I would love Rocket Languages if it would work and the sound would stop cutting out. I ask for help they say it will take 2 days to get a response for my request. I really thought the first course 1.1 was great but i cant get past 1.2 because it plays for awhile and then the sound cuts out.

Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Darlene - We are following up with you via email/Skype to try and resolve the issue!
I'm so glad that I found this program (I saw it highly reviewed on a blog). I'm using it to learn Arabic, and I'm really impressed with all of the ways the program allows you to practice along the way. You spend a lot of time actually vocalizing the words rather than just reading them or hearing them. The program records your attempts at each word/sentence and rates your progress with each one (100%, 75%, 50%, 0%). You can easily go back to the words that you're struggling with to keep practicing them. The lessons are very helpful, and they list the important phrases below so you don't have to try and find them again in the larger recording. It's equally great on the desktop or the app. I first started using the (free) app and liked it so much that I bought the Level 1 Arabic, and definitely haven't regretted it!
The short time I've used Rocket Language has been tremendous. About half a year ago, I challenged myself to learn Spanish and so started trying the different free options. I found one I liked and poured my time into it, disciplining myself to studying every day. At first I loved it, racking up points and enjoying how successful the app made me feel, yet very soon I became frustrated. Grammar and rules of the language were apparently unimportant as the time was never taken to teach as to why a certain word or phrase was correct. And as for phrases and words that I would actually use in real life? I spent my time talking about giving alcoholic beverages to my pet bear. I soon realized that in regards to learning the language well, I was spinning my wheels.
All that to say this: This program has been a breath of fresh air! Right off the bat, the first lesson gave a tremendous layout of how I am to greet and interact with someone new that I may meet. This was extremely helpful, yet it didn't stop there. I soon found a found tab entitled "Language and Culture." It didn't take long for me to figure out that these lessons taught me the grammar and rules of the Spanish language.
It is a very good web site if you have learned some grammar before. The grammar explanations will not we good enough for a beginner, but for someone who wants to repeat and strengthen her oral knowledge is is great.
So far this has been a great course. I have really enjoyed it. I start out with Rocket Russian first thing every morning and then use my other language courses to build on what I have learned. I've been using it to prepare for an upcoming trip to Russia.
Japan always has fascinated me & when I visited it, I was spell bound. The people, the culture, their politeness, i.e. in one word 'Everything'. The Empire of the Rising Sun, states exactly how Japan is. I never thought in my life, that one day I might get the opportunity, to learn Japanese. Thanks to my business, I got Japanese clients & to honor them, I wanted to learn Japanese. Domo arigtou guzaimasu "Rocket Japanese", that means to you Kenny San & Sayako San. The hard work you have gone through, has blessed my business in so many ways & shall these blessings be with you two as well. My life has changed entirely because of your honest dedication, which gave me a lot of hope & strength. I will further purchase & tell anyone who wants to learn Japanese about "Rocket Japanese" to buy it, because it is more than worth it. Aishi the i masu. Sharmila Ray!!!
I started out as a beginner French speaker, unable to communicate or understand the French language even at a basic level. However, 9 months later after completing the first three levels of the Rocket French course, I can confidently say that I am at an intermediate level of French. I was hoping to become fluent in the end, but I've learned that even the best French courses probably won't get you there. Learning another language is so much more than sitting in front of a computer, but this course really pushed me out of my comfort zone. At times I felt discouraged and didn't think what I was learning was valuable, but looking back and seeing just how far I've come, it was definitely worth the investment. This course offers so much variety, includes tremendous explanations and stimulates your brain by always being one step ahead of you. I would recommend this course because of it's price, it's structure, and the fact that it takes you from not being able to pronounce a single word in the language, to intermediate communication and comprehension. While Rocket French gives you all the tools you need to succeed, the results will depend on how much effort you are willing to put in while completing the course, and afterwards.
This course is amazing I can highly recommend to everybody it provides the highest quality of knowledge after I finish with german I will choose another language.
Es ist beste Qualität, ich liebe rocken german.
I chose to try the Rocket Language course (Hindi) because of its lower price in comparison to its competitors and the good reviews that it has received. However, I have had many frustrations in using the course. Things that have been frustrating, include, primarily: inaccuracies in spelling, inaccuracies in grading exercises and waiting for weeks to get responses to e-mails. Because I paid less for this course than many others on the market my disappointment has been moderated somewhat.
Your other languages may merit higher marks, which may be the reason this product gained the better reviews which you reference in your promotional material. I would find it difficult to substantiate their claims based upon the Hindi course alone.
I thought maybe this is a sort of Beta software where you are still trying to work the bugs out. At least that may be the case for the Hindi course. I might have done more to help you with pointing out the errors except your response time for the few times I tried was pitifully slow.
On the positive side: I have made some genuine progress. I do appreciate the improvements that have been made since starting the course.
I absolutely LOVE Rocket Russian! I have tried so many other books, programs, cds, online tutorials, etc - and this is by far my favorite so far. I love that it uses a lot of repetition to build your foundation. I also love that it's not a monthly thing - but a lifetime subscription so I can take my time and not feel guilty about missing a day or two.
Great program! Love it! Thanks!!
