Rocket Hindi Reviews

It is a very good web site if you have learned some grammar before. The grammar explanations will not we good enough for a beginner, but for someone who wants to repeat and strengthen her oral knowledge is is great.

This really is a useful tool to learn Hindi. I am very happy with the method of teaching and I have learnt quite bit of Hindi in a short time. I will not hesitate to recommend Rocket Hindi to my friends.

it really helps me learn hindi unlike other website I payed........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... a lot shukriya

I tried the Hindi language trial package and found very helpful. Hence decided to buy the material. Hope to make some good progress and learn Hindi as soon as possible. Currently Rocket Hindi offers only Level 1 premium version. However, if they upgrade to other levels, it will be helpful. Looking forward for their support for learning a new language.

I chose to try the Rocket Language course (Hindi) because of its lower price in comparison to its competitors and the good reviews that it has received. However, I have had many frustrations in using the course. Things that have been frustrating, include, primarily: inaccuracies in spelling, inaccuracies in grading exercises and waiting for weeks to get responses to e-mails. Because I paid less for this course than many others on the market my disappointment has been moderated somewhat.

Your other languages may merit higher marks, which may be the reason this product gained the better reviews which you reference in your promotional material. I would find it difficult to substantiate their claims based upon the Hindi course alone.

I thought maybe this is a sort of Beta software where you are still trying to work the bugs out. At least that may be the case for the Hindi course. I might have done more to help you with pointing out the errors except your response time for the few times I tried was pitifully slow.

On the positive side: I have made some genuine progress. I do appreciate the improvements that have been made since starting the course.

The Audio lessons are a great way to learn, the dialogues are very well done. And the voice recognition technology, while it needs some tweaks still, really helps practising to say difficult sounds and get the rhythm down.

Unfortunately, there are all kinds of mistakes in the Hindi lessons: inconsistent transcriptions, sentences attributed to a different translation, etc. This is something a good proofread could clear up, best by a native speaker, but even a non-native learner could help there. (Just ask if you need advice, i have some ideas.)

Finally, while it seems clear that formal grammar is not a priority (that's a fine choice), it should be reviewed by someone who understands grammar to avoid obvious errors that could lead to roadblocks once a learner eventually needs to take on the formal grammar points.

A completely worthwhile purchase overall! Bravo!

Rocket Hindi is my favourite language learning method after reading actual books, which give me much more in depth understanding of grammar.
My fault with it is the use of the inherent vowel at the end of the English (romanised) tranliteration of words and where it’s not pronounced in the middle of some words. It’s a massive let down to the service and gets in the way of every session. The inherent ‘a’ vowel is only pronounced in Sanskrit. So for example the word namaskar, which almost everywhere else is transliterated as namaskar, on Rocket Hindi it’s written namaskara. Your brain is already spending a lot of effort learning new worlds, sounds, spellings, associations. To have to them sift out this ‘a’ all the time is exasperating.
They could simply write something about the inherent vowel at the start of the course. I mean it’s an English Transliteration not the actual spelling anyway. It’s meant to sound how the word is pronounced.
Every time I come across a word while I’m listening to the audio at the same time and it doesn’t match the audio I get a moment of confusion. I have to look hard at the word to see why it’s pronounced differently, if it is the inherent vowel or something else.

I am now working on the 3rd module of the Hindi course, so I've tested the programme a fair bit. Hindi must be about the 20th language I study, so I have some idea of what learning a language is about.

While I enjoy the app, the format, the light-heartedness of the dialogues and voice actors, I am frustrated by a number of things.

First of all, there are too many typos for a language course. As a learner, I shouldn't be left wondering what's going on, only to realize later that it was a typo. There are too many weird things happening, like odd or irregular translations, plurals instead of singulars, the female voice actor reading a first-person response in the masculine, etc. All this gets in the way of the otherwise fun topics and voice actors. It adds confusion to an already difficult process.

Second, I disagree with the general principle that the student should just repeat without understanding. I'm fine with putting emphasis on the carelessness of "just repeat and you'll eventually get it", and it does remove pressure from the student to perform, but there are grammatical questions that need to be explained (even with some simple additional written material), and to leave it to chance, frankly, just feels lazy.

So far I love it! I have tried rosetta stone, pimsleur, living languages etc. the rocket languages program is the best by far. I love that it has listening to native speakers and also writing and lots of quizzes.

Guys, Rocket Language found a great platform to learn Hindi. I learnt like a baby, very easy and simple way they have to teach their students. Rocket language not only focusing on any one, it focuses reading & writing including speaking. The most important thing would like to share with you is listening, listening is a very grabbing tool for learning any language. To me, it is my ambition to learn Hindi specially writing skills as it is so complex but interesting.
I would appreciate and recommend Rocket Language to learn Hindi and/or any other language.
Good Luck everyone.
