Language Learning Software Reviews

Listen, I pride myself on giving honest reviews and I want to uphold my reputation with this Rocket Spanish Review. I’m telling you – don’t buy Rocket Spanish until you get to the end of this article…

What is Rocket Spanish?

Rocket Spanish is a Spanish course built by Rocket Languages, one of the worldwide leaders in language courses (and a favorite here on Language Reviews).

Rocket Spanish claims that you’ll be speaking and writing Spanish naturally in 8 weeks or less.

Lately, there has been a lot of buzz around Rocket Spanish so I decided that I should review if for our site here. I already know Spanish and can speak it fluently, so I was interested in what Rocket Spanish would deliver.

Rocket Spanish – What To Expect

Rocket Spanish has two different levels or curriculum to consider.  There is the Premium Rocket Spanish Course and the Plus Rocket Spanish Course.  Both are available right on the Rocket Languages website.

The course content itself is standard Spanish, so you will be able to travel and speak Spanish in Spain and Latin America.

The Rocket Spanish premium course has:

• 32 interactive audio sections
• MegaSpanish software program
• Members only forum
• Bonus

The Rocket Spanish Plus Course has an additional:

• 28 audio tracks with transcripts
• 28 illustrated grammar and cultural lessons

Rocket Spanish Review – The Audio Lessons

One of the reasons it’s so easy to learn spanish from the Rocket Spanish course is because each of the audio tracks are uniquely themed – much like the language courses you took in high school!  Remember each chapter had a different theme?  So does Rocket Spanish.

By learning the contexts of these ‘themes’ you are learning the building blocks of language and you don’t have to simply ‘memorize’ nouns and verbs and things like that.

The speakers, Amy and Mauricio are very good and very easy to listen to.  They both have personality which differs from some of the other courses we’ve reviewed.

Rocket Spanish Review – MegaSpanish Software

Now, to the sofware.  Language software really is the make it or break it section of a language course.  If the software is bad, the course is too.

Rocket Spanish features a downloadable application called MegaSpanish.  MegaSpanish includes 3 games which serve as the cornerstones of the program:

• MegaVocab
• MegaAudio
• MegaVerbs

Each of these individual parts of the software package really aid in learning Spanish.  The software was very intuitive and easy to use.  I personally give it a thumbs up!

Rocket Spanish Review – Grammar And Cultural Lessons

This is really the shining point of the course.  Rocket Spanish gives grammar and cultural lessons as a downloadable document.  So many times, language courses fall short with the culture of a place.  Without the culture, there really is only so much you’ll be able to learn!

Truly, the Rocket Spanish grammar and cultural lessons are a great addition to the software and audio elements of the program.

Rocket Spanish Review – The Negatives

One thing you should know before you buy Rocket Spanish is that learning a language is difficult.  It doesn’t ‘just happen!’  You have to put time into learning a language and Spanish is no different.  Remember, you had to take 2 YEARS of a language in high school!

With Rocket Spanish, I am very confident that you will be speaking Spanish in 8 weeks – like Rocket Languages claims.  You have to work at it though!

Rocket Spanish Review – The Verdict

I really liked Rocket Spanish.  It was easy to go through and kept the lessons short and sweet.  I have no doubt that you would be able to learn Spanish very quickly with this system.

Keep in mind though, Rocket Spanish is still pretty cheap.  If I were the product owner, I’d be raising the price soon because it’s SO MUCH CHEAPER than it’s competitors..  So jump on it quick!
