Trying to make the decision between Rocket Spanish, Linguaphone and Rosetta Stone
Posted by Stephen on September 19, 2006
Well nearly two years later my Spanish hasn’t improved, well maybe slightly! So today it is about time I got to grips and started to study. Although I can speak Spanish I really need to take the next step and most courses only cater for the beginner and I need to become fluent.
Trying to find the best online course is so difficult, and when you then take into account the price, you just do not want to make a mistake. What has made it particularly difficult is I cannot find honest reviews of the products.
I have decided to go with Rocket Spanish as I couldn’t find anything negative on the net, which is a good sign as if anyone was upset, someone generally writes about it somewhere. The only worry I have is all the positive comments, are because they are selling the product.
The main competition or my other choices are Linguaphone, which to be honest didn’t work for me after using it for 20 years and Rosetta Stone, which I nearly went with today but apart from all the positive notes or advertising spiel, I read many negatives so I have decided not to run with them either.
So in case anyone else is trying to make the decision between Rocket Spanish, Linguaphone and Rosetta Stone I hope to be able to give some honest feed back but it will be 3 months later I assume.
Before I sign off, I did receive my free lesson today from Rocket Spanish and my first impression is good, but at the end of the day it will be up to me.

I too am looking for a Spanish Language Audio Program. I have narrowed my search to “Learning Spanish Like Crazy” and “Rocket Spanish”
What has been your experience with Rocket Spanish?

Rocket Spanish seemed fine if you are a beginner but I found it too basic for me. If you are more advanced I suggest you take a look at http://www.notesinspanish.com/ to be honest I need to listen more to their podcast.
So on that note I better catch up
