Rocket Languages Reviews

I always found it difficult learning a new language at school.
But now I have the motivation because my girlfriend is going to work in Hong Kong and I want to share her experience . So I decided to take on Mandarin . At first I thought I was mad but after absorbing the software i'm taking it like a duck to water!
You can work in your own time , which is great for me as I work late and early shifts at work , so it really fits in with my lifestyle.
Plus the platform on which its based is fun and engaging. I really like the games too!
Thank you Rocket for helping to make a dream come true.

Rocket Languages let's me learn at my own pace, with great resources that are ALWAYS available, whenever I have time. Plus, I get to learn about a new culture and have lots of options too! Definitely the most useful of the online tools out there.

Rocket Languages has really been perfecting their approach to language acquisition with the Spanish Travelogue (and I have been through the other three levels). The course is wonderfully varied to keep me interested, and by the time I’ve finished a lesson, the phrases stick – and, most importantly, are useable. When I speak in Spanish to one of my Skype contacts about the lesson, I am speaking with a very competent level of fluency. What could be better than that?

Btw, the storyline describes an incredible trip through Latin America. I can’t wait to visit some of these places…

I'm very impressed with the Rocket Languages method. I have studied different languages in a variety of settings: in a high school classroom, on my own with books, in a college classroom, and on my own with books and a native speaker to guide me. I have looked at other methods, such as Berlitz, Pimsleur, Rosetta Stone, and just the plain old web, but I'm enthusiastically happy about this.

As with all language learning, you have to keep trying and that means regular and frequent study. If you can only put ten minutes per week into the effort, then don't do this. Have a cocktail or watch TV. This method is focused on making you functional in several situations--if you're looking for grammar rules and verb conjugations, then this isn't for you. But if you want to learn and can spend the time building vocabulary, learning to correctly pronounce the words, and growing your understanding of how to speak or understand simple (at first) conversations, then Rocket Languages might be for you.

At first, I thought the conversations were a little simple and I was worried that the vocabulary would be too limited. But I'm impressed with how much I'm learning so far and I actually look forward to my study time each day.

I really enjoy the progressive and structural depth of each lesson--hearing a conversation, translating every word, repeating words and phrases, seeing the words written, having my pronunciation compared, flash cards--I can't imagine a better way of doing it!

I also love the daily scoring competition to stimulate a regular learning--I just want to keep extending my streak! It has been fun so far!

Rocket Languages gives a good and easy opportunity to start learning a new language, its audio lessons are of much fun and success, one can listen to the lessons during his way to work, for example. So having spent only about 20-30 minutes per day (approximate duration of one lesson) and even not paying so much attention to grammatical rules (which one may consider boring) you find yourself in some days easily understanding new colloquial language.

Ever thought about learning something new? Rocket Languages is the best to start learning a language which you thought might be difficult to study! You'll be impressed how it is in fact easy to talk!

This is absolutely the best language product I've bought. It's working great for both me and my daughter, Rocket Language had us speaking a new language right from the start. It is so nice to listen to my daughter speak a new language and now my wife is going to start going through the lessons, this is fantastic!

This is fun! It is not like school work instead it is like playing games. The best part is listening to the speakers speak the language so you can 'get' the ear! I am spending thirty minutes on Rocket Spanish five times a week and it is paying off!

This program is the best. I have used the Pimsleur course for Spanish and although it is a good program for purely memorization of phrases, it does not teach you the language or explain the verb conjugations or sentence structure. I used the Italian program for my trip to Italy and it was wonderful. Some people actually thought i spoke the language fluently and I had to stop them and slow it down. The program was worth every penny.
I am now using the Spanish program and the difference in my understanding of the language and the speed with which I am learning it as compared to Pimsleur is unbelievable. If you want a program to learn a language and you are willing to put in the time and effort, this is your program.

Audio lessons are a great tool to practice speaking aloud.
It would be great to have audio with the option of slow motion when listening.
Thanks for providing such a great application!!
I have already learnt so much.
