Rocket Spanish Reviews

Fun and easy. The record feature is a plus. Nice app

I've worked through a Rocket course in another language and this Spanish course is no exception. It's the best language learning method I've used, and I've used most over the years. It really works.

I am really enjoying this app. I need lots of help on pronunciation and this a great option to hear myself . With my book studies and U tube to learn Spanish from a beginner level this is another great tool in my toolbox for learning . I want to learn Spanish for travel and I'm excited to be able to communicate with people from other countries.

So far, I'm not happy with the way the Spanish course is taught. Lesson 1.7 was hard and seemed out of place. It seems we should have learned numbers, months, and other things first. The voice recognition doesn't seem to work. It will record my voice sometimes but has yet to tell me if I am speaking correctly or not. It only plays back my own voice, but nothing more. Sometimes the voices used by your staff are hard to understand or are speaking too fast for beginners. I'm going to keep trying, but so far, not much is sticking.

I haven't used customer service, and I'm unlikely to buy again because I used the deal to buy the whole package! But I love this program so far. I'm 2 lessons in and it is so comprehensive. It covers all the important aspects of language learning.

I found Level 2 Rocket Spanish challenging and time consuming at first. But, with persistence and practicing 4 to 5 days a week, I have become fairly comfortable with the Preterit and Imperfect Indicative verb tenses. I enjoy the conversations about everyday subjects between Mauricio, his mother Carmen, and Amy. The stories are interesting and are delivered with humor. It is also fun to learn some local sayings.

I'm amazed how fast I can learn Spanish with Rocket Spanish. The activities are very helpful in cementing my understanding with the language.

The voice of the person speaking in the videos is mad annoying. But besides that the course is not that bad. It's good if you want to learn to write and know how words sound like but the voice recognition don't work at all. Which is the main reason I am giving such a low score, because for how expensive the course is you should be able to learn to speck.

I've tried a lot of different audio lessons and Rocket is my new favorite.

Big fan of Rocket Spanish! After gaining a 200+ day streak on Duolingo I still didn't feel comfortable speaking (probably because Duolingo focuses a lot less on speaking!) and felt the course progression was slow and incompatible with real life Spanish usage. I then tried an online personal tutor but felt it was very hard to keep up with speaking because my foundations were so weak. So I took a step back and found Rocket Spanish after searching on Google for more structured, speaking-focus lessons that mirrored real life. I'm only a few modules in but I'm SO happy with my purchase! I can learn at my own pace and I love the cultural context gained through the audio lessons. I can really hone my pronunciation as well following Mauricio's native narration.

Some suggestions: it would be great to get more ad hoc revision lessons that are tailored to my specific progress. I find I have to return to the quizzes/flashcards of individual lessons to review, which is fine but I have to go through lengthy exercises to review a few key concepts/vocab.
