Rocket Languages Reviews

Rocket German is my 3rd Rocket language course: it is awesome and it let me learn the basics quickly.
I would highly recommend it to get a primer of the language and as a support to grammar classes or books.
If you need a basic to intermediate command of the language, Rocket is definitely enough, plus it helps really A LOT with pronunciation!
Then, if you are aiming to master a foreign language I can share what worked for me. I learnt French and Portuguese in less than 1 year (well enough to be able to work in those languages) and I am progressing very quickly with German right now.
I have started with Rocket premium level 1, then I have taken few private classes while continuing with Rocket.
At the same time, I try to listen to the Radio and watch movies in foreign language whenever possible.
Whatever is your goal, I cannot stress enough the importance of Rocket Language in learning a new language.

Rocket Language course for German Language study is really useful and one can attend to the course at his or her timings. One aspect that is of highly appreciative isthat what is required of one to go over to a Language Lab all theway is easily reachable at our home and at our study desk. At any time of the day or night , I can just open my Computer and listen to and respond to through interactive audio lessons. Thats awesome and I like it. Since I would like to be outspoken though not critical , I expected certain simple grammer learnings like the prepositions, modal verbs infinite verbs and their conjugations . pronouns , cases and tenses. If these aspects of the grammer is introduced to the beginner, it would have been still better for a beginner to understand any simple sentences in german language. To sum up I liked the lessons that I have covered till date.

I've used many language learning courses, and have found this one to be particularly impressive. I think the writing aspect of new vocabulary is vital, and something that tends to be overlooked by other methods; the ease of revision is also a major point in its favour, through flashcards, repeating activities already done, and so on. I've been using this for French, and would certainly consider purchasing a package for another language. The free trial was also a great way of allowing me to make up my mind before investing in the course. I'd certainly recommend this to anyone else seeking an effective way of starting a language.

Outstanding Learning tools, Other Language learning tools have nothing on Rocket Korean, I can learn on my Laptop at home or on my phone during breaks at work. And Depending on the Area I am working , I can put my ear piece in and learn away, I really love the Voice recognition

I came to Rocket Japanese as a refugee from Duolingo. It is so good to use such a well thought out and "grown up" programme. I am especially pleased to have so much listening and speaking practice. I guess it would be very challenging to start as an absolute beginner; I'm glad I already know hiragana, katakana and a few kanji.

I indicated I would be likely to buy again because I didn't want to give a negative response, but it's a one off subscription so I don't need to, Great!
I've been using Rocket Japanese for 38 days.

I have now completed over 100 days and have to say I am even more pleased with the course now. In addition to the excellent course materials if you do have a query you get a very prompt and helpful reply. Very encouraging.

265 day update: I'm now finding the course quite challenging, which is a good thing. The language has become more complex. I like the way vocabulary and grammar you have already learned keeps cropping up again to help reiforce what I have learned.

The format is very interesting and easy to learn. The lessons are in bite-sized chunks and easy to memorise. I started about a week back and I am happy with the progress I am making. Thank you Rocket Languages!

I started with Rosetta Stone , I got frustrated when they introduced words and sentences that you had no explanation of. This frustrated me to no end, then I looked at someones blog post that referred to this site and thank God cause this is amazing. I read in someones review posted on this site that you can't go back to listen to something you missed during the conversation. I'd like to set it straight that you can actually use the thing you plug into the computer that allows you to move the cursor on the screen and drag the round circle back to where you want to. You DONT have to finish the conversation to the end and and replay it. *Sigh* Anyway, I'm excited to learn Russian, I have 3 months to get what I can down pat and hopefully be able to carry on some basic conversation, with the parents :) Its great when you have beautiful motivation to keep you engaged in the lessons. Also the mobile app is amazing, I can go on walks and in the car listening to the conversations in full to review. Thanks Rocket Languages!!! I will definitely learn Spanish and then Japanese next if this goes well!

Rocket italian is not bad, but it could be so much better.

I'm still studying Level 1 - Unit 3 but I have noticed several issues:
- The audio tracks are a bit long for my taste. They take from 20 to 30 minutes and are spoken very slowly. The website and the app don't allow you to speed it up, so you have to download the tracks in order to do it;
- The conversations are between a native italian and a heavily accented american. I am not a native english speaker and several of the rocket students also aren't so I don't see why not using only native italian speakers on the audio tracks
- There are several small translation mistakes and inadequacies, over time they start being annoying;
- Some audios should be reviewed/updated, the other day I heard one that made reference to the year 2008.

Also, Rocket Languages is oblivious to the existence of potential students in developing countries (as in my case) when establishing their pricing strategy. These courses are way more expensive for me, for instance, as they are for my american or european counterparts, when purchase power is concerned.

Rocket languages also does not give meaningful discounts when you enroll in more than one language.

Over the years I've tried to learn German through adult ed classes (results depended too much on individual teacher), Rosetta Stone (a very poor approach), and Duolingo (good, but missing some important learning elements). I love the multi-faceted Rocket Language approach and it's the method that works for me! Vielen Dank!

The voice narrator needs to be replaced, she is too monotone. Lessons should still to an extent reteach verb forms or grammar rules they have mentioned before, instead of telling the audience to refer to an obscure moment in a previous audio session. Besides that, the course is helpful.
