Rocket Spanish Reviews

I looked at several different programmes and Rocket seemed to be a good fit for me and possibly the most complete. I like that we are learning conversations not just words right from the start and the exercises help imprint the learning. The survival book is very helpful but it would have been much better with the audio.. It would be good to encompass some of the things in the book in the lessons. I found the feminine and masculine and plurals etc especially with the symbols over some letters quite confusing until I read the survival guide.

han utilizado otros productos de software de aprendizaje de idiomas "populares" en el pasado y palidecen en comparación con la calidad y la profundidad de Rocket Languages. Me gustan especialmente los componentes de inmersión cultural. Este producto es genial !!!

I like the format, in that I think it is conducive for learning.

I've tried a lot of different language programs to see which one keeps my attention, is easy, and effective. Rocket Spanish is my favorite and only one I use now!

I would highly recommend these lessons. It is nice to be able to work at your own pace. The lessons are very easy to learn.

I am about ready to give up on you. I was going to do another lesson tonight, but when i saw my percentage completion on Modual 1 and 2 was at 93% instead of the 100% that was there this morning. How do you expect anyone to complete anything if you keep adding new, and in my case, unnecessary, lessons to the areas already completed?

I got to the Spanish Interactive Audio Lesson 1.6 and I give up. The Rocket Record is terrible. I have a headset with a microphone (I'm not using my computer's built-in mic) and I have problems with the transcriptions about 40% of the time - and, believe it or not, it's not me. I live in Spain and I'm often told that my pronunciation is very good. Incredibly frustrating. Also, in the exercises, they'll ask you what is the Spanish for, say, "doctor" but they don't tell you if they want masculine or feminine. There are a number of spelling mistakes as well: such as when there's no accent mark where there should be an accent mark. And I love you Amy but, boy, are you annoying. The audio lessons are much too long and could easily be shortened if Amy would just get to the point. Finally, a note to Maurice: no means NO. If you ask someone if you can take her photo and she says no, drop it and move on. If you ask a woman for her phone number and she politely demurs, as Amy did, back off. You're creeping me out, man!

Quite enjoyable. I/m using this a a refresher for conversation with my employees and I appreciate the use of idioms
and understanding of meaning in the conversation lessons.
Well Done. I plan to continue with future lessons.
Thank you

I truly enjoy this type of learning. I would say that it is exactly what needed, a module based learning platform to compliment face to face learning. I think this has really reinforced a lot of the language skills I developed. I just know that with more time and consistency Rocket Spanish will help me get to where I want to be! Thank you. I'm so glad I found Rocket Languages after going through many other language programs. This one works best for me.

Overall, definitely gets you "speaking" quite a bit. The great majority of this, however, is just rote copying of what was just heard. Regurgitation, not processing and internalizing. The rest is straight translation, which in my opinion is a far inferior way to learn a language. A good number of lessons use words/phrases/tenses that have never been discussed and are simply not explained. There are quite a few glitches with speech recognition, especially regarding numbers and accent marks. The material is HEAVILY focused on travel, which I get makes some sense if you're learning Spanish in order to travel, but I suspect a large number of people are like me, learning Spanish to use in everyday life. May just be a US bias though, where Spanish can be very useful almost everywhere.
