Rocket Languages Reviews

Rocket French is an excellent product. My greatest struggle (to date) is understanding spoken French. Rocket French does a much better job with this than other platforms. I also really like the lifetime ownership.

Something to improve is the voice recognition. It doesn't work all that well, and is often frustrating. Other than that, great product.

I want to be able to move on from hear it, write it etc with all keyboard commands. I don't want to use the mouse as it interrupts flow.

After much debate, I finally decided to try Rocket Spanish…and I LOVE IT! Having tried Rosetta Stone, Duolingo, Babbel, and Pimsleur, I was very skeptical that Rocket would simply be more of the same… and another failed attempt to learn Spanish. The other programs were ok, but were focused strictly on associative learning and teaching canned phrases and vocabulary without any context about how to apply or use those phrases or vocabulary. The lessons were simply not relevant to my daily needs.

To the contrary, Rocket started providing useful, real-world phrases, vocabulary, and context that I readily recognized from my previous interactions with native speakers! It has been relevant and useful from the very first lesson!! The lessons are straight-forward, easy to follow, and provide explanations about how and when to use the new info you’re learning. Although a little longer and time-consuming than the other programs, Rocket lessons provide more information and are still fairly fast-paced. They also require you to learn and apply the information to different situations beyond the scenario in the lesson so you are gaining a contextual understanding.

Its a really good app to learn different words from other places

It's my first day to learn Spanish and I have to say, I like this Rocket Spanish.

A fantastic way to learn languages intuitively. It is easy to stay motivated as you quickly learn new vocabulary and find yourself able to communicate. Love it, thank you Rocket Languages.

I really like that it incorporates speaking into a microphone.

The lessons are thoroughly enjoyable and have captured my attention. I look forward to each lesson and the progress that it brings.

Being able to engage in any kind of dialogue while learning a language is crucial to establishing a sense of comfort with using the words in context and conversation for the future. Pronunciation being checked for accuracy through my mic is a big deal when wanting to use a language outside of casual engagements and I love that Rocket provides a service to hear my attempts at words and catch whether I'm saying things correctly or using the correct words at all. Flashcards are my favorite study tool and having options to customize what info appears on them is a nice benefit. The price is a little steep without a promo code, which is a bit prohibitive for some of my peers, and though understandable, it would be nice to see rarer languages featured like Hawaiian, Navajo, or Gaelic. Great product overall though and I can already tell I'm learning better with it than I did with the 'owl app'.

Its great but very hard. the course materials are informative. the lacking lement is my time! i'm trying to devote some time every day and have post it notes on my wall to remind me! thankyou for your support. Zai jian
