Rocket Languages Reviews

I like the way the Spanish learning program is laid out, it makes, it easy to pronounce the Spanish words, but your study material is form for you remember the words. Good work!

I love that this has so many ways to learn the language! I absolutely love it!! The more I practice the words on here the more I lean Japanese!!!!

I’ve tried a few Italian courses in the past and this is by far the best. The varied learning methods add variety. The presenters are friendly and down to earth. The rules of language are explained without jargon. The cultural information is very interesting too.

This is the 3 Rocket Language course I have purchased.
Italian, German and now Spanish.
It is an amazing resource. I use other language courses, paid and free and nothing beats Rocket. Customer service is amazing and when I have a Language question, the tutors are amazing.
The 60% discount is amazing and that is when I buy.
My one wish is that "Play the Part was also developed for Italian and Spanish. Have not used Spanish Travelogue, but use Italian Travelogue. In the German course, they have play the part. Practical everyday life situations, so if it was added to the other Rocket courses wouln't hesitate to purchase that addition as well.

Excellent source for learning French. Recommend for all people who want to start

I love it. Its thorough and easy to identify weaknesses, continuing to motivate my progress
.

1. You could give more practice with the words, before passing to the flashcards.
2. More activities can be introduced, such as putting in the missing words in the sentences, and others like those. Currently, the major way of learding is merely the typical drills. It is too much technical, which is good if it is something additional, but without the greater variety of the excercized it is too inhuman, and somewhat boring. I am also comparing it with the Babbel, and they have some adaptions to the humans, when the dialog is going on, and one has to add the missing words. So, more humanlike activities would be useful.
Cannot say anything about the customer service, because did not use it yet.

Overall, I think the Rocket French folks have developed a pretty good system to learn French, so I won't go into detail about the things that I like. The big downside, however, is how their system tracks how far you've progressed in each module. For example, I just finished module 3.9, and the icons have changed from no color to the following colors and comments:

FLASHCARDS = ORANGE (GOOD)
HEAR-IT = ORANGE (GOOD)
WRITE-IT = ORANGE (GOOD)
KNOW-IT = ORANGE (GOOD)
QUIZ = GREEN (EASY)

That is not sufficient. What I want (and need) to know is how often I have reviewed each module and how I have done each time. So I have created an offline spreadsheet that shows the following for each section that I have studied. For example here is how I have tracked section 3.4 that I have reviewed several times and self-graded:

11/8/22 = D, 11/9/22 = C, 11/20/22 = C, 11/23/22 = B

You can see that first studied this module on 11/8/22, and then reviewed is subsequently three times, and my self-grade has improved from the initial D to a B. And, instead of a self-grade, I would much prefer to see the percentage of answers I got right.

Buggy on Ventura Safari, the most current MacOS and browser version.

Travelogue way too advanced and difficult to avoid.

Encountered user setup error that service and support quickly corrected.

So far greatly prefer Pimsleur and will likely invoke refund option.

Rocket Russian is an excellent resource and method of learning this beautiful language. I highly recommend it!
