish a try for 60 days! Plus, I already had the headphones with a mic so why not??
Not too far into the program yet, but I am already loving it. The program goes at a stress-free pace and provides many different learning tools for all styles of learners. I complete a lesson daily and have thoroughly enjoyed each one thus far.
This is my second Spanish course on-line. It is very user friendly and albeit only one week in I am finding myself learning much more than the previous course (unnamed) I took. Rocket Spanish is easy to navigate and is composed of multiple learning methods. Well done!
