Rocket Spanish Reviews

You actually learn Spanish here. Not like in duolingo which is just there for some fun and monkey based games. With Rocket Languages you get to practice, rehearse and ...rehearse again ;-)

It would help, when attempting to pronounce these words, that the phonetic pronunciation was included. I believe that would help me a lot.

You asked way too soon, I can't say just yet. Give me some more time

This course is helping my brother and I to learn Spanish. Even though we were raised on the US/Mexico border, we didn't have enough instruction to become fluent. So, here we are again, many years later, trying again. I appreciate that this program is very thorough, has excellent help on each section along the way. Thank you, Rocket Spanish!

I really enjoy the lessons and the multiple ways the information is reinforced - listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

However, there are two major issues for me.

First, each lesson begins with a video tutorial. I have an audio processing disability - it's hard for me to comprehend spoken words in a conversation or tutorial. My learning style is reading/writing, so I really need to be able read the transcript of the tutorials. The lessons aren't an issue because the spoken parts are short - no more than a sentence at a time . And I can replay it as often as I need to.

Second, the top right has a leaderboard, daily points, and a streak. Even though I can progress at my own pace, the presence of these statistics sets a competitive undertone that makes it stressful. I realize a lot of people like that, but there should be an option to disable it for those who don't.

I did not deal with customer services so cannot comment.
I find the lessons long, but I can spend as long as I need to be sure I get it.
In addition, I like the fact that you can reset assignments and try them over and over.

I kind of like the method. Basically you repeat the same stuff over and over again until it gets stuck in your brain. The only issue I have had so far is with the voice recording system. A couple of times it did not work properly. Other than that thumbs up so far

the way you should greet
and how we should respond

I mean it's alright liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkeeeeeeeee

I just completed 60 days in a row learning Spanish with Rocket Language and I’m loving it. I’ve used many methods to learn Spanish over the years, from on-line courses, to face-to-face classes, to even a week of immersion in Mexico City. I’ve always learned something from each method, but this time using Rocket Languages, it feels different. Personally, to really learn Spanish, I need new daily vocabulary, clear grammar explanations, an organized approach that makes me focus, lots of repetition, Spanish that is spoken in Latin America, a clear dashboard of my progress, and the ability to see exactly what I need to do the next time I log-in. Rocket Languages has all of that and more. To really learn you have to hit on all disciplines, writing, listening, speaking, and reading, and you will do that with every lesson. Some reviews will say the Rocket process is boring. I say it’s a lot of repetition and that’s exactly what I need. I can tell you my confidence in communicating in Spanish with others has increased immensely in the last 60 days.
