Rocket Languages review criteria
While I just started, It is definitely one of the better programs I have used. I love how the program is structured to gradually let you get more and more comfortable with the language and doesn't simply leave you in the dust. Overall enjoyable.
Amazing, but the understanding my speech could do some work. Sometimes I'll say it the same and get a low grade, but after multiple attempts after I'll get the 100%. And short words aren't understood at all by the computer at times.
I purchased Rocket Korean in August of 2016, yet I have just now begun exploring just how many things it can do! I absolutely love it and get online everyday. I have a 2 hour minimum study goal per day, and with Rocket Languages, it is SO easy to accomplish that! The two hours fly right by!
One thing I don't like is how in the Interactive Audio Lessons, there are TONS of extremely long phrases I've already found just in Module 1. I haven't even bothered studying them because it's 1) irrelevant to me and my study goals, and 2) it's simply too hard for a beginner to learn without knowing the bits and pieces that make up the phrases. In other words, I'd like either the long sentences to go away, be able to select which vocabulary I want to study, or the teacher to break it down to every word in the sentence.
All in all, my Rocket Languages experience has been awesome. As a 15 year old, it's hard to find language learning material I can afford and also be extremely useful and worth the money. And now I know by the amount of Korean knowledge I already have is that Rocket Languages definitely meets my strict criteria as a teenage language learner!
Rocket Languages is a website that has filled my want list!!! Since the year of 2016 I've been looking for sites that would help me learn Korean but none did. I am thankful and so excited to learn. Now I will be able to visit Korea and won't have a difficult time trying to understand what people say. Thanks!
It would be nice to separate the Hangul from the romanized version in order to better understand the writing system; however, my experience so far is satisfactory. It would also be a lot better to have a built in Hangul keyboard for the writing portion, I had to use another website for this purpose. Even with these issues, I quite enjoy Rocket Languages and will continue to use it for my Korean studies.
Response from Rocket Languages
I will add these suggestions to the product development wishlist! Thanks.
I wish every lesson was interactive and I could learn to to pronounce big words and phrases slowly. This way I would be able to speak with a more clear pronunciation. I would feel more confident and excited about studying.
I like this program a lot. I have it for two languages. It is good for learning grammar, both in sentence structure and formality levels.
The only thing i would like more is if you were taught more vocabulary right from the beginning because learning everything as part of a sentence can make it hard to separate words for me.
But i like that they have sections and tips and explanations to help you learn to speak the languages like a native. It let's you know why you say something a certain way and explains what each thing means literally while telling you why a native uses a particular phrase instead of how Google translate would put it literally.
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. Through the use of visuals such as pictures and videos it allows students to learn more intuitively and recall prior knowledge on the spot. Text support, while necessary to a degree, can become a crutch that visual learners like myself can overly rely on causing less temporal tension and thus leading us to less overall retention. However, of course, this course is good for the price and I have been using it in coordination with a few other applications online. Therefore, I suggest using this in conjunction with other programs as well as considering language exchange to get much needed practice in real time.
I just started to use this website and I'm starting to learn and understand the words better. I think if you need to learn a new languages you should use this website...
tbh I tried a lot of things to learn Korean and wow rocket language is all I wanted the way it explains and reviews every single concept is amazing!!! I mean I totally recommend this ^^
