Hey John, I am about to take my NCLEX soon so I feel it would be helpful as I move into the nursing field to learn Spanish and better communicate with my future patients. I have already experienced some Spanish speaking patients and it can be a barrier to improving their health.
I like Rocket, but sometimes the lessons are quite long. Babbel's lessons are shorter. I have lifetime for both. I'm going to finish Babbel early October and then will focus on Rocket.
Thanks for the great video! Both Rocket Languages and Babbel sound like great options! I think I’d go Babbel since the shorter lessons will make it easier to fit into my schedule.
I really have to check out Rocket, it sounds like it would fit me. I've started on another course and I'm making some headway, but can tell it is going to be better for starting and will need something different down the road. I really like the conversation aspect you describe other courses having to translate or speak phrases that just don't seem like natural language gets old. Thanks for the review.
I’d love to be able to hold conversation in Italian. I’m torn between these 2apps. Do you think I should start with babbel to get the “fundamentals” down then switch to Rocket? Or is the level 1 Rocket the equivalent to babbel?
Honestly, I use both together. Their differences complement each other nicely. If I was going to pick just one, it would be Rocket, though I do really like Babbel. You'll just make progress more quickly with Rocket.
Great review! I will stick with Rocket. But I consider that most of the languages courses do not approach correctly the writing skills that a person needs when learning a second language, will be interesting what are the best option for persons fluent in one language and trying to improve writing skills.
Interesting thought Alexandra. Maybe we should make a comparison video about which app is best for those looking to improve their writing skills. Thanks!
Superb video. You do a great job, and this is a wonderful free service. About your speaking delivery: With many of your sentences, the last couple of words are near-silent, as if you're running out of air. Instead of words at volume, all we get is a little air and some consonants. While lip-reading, it's not a big deal, but when the camera isn't on you, it makes your delivery hard to follow. Thanks for reading. Now it's time to click on your links and hit that "like" button!
Tip for Babbel. Buy lifetime after new year, they usually do huge sale. I got lifetime Babbel for $200. Rocket is great as well and its superior for learning asian languages like Japanese and Chinese. Just remember learning a language is an investment. It takes time, energy, and sometimes money. But remember to always have fun and take breaks. Btw great video.
I'm currently using Babbel to learn German to go run the Berlin Marathon later this year. I recently learned about Pimsler...and now, thanks for your videos, I'm considering Rocket! I like Babbel, but feel the content order is a little strange!
I want to learn a new language because I signed up for it as a supplementary course at uni. Here Rocket Languages is the clear winner because Babbel doesn't offer that language! (Chinese/Mandarin)
Great details and sharing the differences that stood out for you. They both sound like the right direction for me I'm thinking why not start with babbel for 3 months then taken course through Rocket Languages .... thanks again
I like the visual learning emphasis of Babble. Although I do like the audio-learning features of Rocket. The live classes aren't something I'm too interested in taking. I'm undecided on choosing between these programs myself.
Hey, I'm reviewing language courses to see what one is better for me & am so glad that you've made this obstacle easier. 👍🏻 I need basic beginner (I know 4 words.) I learn languages best when I break down the word into components and equate that component to an english word. For example, moo (= soynds like cow moo) ey (key/money) and then connect the components/syllables and say it faster and faster. Same with bien = bee (insect) + en(d). Taking parts of english words and corresponding it to a language for annunciation comparison also sets up a visual memory association. I once easily helped a Croatian woman practice the english word ""vulnerable" using the same techniqie and I don't know Croatian. The woman liked the word "vulnerable" but had trouble with it for years. In a few minutes we broke down components as I sounded out syllables and she equated it to phonetically similar words in Croatian. If there's no syllable I break it down by letter. Do you know of any English/Spanish course that has an option for this technique? How did you compare Pimsleur? I notice their tutortial lesson #1 breaks things down faster for a beginner. Rocket flooded me and it was overwhelming. I notice the Rocket would interest me if I already knew the basics. Do you have any comparison to Pimsleur? Thanks.
There's no course that is built around a syllable-level phonetic breakdown, but that is interesting. Rosetta Stone could be a decent option though. There voice tech is very good and does seem to focus more on output and pronunciation
Awesome comparison of Babbel and Rocket. Eduardo is a Rocket Man. I like the conversational emphasis with native speakers. The cultural lessons are very interesting also. Thanks TPI for the video.
Would they be compatible if I decided to do both? Rocket as a once a week lesson and Babble for a short and sweet daily? I like the idea of giving my brain daily practice, but I don't have the spoons to do an hour everyday.
Actually, yes, that wouldn't be a bad combo at all. That's the beauty of Babbel - short and sweet lessons during the week. Then if you have time you could do longer Rocket lessons on weekends. Only issue is that the curriculums won't directly align. Might be learning about different thematic topics. But if you don't mind that, they could complement each other well.
I am looking to learn Italian. it has been my dream to travel to Italy for years, and now I am truly planning my trip and I can't wait to go. thank you for this information.

For sure, Spanish can absolutely help in your nursing career. Thanks!
Between Rocket and Babbel I would have to go with Rocket. Great review!
Great video! This one was close!
Your comparisons are so helpful! I love that you include video screenshots from each app rather than just talking about them :)
We appreciate your support Mary!
Great review. Very detailed. Both sound great but I’d probably go with Rocket.
Thank for this amazing information!
Very informative, thank you
both sound like great options, tho pretty different. for me, i would go with rocket languages based on how i learn

Rocket is definitely worth a shot. It's a little pricier than other courses but we love their approach. Thanks for watching!
I definitely agree that Rocket is the best bet. I plan on starting this after I get the mcat out the way
Thanks for watching!
Great review!

Thanks for the video. I want to know if the moderator can be set in spanish or is just in english?

Hi John, are you paid by any of these language services? Thx.

Totally agree. Great tips in this comment. Thanks for watching!
Rocket wins this round
Thank you for the thorough review! I think I'd choose Rocket.
I'm currently using Babbel to learn German to go run the Berlin Marathon later this year. I recently learned about Pimsler...and now, thanks for your videos, I'm considering Rocket! I like Babbel, but feel the content order is a little strange!
Wow that's so cool! Good luck in the race
I want to learn a new language because I signed up for it as a supplementary course at uni.
Here Rocket Languages is the clear winner because Babbel doesn't offer that language! (Chinese/Mandarin)
haha easy win then i guess
Out of the two options I would choose Rocket Language. Although I would prefer Pimsleur
Thanks for watching!
Great details and sharing the differences that stood out for you. They both sound like the right direction for me I'm thinking why not start with babbel for 3 months then taken course through Rocket Languages .... thanks again
That would be a really good plan for getting some fundamentals before switching. Good luck!
Great review!
