As a completely new person to Korean, this course is not what I should have chosen to begin with. To be able to feel like you "completed" the lesson, you have to write things in a language they have not taught you yet! The lessons are too long and having to learn the "extras" to feel like you completed the material they were focusing on is also frustrating. I have no incentive to move through the material, because I feel like I can't even perfect the first few lessons!
The voice detection sometimes is very poor, which means saying the same thing fifty times at lightning speed to get credit for it. I like other programs for learning Korean better than this one. I might come back to it after I have a better foundation.

Response from Rocket Languages

The Write it! tests can (and probably should) be left until you are more comfortable doing them. In saying that we will look at how these Tests work for beginners. With regards voice detection, the best results are achieved with a headset mic, or using one of the apps.

I am so grateful to have come across this website. Even though I do not do the lessons on a regular basis I still have learned a lot thus far. I really enjoy the mic feature. My pronunciation is not the best so this feature really helps me with this. I also recommend this website to all my friends who are trying to learn a new language.

I have 3 previous French courses (Premium, Premium Plus, and Platinum). I have been extremely satisfied with them; I listen to the audio lessons all of the time to increase my comprehension of spoken French. I purchased the Travelogue package and have been very disappointed that the audio is in English. Without being able to listen to the entire lesson in French, it completely takes away the audio experience and turns it into just a series of exercises to be completed. Is there any way to change the audio portion into French, instead of the woman reading the lesson in English?

Response from Rocket Languages

A French narrative will be in the Rocket French Travelogue series by the end of the year! (Update 2018: The Rocket French Travelogues now have the full script available in French as well as English, and French and English audio versions that you can use much like the Interactive Audio course tracks)

I read several language course reviews before choosing the Rocket program to learn to speak German. I made the right choice! I have used the Paul Noble cd's in the past and loved them as an intro to German, but they were not enough. I also tried the Pimsleur method for a couple of lessons, but I really did not like it. Too repetitive and boring. But this Rocket program is a great blend of the conversational explanations I liked about the Paul Noble cds, the ability to listen in my car to the audio conversations, and that added element of using my laptop to learn the grammar and writing that I really need to round out my skills. I love to be able to hear the sounds, practice speaking, and then see the correct spelling of the words. Seeing the spelling really helps me correct my pronunciation and start seeing patterns in the language. I consider myself a visual learner, so seeing the written word is within my comfort zone of learning style. However, I really need to be able to train my ear and practice all the new sounds that come with a new language. This program offers a great mix of teaching and evaluation methods.

A good product to get started with the basic conversation.
Every sentence is broken into pieces and every word is explained in great detail.
As long as someone wants to start conversing then its good but if the emphasis is on taking exams such as JLPT then it may not be very useful as its purpose is different.

At the moment, unfortunately I did not have the chance to practice my French, but I am sure it will be great support...No doubt about it...Italian will positively be handy . Both will contribute a lot to my achievements and personal satisfaction as well. Sources that I made use of them, were quite practical from the life outside itself..Listening versions that were accessible were fantastic.....I have alreadty reccommended all the respective pages to my relatives and friends without no hesitataions.... Hope it will create the same responses as well. Thanks once more to all...

I was looking around the internet where I can learn Chinese, I saw a lot of sites and tried most of their free trial including Rocket Languages. For most of the other sites, I didn't survive using their free trial for even a day, but for Rocket Languages, I survived up to the end of the free trial and now I'm about to buy my own subscription. I liked how Rocket Languages teaches people like Chinese. I hope that in a few months I'll be able to talk with some of my Chinese friends.

This is really a helpful tool to learn a new language. Especially for Korean where it is not a romance language and I have to learn a new alphabet. I love that they split up the letters into different topics so that it would be easier to learn and that they gave a small description of why that letter it and how it is supposed to be said as well as having audio and small quizzes at the end. Overall this is really helpful for anyone wanting to learn a new language.

I had tried Rosetta Stone for learning Arabic..I found it very difficult to grasp. With Rocket I began immediately to understand what was being taught and putting it into practice immediately. Native Arab speaking friends of mine understood what I was saying and even praised me on how well I am doing.
