My fiance got this for me as an early valentines day/anniversary present. At first I was skeptical because I've tried learning Japanese so many ways for about 2 years now and I couldnt find anything that I could use on the go that would also let me practice vocally... More

So far I have thoroughly enjoyed rocket chinese. It has shown me that learning an entirely new language from scratch is possible in a very fun way, all you need is some dedication and practice. I already feel comfortable with my pronunciation due to the recording function rocket chinese has... More

While I am enjoying, and learning from Rocket language I have two major gripes. 1) Many of the conversations are between to native English speakers who do not pronounce like native Germans (Which is the goal of language learning) and the audio "lesson" can get rather tedious and forced sounding...

I am happy with the course and how it is presented. Impressed with the App. I invested nearly $450 with Pimsleur and it was not value for money. Am French born in Paris of British parents so bilingual at an early age, my wife is Italian so I also speak it... More

I'm really loving rocket languages, I've used it on and off for awhile and I'm determined to make it a part of my routine to learn Spanish and Japanese. I'm so glad that it's available through my local library, because it's free to use and it's super helpful. More

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... More

I love the dialogues. They help you develop your listening and speaking skills rocket fast. Unlike the Pilmsleur approach that I have also used, Rocket languages also has the reinforcement activities where you get additional listening, speaking and writing practice so you learn to spell correctly and pay attention to accent marks and special characters...

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... More

I really love how the explanations are in depth on grammar and vocabulary. It is a bit expensive, but I am satisfied with the experience so it was worth the price. I also like how you can practice conversation and perfect your accent via recording... More

As an English language instructor, I find the Rocket Korean course is pretty good but not perfect on its own. However, given the price tag, it's worth the shot. I would prefer that instead of text that the software be more interactive... More

I've only done the trial version but I decided not to buy it not because of the content; the material is quite good actually and, considering it's for life, the price is fair as well. But the activities cannot be done through mobile or app properly, the recording won't recognize what's said, the written activities never goes on to the next, the platform only works properly on desktop PC and the whole purpose is that you can learn anywhere, whenever...

For an independent visual learner, this is one of the greatest products in the language acquisition industry. In one month, Rocket Korean has improved my recognition of native speech and natural pronunciation to a point of satisfaction that I could not reach after three years of formal study in a language academy and travel in South Korea...

I started to learn Spanish at an Adult Community College and it was hard going because there were insufficient resources and I was hampered by the pace of other learners. I researched many online systems but settled for Rocket Languages for a few reasons: 1) It's good value for money and has received good reviews 2) All of the resources are downloadable for offline use 3) With a 60 day money back guarentee, how can you go wrong? Now I have some experience with the system I can say that the content is very good, everything so far seems to be explained accurately... More

I am enjoying the lessons so far but is a bit difficult to understand why the same word has different translations. Specifically "Hajime mashite". It is a bit off-putting. The rating on customer service can be ignored, I have not had the need to contact them... More

Rocket Hindi — United Kingdom

Rocket Hindi is my favourite language learning method after reading actual books, which give me much more in depth understanding of grammar. My fault with it is the use of the inherent vowel at the end of the English (romanised) tranliteration of words and where it’s not pronounced in the middle of some words... More

SO AWESOME!!! would ABSOLUTELY recommend to friends and family (and just about everyone)!! Is quite expensive (the owners are probably really stretching the price from what it needs to be) but honestly it's worth it!! FOR SURE would recomment- its worth the price because its like textbooks and training and homework and a teacher and a tutor all in one!!! Absolutely a must-have if you're starting a new language (or struggling with one you're trying to learn). More

I use this in conjunction with Babbel and find the two very complementary. Babbel is better with disciplining me to learn verb conjugations and tenses and Rocket Italian is great for driving improved hearing, reading and pronunciation. More

Good review of basics and builds on it for more advanced learning. Only been at it for a week, but excited to see what I will learn more. Some of the audio does not match with what I say. I double check with Google Translate and it doesn't not work( Première, Deuxième, Troisième, etc), However based on reviews that I read, it seems to have gotten better! More

Rocket misses the mark in many ways. Teaching phrases without a literal translation is not helpful. Ideally, one should know what each word in the sentence is, so that one can then compose one's own sentences... More
