My Rocket Spanish Review is to help people decide if Rocket Spanish is the best way for them to learn Spanish.
I’ll tell you EXACTLY what I liked and did not like about Rocket Spanish.
Just as a bit of brief background about me. I decided to learn Spanish because I love Barcelona and I wanted to stop feeling like an idiot when I visited. After a brief attempt to learn Spanish with a Tutor I realised that I was learning incredibly slowly and at the same time I was going broke… the lessons were seriously expensive.
So I decided to try an online Spanish software program. Initially it was a bit of a disaster as I jumped in to the first program I found and basically it was poor. After three weeks I gave up and lost my cash, complete bummer.
Because I’m stubborn (my wife may say stupid!) I decided to try again. This time I actually did some research to find the best learn Spanish programs out there. I got it down to two, both had excellent feedback.
How Did I Choose An Online Spanish Programme?
Easy the cheapest one which also happened to have a 60 day unconditional refund guarantee. Before buying this course I was already over $400 down so I was not going to get burned again.
That course was Rocket Spanish. And the result? I can now speak conversational Spanish and even my Spanish Grammar is coming along, quite a feat considering my English Grammar is appalling!
Without boring you with all the details here is what I liked about Rocket Spanish:
- It focused on vocabulary and language you will actually use (80% of all conversations in any language only use 1,500 common words).
- There is a hell of a lot of lessons but they are easy to follow and most are only 25 minutes… about the maximum length of my attention span!
- It takes you from beginner to intermediate in a logical easy to use way
- It has audio lessons and some great interactive games to help you learn and have a bit of fun
- As well as language lessons you get culture lessons as well which I found really cool
- They don’t forget reading and writing in Spanish as well although they were of less interest to me at the beginning
- You get a 60 day unconditional refund if you don’t like the product – This is fantastic, I guess this shows how confident Rocket Spanish is that you will love the product
- It’s affordable and a one of cost unlike my never ending home tutor lessons
- Perhaps the most important thing is that you make quick progress which motivates you. I’ll admit I’m not great with languages but even I was speaking Spanish quite well after the third week.
Negatives about Rocket Spanish:
- Some of the pictures in the games are a little misleading – I got some questions wrong just because of the pictures… I guess I’m too competitive!
- I personally had no use for their massive forum, but I guess some people like hanging out and learning from other students.
- The program suggests it will take you 8 weeks to become an intermediate Spanish speaker, this was a little ambitious for me it took me 10 weeks. I must confess this may be to do with my lack of language skill rather than a failure on the part of Rocket Spanish.
I guess that is it for my Rocket Spanish Review, if you’re thinking of learning Spanish I would give it a go with the 60 day unconditional refund policy you really have nothing to lose!
PS If you’re a guy there is one extra unexpected benefit, my wife loves the sound of me speaking Spanish!
