Rocket Languages Reviews

Love it!! Especially you can you practice on your own.

I am really enjoying my course, for me level one is very good revision, as one can forget the basics very easily.
Thank you Rocket Languages

I am still using the program, like in the first module. If it allows me to re-review the program, I'll give a fuller update later. So far, I am happy with the program. As I am doing all of it (I have seen people buy things and try to get away with as little as possible still...), it is forcing me into uncomfortable ground while still making it achievable. My goal and plan is to try and be conversational in the next three to six months.

All the stars seem warranted to me, except the customer service. I haven't needed to use it... Which I guess would be pre-emptive service..? So I guess it is actually warranted.

First of all, In the middle of exercises (as I'm trying to speak a German phrase) I get annoying popup windows asking me to write a review of Rocket German. I think that's pretty indicative of how much Rocket cares about me actually learning, an how much it just wants more business. In fact, just above this box where I'm typing, Rocket has a link to some "example reviews" which are glowing reports of how when you buy RG, all your wildest fantasies will come true. Since RG insists, though, here is my review...***

Right after I paid $250 dollars for the three German courses (the first of which I didn't even want, but you have no option to remove it from the bundle) I get directed to another page telling me I should really also buy another add-on course that normally costs $50, but they're going to give it to me for $30. Classic used-car salesman tactic. I decline. I'm directed to another page saying "Ok, we'll give it to you for $20, but only if you buy it right now. No kidding, this is your last chance!" Does it get any more sleazy than that?***

The German course was clearly written by native German speakers, which is good, but not really checked by a native English speaker for the quality of the English dialogue.

Rocket Languages is a very helpful site, and my Korean is so much better. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a new language.

This is a great way to learn a language. I can practice in the comfort of my own home, at my own pace. I like the fact that I can practice all aspects of the language--even typing it!

I really like the interactive nature of the course. It provides very practical exercises and examples that will help me as I learn how to have conversations with others in French. Would highly recommend it to beginner to intermediate students.

I am going to Florence for my 60th birthday in the fall. I bought Rocket so I could at least know a little Italian. It is hard and I am learning!

I'm very satisfied with my purchase of Rocket Japanese, especially with the voice recognition so that pronunciation can be practiced. The one glaring downside seems to be the ghost-town of a forum. Sometimes I'll post a question or feedback and not receive a reply for days, and so it's not as user friendly as the forums on Duolingo or WaniKani. Perhaps more staff/tutors could be hired to at least make sure every new thread gets a response? Overall I would still recommend Rocket Japanese, especially with the 60% discount codes (which make the price "just right" IMHO). Cheers!

Way too much English spoken in the course. My experience of learning a language is that total immersion is the fastest way to learn.

In this course the constant interruption with English is very distracting.,
