The feature that allows one to record and then listening to yourself as compared to the instructor has been a great help to me in learning the pronunciation. I enjoy using the Beginner's Spanish PDF book along with each lesson to look up word meanings and deeper usage help as I go through a lesson for the first time. I have found that the self-test ordering is the best sequence for my learning. I found that it is much easier to hear the phrase in Spanish and then say what it means than it is to read the English and then say it in Spanish (the "Know it" test). It forces me to learn to think in the language and gives me a strong memorization exercise to get the vocabulary down much more solidly. This is my second purchase from Rocket languages, having previously taken Rocket Italian. We were taking a vacation to Southern Italy at the time and would be driving in areas where English was not commonly spoken. I did not have much time to get up to speed before leaving but managed to get though about half of the beginner's course. It was enough to get us out of several jams we got into when getting lost and asking for directions, as well as recovering from taking a bus to the wrong place and trying to recover from that.
Learning Spanish is something that I have always wanted to do. But now that I am older and have went thru brain surgery, chemo and I am on dialysis now, I felt like I would not be able to utilize this program. But by God's grace I am and feel that I am remembering the phrases, I can speak it very fluently, thanks to Mauricio and Amy, and having so much fun trying. Thanks Rocket Spanish for an awesome product. Customer Support is out of this world.
Useful every German language practice with Rocket German and I am starting to think in simple German Phrases. This is truly an Awesome Program that allows to build your language skills. It is also interesting to hear what are students/members have to say!
I have just finished my Free Trial. During this period, I also tried several other competitor free trials, and used all of the comparing the similarities and differences. *Rosetta Stone was easily dismissed as I did not think they did well with phrase translations, but only focused on the single word. * There were a couple others, that were just too expensive, so that was an easy "No". * Spanishpod101 was very similar to RocketSpanish, but did not have the progress dashboard, and quite frankly, they had more unnecessary humor and comments in some of their dialogs that were not relative to the language learning. * Rocket Spanish was more geared to the learner. They keep encouraging routine practice, and the dashboard monitors your progress. Breaking down words into exact pronunciation has really helped me, and I only had the free trial !!! In summary, Rocket Spanish, in my opinion was the best language course for me at the best price. I would definitely recommend to a friend. Special Thanks to Margaret G. at Rocket Spanish Customer Support for answering all my questions and really REALLY helping me out :-)
I have started learning Spanish in Rocket Spanish for a week. The exercises are really interactive and interesting. The topics are quite practical. What I like most is the role play part. You can practise with native Spanish speakers at home. If there is more focus on grammar part, it would be even better.
Rocket languages is very helpful for me learning about Spanish because it is simple in the beginning and challenges you the far that you go. This really helps me because something too easy in the beginning or too hard then I will not be interested anymore.
I am 62 and everyone told me I was too old to learn a new language. When I started level 1 I was sure they were right. I thought this is never going to stick. But when you hear it, say it, write it and translate it I would go to bed and the words and phrases would start coming to me.
I just returned from Panama where it seems only the young kids can speak any English. Having completed level 1 I was amazed, and my wife was quit impressed, how well I could communicate with non English speakers.
I am going to start level 2 soon. It is not easy for me but it works!
Just start learning new language. It is not easy to learn new language, I know it will take so much time and efforts to continue but so far I am very satisfied with my Rocket Languages experience. It seems it is smart system to learn new language.
The training lessons keep you motivated to stay with it. I should have started this years ago. I look forward to learning still another language down the road with you folks.Job well done.
