I have just finished my Free Trial. During this period, I also tried several other competitor free trials, and used all of the comparing the similarities and differences. *Rosetta Stone was easily dismissed as I did not think they did well with phrase translations, but only focused on the single word. * There were a couple others, that were just too expensive, so that was an easy "No".
I'm very pleased with my decision to learn Spanish, and Rocket Languages has been the best language learning software I've used so far (I've also used Rosetta Stone & Pimsleur). !
Hello. I was born in the United States so my first language is English. Currently I’m extremely fluent in Spanish and Italian. I’ll elaborate on that later. I retired in 2008. In December of 2009 it was decided to purchase Rocket Spanish for myself as a Christmas present. Only Premium, Premium Plus and Platinum were available at that time so all 3 levels were purchased. I had no prior language training during life and no experience talking to others in any language except English.
I'm impressed by Rocket Languages: I'm learning much more than I thought was possible online and having a good deal of fun. It's pedagogically-savvy (more so than other language-learning products) because it uses a variety of learning methods. I plan on using Rocket to learn my next language.
I love it! Makes learning a language fun and enjoyable. I was very hesitante to go with the program. But found it to be better than Rosetta stone and others out there. Not only are you able to learn new language, but you are able to pratice them in different ways. Each section has games, quizzes, spelling tests, speaking tests and more than enable you to learn the language. And you can do it at your own pace. Plus since you can get an online version it can be done from anywhere you can get internet!
Probably the best language tool I've come across. Actually love it more than Rosetta Stone and Duolingo. I will definitely be paying for the full product.
The 6 day free preview is a blast to field languages to see if they will work for you. I strongly recommend everyone consider the ASL which is not what I typically expect to find in language courses. Full immersion with video only. Great for hearing and hard of hearing who are lip readers.
Tempted to overload with multiple languages (looked at Korean. After one look I have a far better understanding of written Korean)
Absolutely worth it!
Brilliant! This course is so well designed that you simply cannot fail if you follow the steps. It has been the single greatest approach I've found for learning Spanish easily. Mauricio, Amy and Carmen are super helpful. It's been a good investment.
Being married to a German, and working for a German company, I have the pleasure of traveling to Germany for 2 weeks (or more) every year. For years, I tried to learn enough German to not embarrass myself while visiting.
After trying to teach myself with free online websites, I decided I wanted to learn bad enough to spend some money on a quality product, so I tried Rosetta Stone. Man, I kick myself every day for wasting my money on that crap.
Great interactive program .. already know a lot of Spanish, but always lacked to one-on-one conversation interaction when I am not in Latin America and need to practice. On occasion, the speaker is too fast it seems, but is only in a few instances. The writing of the words is also a great addition -- I have to text a lot in Spanish and have always been a little tentative about my spelling or having to go to Google Translate to make sure I had it right. With the Rocket Spanish program, it re-enforces my spelling, accents, and word order / tenses. Overall was just the program I needed. Overall A+
I just LOVE my Rocket French courses. I purchased the complete CD packages (Rocket French 1, 2, 3) and listen to them over and over in the car. This is a no- hassle, no-pressure, easy and relaxed way to learn another language. A great language learning system!
