Rocket Languages Reviews

Purchased Rocket Italian Lv1 as a hobby in 2014. I really liked it back then. Since I was not serious about learning and would give up, then get back into it with a different program or book.

Now I am serious about learning Italian and took another look at RI. Turns out this was the best tool for me. Purchased all levels and TL. Appreciate how after all this time RL keeps updating their course. The play it section is Badazz.

Well done Rocket Language. Looking forward to spending a lot of time with your course.

i like this site is very useful and good and help me to learn english too much so i'm thankful to you

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ERICA RAY FROM HER UTUBE VIDEO. I HEAR ABOUT THIS ROCKET CHINESE. SO FAR SO GOOD. 謝謝大家

A great learning experience, I love that Rocket caters to many different types of learners and helps to reinforce language in creative ways.

I definitely loved it even I just try it for a while. However, the price is so HIGH and EXPENSIVE for a student like me.

The method of teaching is good. Exercise to repeat the same words or sentence following the native speaker is an excellent idea. And the French native instructor has very clear sound and voice.
Merci!

Very poor experience regarding the numerous simple spelling mistakes and inconsistent and sometimes just plain wrong translations. I expected much more from a paid for language learning tool.

I think the Rocket format is a solid tool for learning - especially for beginners. Each lesson is a conversation between two people that you study and use to learn vocabulary and grammar. I always enjoyed that the format gave me little "stories" I could grab on to as memory aids. It really gave me a great start.

As my enthusiasm waned, as it always will when learning something new and moving past the beginner phase, I found that the rocket format started to bog me down a little. Some lessons would have over 60 phrases to practice and memorize. I'd get bogged down trying to get through the homework. I felt my learning speed was slowing down as I entered Level 2 of the course, and I began to turn to other tools like "Spanish Dict (spanishdict.com)" to augment the material and speed me up.

I think the course could be improved drastically in three ways.

1) Shorten Lessons. People like to move through lessons quickly. It produces a sense of accomplishment. This means, reducing the number of phrases to be mastered in each lesson.

2) Enhance Memorization Tools. There are well known systems for reviewing words and the idea of building a deck of flashcards you can continuously review is missing from the toolkit of Rocket Spanish.

Excellent so far -- love all the options to practice, including speaking and writing.

It's great to be able to hear French speakers speaking normally and then be able to copy and respond. Really helps get your ear in, and practice speaking fluently, and with the correct rhythm - which is so French. Super!
