Find out what actual users have to say about our courses through their Rocket Languages reviews.
Rocket Languages is awesome for people with a lot of time on their hands, but the lessons are far too long for someone with a busy schedule. The Hear It Say It and Write It sections are absurdly long and time consuming. I wish it were at or below 50.
the excercises are less,even too simple. Every single charpter is well,like order menu,book room,Say,the price is satisfing each one,and I hope it can open to everyone for free,that's exciting, or make some easy games or Words Puzzle; whatever it like , it make learner more keen to learning, and make a better memory,learn all word and prase by heart.
The repitition of the concepts in each lesson really cements learning in one's mind. The program is challenging for me. But I feel that the work is worth it as I believe I am learning the language
I have tried Rosetta Stone in the past as well as Duolingo and Babbel. I feel that Rocket Languages has been the most beneficial out of all of the ones that I named previously. I really like the amount of content as well as the reinforcement that you get from previous lessons as you go forward. Another great feature is the ability to download the conversations. I have also noticed that as your progress the speed at which they speak increases. This is really nice because it gives you a chance to attune your ears to the language when it is being spoken at a faster speed.
I definitely liked the price point of this program compared to Rosetta Stone. You definitely get more bang for your buck with this program. The amount that I have picked up on in just a couple of weeks has been awesome. Would highly recommend this product!

Great Way to learn and perfect other languages it helped me so much!
Unfortunatley, it's not going to be "awesome".
1. There is way too much English in the units. As a former language teacher I believe focus should be in the target language as much as possible.
2. The voice recognition does not work and cannot be calibrated. Doing the speaking units is useless.
3. The write it section should check what you wrote and not let you progress until you have it correct.
Response from Rocket Languages
Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Scott - Thanks for your review. It is important to note that the first few lessons do have a reasonable amount of English, and that this lessens as you progress through the course and get to know more Spanish.
The voice recognition does work, and if you are having problems then please check the FAQs, contact customer support, or try the Rocket Languages Android/iOS apps.
The "Write it" section does check what you write. As with all our activities the rating we give is a guideline that you can either accept or rate yourself.
Excellent lessons without a teacher and I highly recommend this package.
I so wish I had been using this program on my laptop right from the beginning. There is so much more available than what's in the app.
I really like that you can be recorded and hear the playback of yourself speaking your target language. There are some things I was mispronouncing that I didn't realize until I heard the playback.
The flashcards are a great feature and I like how the lessons are broken down into modules with a test at the end of each module.
I would enjoy if some more features were added, like real world articles in your target language, video news clips, etc. For Spanish, the Telenovela method can really help you learn to speak and understand the language. It would be cool if that was incorporated into this program. The repetitive nature of the what's available can become wearing.
Overall, it's a great program!
I like the format, in that I think it is conducive for learning.
Rocket Spanish has truly helped me have a better life because my boyfriend is Mexican and we would argue because of not being able to communicate. I'm so happy now and so is my boyfriend, now husband. Thanks rocket Spanish. Pamela Roach
