I'm pleased with Rocket German. The program has worked well on my iMac, provided I use the Chrome browser. Lessons are well sorgfanized, and if you keep at it day and are using the grammar as well as interactive lessons your fluency and reading will improve. I'm doubtful that writing will make similar progress as the structure is not a good, at leas so far, for teaching students to write German well, though students do get plenty of practice transcribing what they hear. I would not hesitate to recommend it to somebody wishing to learn to read and speak better German. I find it does help to make a point to watch movies and TV programs in German.
Just finished the first module. Tremendous fun so far. It starts very gently, not at all daunting, and has plenty of repetition and reinforcement. The structure of the lessons allows for the same material to be rehearsed in many different forms — imitating speech, initiating speech, writing, identifying speech — without getting bored. The narrative framework of Alessandro the novice and Maria the native speaker is actually quite entertaining.
I am surprised to be enjoying learning Japanese. It IS challenging and takes effort, but the (literally) infinite patience of the instructors and light-hearted nature of the instruction keep it enjoyable. Teaching with conversations initially seems daunting. but it's broken down so well, that you will feel accomplishment by lesson's end. 4 stars on the service only because I haven't needed it yet.
Very good format in general. However a few recordings are distorted and difficult to hear and a small number have volume variations.
The tools facility is very good. The flash cards sometimes remain blank until you press reveal,
On the benchmark test the word to be spoken sometimes does not appear and therefore defeats the purpose of the test.
Rocket Languages is a very good program overall. I have only recently started using it but am finding it a very good way to learn a language. There are several different ways to use the program to learn like writing, pronunciation, flashcards etc
The free trial was very good. Elected to purchase 1st set based on the free trial. Had some issues with unlocking the purchased due to my error. This was pointed out by a very helpful customer service person, however, it did take sometime for a response. Got very frustrated waiting for a response after several emails, / customer help calls.
Once unlocked my account works really well. The lessons are on point and user friendly. Strongly recommend.
I previously purchased Rocket Italian and learned quite a bit in preparation for travel. I'm now onto Rocket German as a refresher: many years ago, I learned German. In my experience, using Rocket as a refresher course has been particularly effective. Sometimes the pacing of the lessons can be a bit overwhelming (especially around verbs). For instance, in the Italian course, occasionally, a huge amount of information would be dumped on the learner, and it became a matter of learning by rote. Overall, however, I think Rocket Languages are a very satisfying way to learn languages and feel more a part of the rest of the world. I think the pricing is more than reasonable.
It really teaches language well. I am learning Egyptian Arabic and I love how Rocket Arabic is teaching to talk, read and write. Good tests and good well organised audio lessons. The most important is to be learning yourself and this app is really helpful. Well useable in phone or laptop any time.
I love this program. The interactive audio courses are amazing! I feel like I am learning so much French and enjoying the process. I will definitely use this program to learn other languages in the future.
I am heading to Costa Rica early next year for a vacation and thought it would be good to have some local Spanish language skills. I tried a few on-line and other software program trials but found Rocket to have what I wanted at the price I was willing to pay. I am 69 so learning new things is quite a bit more difficult than it used to be, but it keeps my mind active which is a benefit most people would not think of. So far I am enjoying the program and have learned quite a bit. This program also goes into why things are said the way they are said and also provides you with additional info to add to your learning experience. As with learning any language, practice is necessary. Rocket provides an easy and precise way of practicing any or all of what you have learned which is very helpful and doesn't require you to "endure" the things you don't want to replay. I did use the Rocket customer service regarding two questions I had. They were very responsive and resolved my needs. So far I am quite pleased with my purchase and recommend it to others
I like the way review is spiraled into several lessons, so the words really stick. I also like the multimodal practice with each lesson. I expected to have some difficulty picking up Italian after many years of not practicing any language except English, but I'm learning more quickly and remembering more thorougly than I thought I would. Tutto bravo!
