Rocket Languages Reviews

The best part of the course is that it works because of how addictive I am to it. I love working everyday using Rocket Language, so my skills are improving exponentially. Absolutely love this program, not even one regret of the purchase I made.

I am working with Rocket_Italian for about a month now - and love it. Despite the fact that it's an audio course I am actually retaining a lot. The many different exercises focusing on "recall" help one pay attention. Grammar is explained well ... but it's not overwhelming. The speakers are fun to listen to ... and the culture remarks offer some interesting insights. Overall, a great program. I wished I had had something like that when I struggled through learning Spanish "the traditional way". Keep up the good work.

Re flash cards: it would help to have pictures in addition to sound to make them "stick better". Maybe this can be added where appropriate?

I got Rocket Spanish four years ago after much hemming and hawing. I wanted to become a bilingual Spanish teacher for elementary grades (I did ;). I was preparing for 6 weeks of Spanish Language immersion in Costa Rica, and wanted to make the most of my time there. I didn't want to waste time learning the Basics in a foreign country.

I started with the Premium program, because I was leery of the cost and not sure of the quality. I was quickly convinced it was a solid investment, and decided Premium Plus would be a worthwhile. I had a great time in Costa Rica, and felt like my Spanish foundations were solid. I love Mauricio, and especially his mom. I enjoyed the audio conversations, so listening to them was never a chore.

Here I am four years later, and now I need to learn Chinese (my fiance is Chinese, and his family is visiting soon, for the wedding :). I've looked at lots of programs, and I am having as much trouble as when I was looking for Spanish programs. I thought I should give Rocket Languages another shot.

I logged in to my old account, No Problem!!! It's been four years, I was expecting my account to have been de-actived. Nope, it was waiting for me the whole time. Reflecting on my positive Spanish experience, I'm going to give Rocket Chinese a try. I am optimistic I will be able to leave another glowing review.

This is a great site to help you learn a language. I am using it to learn Italian, having grown up around the language, i thought I already knew the basics, but this has helped me to learn how to speak properly and learn even more! It's very thorough in it's explanations of why certain words are used and how to learn the correct grammar and forms of the words. The voice recognition is an excellent tool in helping you to make sure your pronunciation is correct. It works best with headphones and helps to point out which parts of a sentence you are saying incorrectly, then you can mark it easy or hard so you can come back to it later if you need more practice. They also have a wonderful app that allows you to practice on the go! Honestly without the app, i might never get on to practice, i’m usually too lazy to actually get onto the computer so the app has been fantastic. You can do everything on the app that you can on the website. Customer service is great, I had trouble using the app at first so i sent an email and got a very quick reply. They are also open to suggestions on what you think can be improved so that you can learn easier. Money well spent!

Living in regional Australia, I am unable to undertake formal Russian language studies, but this is the next best thing. It manages to cover all the essential language skills which is something I haven't found in a lot of self-directed courses. Self-directed teaching means my speaking and listening skills need extra attention to ensure I am always progressing.

My favourite feature is being able to compare my own voice to that of a native speaker—it has helped my spoken Russian immensely. As an ESL tutor, another feature I love is "language chunking". It makes forming new sentences easier, and I can speak phrases with a more natural flow.

What I love about the course is that even in the very first lessons I started to say simple things, as you learn useful words that you can use in any situation. That really boosted my confidence and it helped me to stay motivated to continue the course.
Also it is interesting. You can do the dialogues playing the role of one of the speakers. That is very useful as you can start to feel at home with the language. It is like really having this conversation with someone.
It is not difficult, as words and sentences are repeated a lot and that helps me to remember. Every new lesson there is a review of the former lesson and the new lesson uses many of the words you already know, so you can understand fairly well what is being said.
I try sometimes to find some free courses on the internet, but this course is worth every penny! Last but not least, when I pay for something it helps me to be more serious about learning :)

I find there is generally too much preamble getting into each dialogue - too much from the English guy especially. Ironically, he seems to be talking as though adressing an ESOl class . However, as a native speaker, I find his delivery and Uk accent quite amateurish. E.g he says "wiv" instead of " with" etc. just irritating. Also, I am disappointed that he is used in dialogues when his Mandarin accent is not spot-on. Just model the genuine accent by using a Chinese speaker for each dialogue. Also, in the 2nd Premium pack, the upgrade, I wouldn't have bothered buying it had I known it involved a module devoted to planning a wedding - relevant to about 5% at best of your the average audience.

I love this course, it is not easy for me, but I have picked it up and have full conversations now with my mother and father in law in Cairo.

I listen to it every day in the car, at work, in bed It is very easy to use and I'm enjoying it immensely.

I will keep it up, and also keep going over lessons that I have already done.

My husband is Egyptian and he has told me that I am very good now and getting better.

So happy with this course!

I've been using Rocket Japanese for a while now, and it is the greatest learning tool I have ever used. The lessons are in small bites so you don't get overwhelmed. Everything is explained in the lessons. Then there are the Culture, Grammar, and other lessons which are extremely useful. I love the in-depth way Rocket teaches, and they still manage to make it fun! The reinforcement activities are wonderful fun, and I do them over and over just because I can. It is so motivating to do a lesson over again, especially the Play It, and can pronounce all the sentences 100% correctly when I couldn't do it a month before. If you want to learn a language, Rocket is the way to do it, and you will learn and have fun at the same time.

Blows Duolingo out of the water. I purchased this program for my teens before we make a trip to Latin America. We're enjoying it!
