Rocket Languages Reviews

This is a great course for interactive learning. It is thorough, step by step program, which reinforces grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation of what has been learned previously. I recommend it to students especially those at beginning and intermediate levels.

Rocket French is exactly what I need to improve my confidence in speaking french; I just wish I had discovered it earlier! I am an intermediate learner with very limited access to native french speakers. I was becoming frustrated with my french learning as even though I had learnt a lot from other sources and can understand spoken french reasonably well, my spoken french is poor in comparison. I bought level 3 Rocket French and the Travelogue a month ago and have already noticed an improvement, as has my Skype french teacher! I love the format of the exercises: repetition and more repetition is definitely what I need as a mature student! Highly recommended.

This started well, but the App was changes and now the microphone does not give any time to respond. Despite repeated requests to rectify the problem, nothing has changed. I am now forced to request my money back as the product is NOT fit for purpose.

Spend less time on trying to sell you products and more time on making them work!

This company has really impressed me. I bought the Japanese language course over 9 years ago, but never invested myself in it. After all this time I thought there was no way I'd still have access to the course, but I did.
This year I finally started studying it, and couldn't be happier with the rate at which I'm learning. I'm also really pleased to be able to check and practice my enunciation with the recording feature. 10/10 would recommend.

I have been searching for a perfect and easy Chinese learning tool ever since I came to China three weeks ago, and out of all the tools that I came across, Rocket Chinese is by far the most easy and straight forward tool that one can use to learn Chinese. I have been able to master and speak a few words in my three day learning of Chinese using Rocket Chinese which has greatly helped me to settle as quickly as possible in China.

I sat down for my 'Rocket Spanish' session this morning and feel so happy with the quick progress I'm making that I thought I'd come on here and write a review. I'm surprised to see that there's not thousands of 5 star reviews! Because this is really working for me. I think Rocket Spanish should reach out to youtube polyglots and sponsor their videos for more outreach because that's the best way for new people to find you.
In any case, I've been trying to learn Spanish for many years, and Rocket languages is so far the best thing I've found next to Glossika and when you combine them both, they really work a treat.
I purchased Rocket Spanish on black Friday and also started the trial of 'Rocket French' so I can communicate with my boyfriend. He has tried to teach me in the past and failed...and now, after 1 lesson we are already having a very sweet little conversation 'Salud, commet ca va?' and he says my pronunciation is perfect, due to copying from the native speaker.

The lessons are full of useful phrases and vocabulary. The presenters make everything clear and accessible, and there is an element of fun which is great to reinforce the learning process. I look forward to my lessons every day! And I know I'm making progress!

The program--either on desktop or tablet, often does not record my voice, and thus does not record portions of lessons. This is not getting better. Until Rocked Languages can improve its server, I'd advise avoiding the program.

Fabulous program. Teaches you in a variety of ways, reinforces at every step. Practical and fun!

Summary: It is most important to start SPEAKING a language as soon as possible to get comfortable with it. I think that Rocket does a decent job getting you ready with some key phrases, pronunciation, and review, but it overloads the learner with too much new vocabulary per lesson.

Format: I really like the audio format in a nice progressive pace and it's less 'cluttered' than the popular pod101 program. The review material is very well rounded, using audio, writing practice, spanish - english and english - spanish practice, plus flashcards (english - spanish).

Overall audio quality: Try the trial to hear them speak. Decide for yourself. In my opinion, Mauricio has a good accent and Carmen speaks slowly. Amy is a dork and I get a little tired of hearing her voice. Her Spanish makes me cringe. The "repeat after me" can be very rushed and I have to pause so that I get a chance to actually repeat a phrase.

Workload: The dialogues can be quite long (some almost 45 minutes!) and the practice has WAY too much vocabulary to absorb for one lesson. I'm currently doing a lesson in Level 2 that has 117 words.
