I've purchased Rocket German Levels 1 and 2 (and previously trialed Rocket French) and it's been great so far. It's much more practical for someone planning to travel to another country, especially when compared to other language learning programs like DuoLingo... More

My family and I are currently in Mexico and are working on learning Spanish. Since this program starts with useful phrases, like how to ask for help or how to order coffee, it has been much more helpful than something like the popular owl-themed language app... More

I would like to see information on Korean numbers, both native Korean and sino-Korean, and when it is proper to use each one. I've lived in the ROK twice and always used native Korean numbers for everything... More

I like the fact that there are native speakers who take time to go through the language for easier understanding and comprehension. The lessons so far are quite generous in the amount of time given and allow you to replay and download if you need to do that. More

I speak for Rocket Japanese: Price is fair, if you buy on sale. Still not cheap, but fair. I have learned a lot from Rocket Japanese. I mainly use the audio lessons. They are awesome. They are kept fun, but still are very challenging... More

I really enjoy the dialogue in the beginning and the review helps a lot! The activity I feel helps me is getting involved with the dialogue and I can hear myself talk with the partner. I wish Rocket Language had a study guide or book to go along when I go out so I can review while traveling when there is no internet... More

This app is just plain amazing. I teaches you step by step. I use this app to learn Korean and I've used many other apps besides this but they didn't really last. But this has me logging in and out. I really recommend this! Since I already have a second language, I wanted to learn this language for a while but when I imagine having to go through the process of learning a new language all over again, my motivation just disappeared...

Great program to get started if you do not know Japanese at all. Good for beginner to intermediate. I haven't utilized the site long enough to see all the resources it has, but i do think it is convenient that it has an app that operates the same way as the site on a PC. More

This is my first time using the computer exclusively to attempt to learn Spanish, or study any subject, really. So far, I find it very satisfactory. I'm having a little difficulty with the Spanish keyboard is there not an "inverted" ? Moderators note: If you are using the keyboard on Write it! just click the "Shift" button and ¿ will be at top right of the keyboard... More

This course is excellent for blending vocabulary, grammar and phraseology all together and learning them by practical, applied techniques as you progress along. This is a very applied course where you learn by German used in real life situations, rather than just by the learning of vocabulary and some how bolting it together by grammar... More

Unlike Rosetta stone this teaches you things you can actually use and provides actual instruction. There is a good mixture of interactive audio lessons, activities, flash cards, review and more. It's nice to hear a native speaker and a non native (American) one too... More

I've been using Rocket Spanish for several years now and if I was able to stick to it, I would be fluent by now as it is a very good program. My problem with sticking with it isn't a problem with Rocket Spanish, but my problem of not setting aside enough time to do it... More

The program is well done - small chunks and plenty of practice. The voice recognition is generally decent, but can be inaccurate sometimes. Be sure that you are pronouncing at a normal pace and extra clearly and extra loudly... More

I've just started with Rocket French, so it's a bit early to say but so far the site is easy to use and I enjoy having the very specific structure with timings for each lesson. I'm dyslexic, so have some difficulty processing what I've heard which effects my recall, so the learning is very slow... More

I've tried rosetta stone, duolingo, memrise, etc, and none have even come close to the comprehensive experience rocket languages has provided me with. It blows my mind that I leave the audio lessons with a sense of confidence that I accurately remembered everyword that Kenny and Sayaka had us repeat... More

The program--either on desktop or tablet, often does not record my voice, and thus does not record portions of lessons. This is not getting better. Until Rocked Languages can improve its server, I'd advise avoiding the program. More
