Rocket Languages Reviews

I agree with several reviewers that the narrator, Sarah is possibly the most monotone person on the planet. I mean, she gives Ben Stein a run for his money. The product idea is great and when it's working properly, it's the best on the market. Unfortunately, I can't gove it five or even four stars as it's just too buggy (sometimes the audio doesn't play or double plays - sounds like there are two Sayakas or Kennys competing for my attention - or the mic doesn't work at times). Hopefully, those are fixed soon!

Tengo setenta y nueve anos y mi mina es poquito flaco. The progression of learning options is not intuitive. I tried to check flashcards, but nothing happened. I attended an english teachers school in Mexico two yers ago. My main poroblem was the computor. surely you can make the lessons a bit more intuitive: when i click "flashcards" something should happen. The problem with the dashboard is that it is separated from the lesson: One must carry info from one basket to another or more likely to several baskets. Info gets dropped in the transportation process. Why not make info transportation easy and intuitive so one does not have to run to and fro to figure out how to make the program work

To much vocab to memorize, practice not good enough

Hi there,

Course seems like pretty good but when it comes to customer service. Its very poor.

In the past I have sent couple of queries but no One ever responded not I can not be able to access my premium French language course.

Could you please resolve the issue as soon as possible .

Thank you

Regards,

LAXMI

I would like to learn Korean on my different devices, Mac, iPad and MS Surface, but I have no clue, how the program remembers how far I had already advanced on one device, when I continue with another. There is apparently no way to log in with my ID and Password, so that the program knows who I am. This feature probably exist, but it is difficult to find out where and how.

Note from Rocket Languages: Hi Jac, thanks for your feedback. Someone of our customer support team has reached out to you to solve this issue. All the best with your Korean learning! Your Rocket Languages Team

I like the way you have to talk. I have been trying to learn spanish fore a few years now, and I can understand a lot.
But when it comes to talking i got stuck.
Now after almost finishing the first module I see that I can answer the questions in the lessons not only repeating, but building new sentences with other words.
I am confident that I will learn to speak.

I like the format and emphasis on spoken language in the Rocket languages online courses. However, I was disappointed in Rocket Spanish because it is totally geared towards younger travellers going to South America, whereas I am an older person spending a few weeks in Spain. There was very little clear advice as to differences in pronunciation, grammar or vocabulary for the language as spoken in Spain - just occasional references. There were no systematic examples of polite conversation with an older person such as a hostess or landlady. I spent a lot of time trying to work out the polite forms of the questions and answers for the ones included in the lessons but had no way of checking whether my attempts were correct. There was no list of days of the week or months of the year which I got from a dictionary but it would have been good to have them included in more of the conversations - they're pretty basic.

The microphone speaking part of the browser is terrible. I have 3 headsets (all expensive) and also used the microphone on the laptop. For simple words like Nom, Bonjour (I am getting zero or sorry I didnt catch that). I know I am not fluent yet, but i've got those words down, but the software occasionally wont get what i say. Very annoying...

Mauricio tiene una excelente prononciacion. El habla suficiente despacio para bien asimilar las palabras y frases...Pero el acento de Amy es muy americana y marcada...Me imagino muy amigable, pero a la vez, tambien hay personas en su alrededor que hablan perfectamente su idioma.
En las lecciones 1,5 etc....hay varias faltas....ei Dr en soya ¿¿¿¿ Tambien en el sistema de audio, hay dificultades pues una vez que se registra el audio salen mal las frases siguientes...

The 3 rated review was not from the content in the program. I feel the lessons are terrific. However, I would like to see a company recommended approach to beginning study in the program. I began by doing the lessons one at a time. Is there a better way or are there some other alternative approaches. Would appreciate your assistance.
