Rocket Languages Reviews

I am very impressed with Rocket Languages. Studying foreign language has been a passion of mine for twenty years and I'm always looking for useful study tools. I've tried in-person classes at Berlitz, Inlingua, Boston Language Institute and others. I've tried remote study from many popular courses including Berlitz, Pimsleur, DuoLingo, and Babbel. Rocket Languages is currently my go-to top choice for online language learning.

I love Rocket Japanese. I am able to hear myself speak Japanese. Second, I like the flash cards because it helps reinforce the new words that I've learned. I also like that I have indefinite use of the courses that I have bought.

I researched several language courses and decided on Rocket Languages. I tried the trial offer and the price was very reasonable, so I purchased all three levels. I must say that I have truly enjoyed my first two months of Rocket Italian.

The program keeps me motivated which I believe is very important. If I ever try to learn another language I would definitely buy Rocket Language and I would highly recommend it to friends.

Estoy aprendiendo Espanol otra vez. I learned quite a bit from age 2 through high school, but I let it lapse for over 40 years. I wanted to pick back up efficiently and comprehensively. As I have worked through the first 7 lessons in Rocket Spanish, I am amazed with how much has come flooding back. It has been like opening a chest that has been in the attic for 40 years. The lessons so far have linked to age old lessons, and are causing me to remember Spanish at a rate that I didn’t think was possible for an old guy like me.
I would not only recommend Rocket Spanish to someone learning Spanish for the first time, but also for those who are familiar and for those whom Spanish is an old friend, long forgotten.

The accent is laughable. As in, my spanish friends couldn't stop laughing. It's Mexican spanish, in a bad accent. The plays and lessons are mired in stereotypes, sexist, and awful. As far as actually learning Spanish goes, I'm struggling on with it, but I can't say it's really helped so far. Hopefully it will start sticking, but having spent six weeks in Madrid recently, I didn't feel this course helped me at all, and I was still struggling with even the most basic conversations. There doesn't seem to be any background to the lessons, or intricacies of the verbs and their conjugations, which are just brushed over.
I've paid for it now, so will keep persevering for the moment, but I regret the purchase.

Overall, I've enjoyed the Rocket German product. It would be very helpful to have a set of audio control buttons (play/pause/rewind 3 sec) positioned directly beneath the Quick Settings on the left margin of the web page for the interactive lessons. When I listen to the interactive lessons on a computer, I constantly have to scroll from the line in the lesson back to the top of the page to pause/replay a word/phrase. Similarly, a rewind 3 sec button on the phone version is desperately needed. Lastly, I would like to see a video option for the Language & Culture Lessons. Reading through all of this is a little dry. I want to watch/hear an instructor saying these words/phrases. Thanks

Rocket Spanish is a revelation! At first glance the trial lesson looked like a lot of "fragmented" vocabulary to take on board. However, once started it quickly turns into a trail of gradual understanding. The "bite-sized" treatment of the material quickly turns into a game and you are gradually drawn into completing each section.

I have many programs such as Francais Authentique, Fluenz French, Rosetta Stone, etc., but I like Rocket programs because it allows me to practice to listen and talk. You can learn grammar by books but getting accustomed to French and actually to voice some phrases, this is very good. I would like to listen to TV5 or RFI and understand them with ease some day.

I had actually done the Rocket Spanish and I was a bit disappointed with Rocket Japanese. I do not feel that there are enough lessons to get an understanding of the material. I also do not feel that verbs were covered enough.

Here I go again, I thought! Yet another attempt to learn a language I have been studying from the age of 11 years. I am now nearly 70. I just don't seem to be grasping the speaking part! I can understand reasonably well what is spoken to me, but by the time the brain cells function and my mouth begins to open another topic as been started. Enter Rocket Language, stage left. Brilliant! I can start where I want. I can dip in, dip out, go back, go forward, become extremely studious or just forget it. Just what I need for my type of lifestyle. To top it all there are those little stealthy reminders that gnaw on your conscience sending little waves of guilt through the synapses of your brain. Would I recommend it? Yes! It encourages me to keep moving sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but ever forward. Kieran
