Rocket Portuguese Reviews

This is the best program I have found that is interactive. Very conversational and practical with tips on how to handle oneself. The useful information on forming word and sentence structure will make it easy to form my own sentences in talking with others.

It's a great way to learn a language with a real emphasis on speaking. You feel you are making progress quickly.

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.

I've tried a number of language programs - and I think Rocket Languages is the best. I like that they order the lessons in a logical way to allow you to speak relevant sentences quickly (versus some of the others where Level 1 - 2 is just nouns). I also love that there is four prong test - on your hearing, speaking, writing and comprehension. My only complaint is some small misspellings and errors with the written grading - but I know those will be fixed with time. Really great product!

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!

I've been spending almost half a year in Brazil for 3 years and my language skills are minimal. I moved here permanently and got married two months ago, time to get serious. The two live teachers I've tried just haven't worked out, this looks promising! Looking forward to cracking the language nut!

Really happy with this product. My girlfriend is Brazilian and I've been looking for a good starter course in Portuguese. I'm only halfway through module one, but everything about this course has been excellent so far. The choice of contents, the quality of the material, the structure and delivery (including the mobile apps), and the feedback and review mechanisms have all been fantastic. The price is also very reasonable for what you get, and is far more competitively priced compared to the competition. The Portuguese course seems to be only suitable for beginners, but it's perfect to get me started.

it's so amazing , I love it and now I can learn portugese and 'm so happy

The Portuguese language is a romance language with the similarity of Italian and Spanish. Reading and hearing is an important factor to learn the language. I am always reading and hearing, and speaking the Portuguese language through my tongue in order to practice my tongue in pronunciation with hardship.
