I'm fluent in Spanish and I have always wanted to learn Portuguese. I tried out the trial version of Rocket Portuguese and found it fantastic and easy to follow. I like that there are both male and female voices. However, I found it a bit confusing because they seem to pronounce the same word differently. For example, the male voice Paulo pronounces "de onde" like "dze ondze", while the femal voice pronounces with a clear articulation of "de onde". Maybe it's the accent? Hope I can get a better sense of it from the rest of the course!
It's fun and not boring at all! Thank you Rocket Languages!
I am a speaker of basic Portuguese and have been exposed to the language in business. However when you do not speak it on a regular basis - you lose it. I have found Rocket and so far I am extremely impressed with the interactive nature of the programme. I believe that this will bridge the gap for me with the Portuguese language. I am going to seriously consider using Rocket for my next challenge, which will be French - keep it up, you're the best, so far.
Rocket Languages is helping me prepare for my move to Rio De Janiero. Other programs I tried didn't seem to make much sense the way they introduced concepts. I really enjoy the way Rocket Languages sets up it's courses. Best program I've found so far. Muito Bem!
This has been a very good course that I'm taking and I have been learning a lot from this course. I like it that I can learn Portuguese within an 8 week time period and be able to talk to my family in Brazil.
I think that I would have no problem talking to the people if I was to take a trip to Brazil myself.
Having decided to learn Portuguese to impress and become more involved with my Brazilian friends, I chose Rocket languages. It's great! It's Brazilian Portuguese, so exactly what I wanted, and it is so easy to use either on my laptop at home or tablet during lunch at work.
I've tried a little with my friends and they've commented on my good pronunciation - all thanks to Rocket Languages. The way the language is introduced is intuitive and it sticks. Being able to record and listen back to your attempts really helps to improve pronunciation and help to retain vocabulary.
I'm not at the point where I can hold a conversation yet, but given time and Rocket Languages excellent approach I believe I'll be meeting my friends expectations now that they now I'm learning.
Muito obrigado, Rocket Languages. Your product works and I thoroughly recommend it.
I find the Rocket course an excellent course covering the full range of skills needed to communicate in another language.
It also has the facility to practice speaking the language. I would recommend it to anyone who needs to learn or improve communication in Portuguese
Its a quality languge. Help in learning working knowledge of the secondary language from this plateform. Its really would be proved the best and everyone would be taken benefit with a nominal and attracking pricing. So far so learning concept, it is like an investment of learning with modern way. Last but not least, it is an unique method of learning.
In my opinion the best method for learning another language I have seen until now. In two weeks I already knew enough portugues to have a small conversation with people during my holiday in Lisboa. Besides that, it is fun and easy to use.
I've been using Rocket for the past month along with a couple other language programs (Pimsleur, transparent, Duolingo, and Memrise) to boost my learning of Portuguese. Overall, I really like Rocket. The ability to download the audio is a big help as I commute a lot. The audio training is not as in depth as Pimsleur, but it is very good. The variety of lessons and the ability to jump around is great. The leader board helps to provide incentive to keep practicing which helps. Also, the entire program is very well rounded.
I sometimes have trouble with the record audio but it works most of the time. It is nice to be able to hear your own voice and compare to the teachers for accuracy. My biggest complaint with Rocket Portuguese is with the male speaker (Paulo). His pronunciation of words ending in "s" has a very harsh "sh" sound which is completely different from the female teacher and every other audio teacher I have heard. Words like "Bem vindos" which has a soft "os" ending are pronounced like "Bem vindoosh". I can understand that Paulo may be from a different part of Brazil and perhaps it is pronounced that way there. However, when every other teacher pronounces it with a soft ending you want to practice and mimmic the right way.
Overall, this is a great program and I plan on becoming conversationally fluent with Portuguese with Rocket's help.
This is a great course! I've always wanted to learn Portuguese, and this helps me become engaged. I recognized Portuguese before through my mom but hearing the individual with the Rio accent makes it difficult to understand especially since it's a unique accent. For example, I wouldn't recommend someone to learn English from someone with a New York or southern accent. Other than that, it's incredible!
