Rocket Languages Reviews

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.

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 :)

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.

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!

Learning a language is possible not by only going through books but by actually implementing it in your daily speech and hearing the correct pronunciations. And ROCKET JAPANESE has made it possible! They give you a chance to speak, practice and even explain simple conversations that every tourist will need. Not only that, There are tests which enhances learning process. Rocket Japanese rocks!

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.

Thus far this course is more than expected. the introduction to every lesson is quite helpful. If all goes well with level 1 and 2 level three is looking realistic. Finally, I need to communicate with my cousin in Calabria much better. Thanks

The interactive audio lessons are so fun, non-stressful, and easy to use. I love the feature that allows me to input translations just by highlighting the words in the conversation and then test myself by going through it on my own. I download the lessons I'm working on and listen to them in the car or at work. I've already recommended Rocket Languages to most of my family and friends! Rocket Languages is nearly perfect but one thing I'd like to see at some point is more audio reviews with different uses of the words from the lesson and a review covering literally everything up to the present point. So if I'm at lesson 1.3, i'd like to see a review covering 1.0-1.3 on it. Or if I'm at lesson 3.2, I'd like to review 1.0-3.2 at some point to make sure I haven't forgotten the basics.

It's easy to follow through the lessons and there are additional explanation given in the interactive audio to help me understand more on how to apply certain words in another way! The testing session re-enforces my current learning and helps me to remember better and faster! Makes learning fun and so much easier than I first started learning from the internet.

I really enjoy using the program because it is thorough and challenging but not complicated. I like being able to record myself speaking and compare it to native speakers. It has really helped me improve pronunciation. Over all I say this is a great system.
