I like that along with learning to speak and listen to the language, you get to also learn it's alphabet and proper spelling of the words you are learning.

Thanks so much for your feedback! We’re glad you're enjoying the balance between speaking, listening, and learning the Cyrillic writing system. Wishing you continued success in your studies, John!
I've taken both Busuu and Rocket Russian. I feel that I'm making more progress with the Rocket program. I'm being pushed to read it, listen to it, speak it and write it. Busuu didn't push me as hard, however it did let me interact with native speakers in Russia and the other former Soviet states, who corrected my lessons. I could have gone as far as I wanted once in contact with those speakers. However, without the grammatical structure in place, I found it very hard to try speaking or writing it. But I'd have to say that the immediate feedback on my pronunciation in Rocket is something immensely valuable and I love being pushed to write it as well. With so many ways to review and refine, it really cements the language into my 67 year old brain, which already has mastered Spanish, achieved a working knowledge of French and German, and now, the piece de resistance, Russian. Luvin' it.
Really good course, I'm studying Russian where the grammar aspect is crucial given the case declension of words, so the only feature that is missing is grammar, maybe this intentional, but I think it would help to have grammar chapters based on the existing lessons.

Thanks so much for your review. Please note that every Module of Rocket Russian includes both our Interactive Audio lessons, as well as our Language and Culture (grammar) lessons. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any trouble locating these lessons. All the best with your language learning!
Great course, thank you. It would be better to have a table of comparison with Babbel (German company). They appear you to the same level but you are better.
So far this has been a great course. I have really enjoyed it. I start out with Rocket Russian first thing every morning and then use my other language courses to build on what I have learned. I've been using it to prepare for an upcoming trip to Russia.
I would like to say that Rocket Languages is awesome because makes me feel comfortable about learning a difficult language such as Russian. I feel like I have had a immersion in the Russian words and culture, seeming to me as if I were living there...
I became gratefully surprised about the Rocket. They overcame my expectations in the best way!!
I have been searching for a long time for a Russian course that is appropriate for beginners and Rocket Russian offers everything I hoped for and even more: it is not only well structured and very easy to use but it offers a more practical approach to language learning than most language school and this helps you to reach conversational fluency in a relatively short period of time. It is also fun to use since you are collecting points while learning and you are competing with other students. This feature makes it addictive and it is a good source of motivation.
I didn't know Rocket Russian before and i'm very satisfied with the course. It's structure is excellent which makes it easier to learn. You can go back whenever you need and repeat some exercises just to crystallize your learning. Thank you

I am only at Module 1 - 3.4, and just happy with my present results.
Really "tongue's on" learning. I love Russian and could not learn it without a speaker. This solves the problem. The pronounce and playback option is endless fun for me since I like to hone my pronunciation of Russian. It's VERY different from English pronunciation. I'm finding new rooms in my speech range.
