I have tried many other options for learning Spanish but am really enjoying the approach the Rocket languages course provides. The ability to test the speaking element alongside the listening and writing means that you get a great all round approach to learning the language. It also jumps you straight in to learning useful vocabulary rather than grammatical rules (which I admit need to be learnt but as part of a broader process).
I purchased Rocket Spanish years ago. Its easy to use and follow. The lessons are brief so you can listen to a modules anytime. I often come back months later and review.
I highly recommend this to everyone.
Rocket Spanish has been a big surprise - it's one of the best language learning tools I have used hands down, and for the price is astonishing value. It's really unfortunate they have such a bad reputation with all the spammy affiliates and informercial-style marketing ("but wait, there's more!"). I only bought it after some hesitation and reading a few in-depth reviews from people I already trusted.
If you're on the fence about taking the plunge, look past the used-car-salesman marketing. The team that makes the actual courses is really good. They just need a new marketing department that don't use dodgy tricks, they can easily grow on the quality of the product instead.
I love Rocket Spanish! I mainly use it in my car, but I do use it a lot-almost every day. I have some background in Spanish and right now I am working on the first level of Rocket Spanish, which is mostly, but not all review.. When I get to the next level I will probably use the online lessons more in addition to the in the off-line car practice. The lessons in the first level have been very well done, covering useful areas of information. The voices are clear and go at an appropriate rate. The program uses excellent vocabulary development methods, which includes lots of repetition.
It's been about 6 weeks on Rocket Spanish. I'm having a blast learning Espanol. Overall I give it 5 stars.
My observations: introduction of a new word (noun, adjective, adverb, preposition - whatever) without any explanation (te, se, lo) is most disconcerting for me; asking a question when no answer has been provided in the lesson falls in the same category; also adding un-necessary sounds like 'a' before a word can be confusing, Mauricio is guilty of that - BUT these are really minor things and do NOT occur a lot.
I supplement my learning with Google translate and spanishdict.com/conjugation.
I stumbled on an error with the software which was adequately resolved although I was surprised it happened.
Of all the various language courses I've looked at for years, this one, with all options is by far the one that suits my needs! I can't wait to get started! After several "glitches" on my part, support was forthcoming , courteous and entirely helpful! I feel confident that I'm in the right place!
Great program. I've tried various (free and paid for programs) with varying degrees of success. However, this is the best program I've used yet and I love how interactive it is - listening, speaking, writing...I actually look forward to my daily Spanish lessons now! Hopefully, I'll be speaking like a local in no time!!
So far so good. I have been trying to learn Spanish for many years. I was never fully committed. I am super determined now. I am taking a trip to Spain in May. I was using Rosetta Stone which was good. I am enjoying Rocket more. It is more engaging and interesting. I am actually using it at work with my Spanish speaking patients. I have several co workers who are fluent in Spanish and they are impressed with my knowledge base in such a short time period.
I have been struggling with learning Spanish for years. Now that I am retired I thought I would try again. I find the lessons very interesting. The best part is being able to "converse" with the presenters. I also have a Spanish tutor that I converse with once a week, so hopefully this will help to give me more confidence as I move forward. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone interested in learning the language.
Surprisingly great course! I like to learn conversationally and with audio while driving. This seems to be one of the few internet based courses that has the ability to download mp3's so I can listen in the car (or on the plane without internet)! Can learn with network, visuals, flashcards and pdf'able lessons and even downloadable pdf books!
..and the lessons from Amy and Mauricio are very interactive and expert (like use Como, not Que to say 'What?'..). Lastly they employ great teaching technique, like reinforcement from previous lessons.
would buy again !
