Rocket Languages Reviews

it is a very nice app i would recommend it to any one who needs to improve

Rocket Languages really inspired that everyone can learn a different language always.

I think the course is very well structured and easy to follow. Speakers Nik and Paul are very nice. Recommended !

I couldn't use this software because it is boring and simple. it hurts to use it.

I started learning Japanese for a vacation I was going to take in Japan (That got canceled due to the outbreak), after having taken a year of Japanese in college about 15 years ago. The lessons are good and clear overall. Sometimes they do not give very good explanations of the grammar they introduce, for example using -you in one lesson and -sou in the same and never explaining the difference. The quizzes can also be frustrating, because sometimes a lesson teaches multiple very similar words, and the flash cards do not make it clear which reading they are looking for. It'd be more useful if the quizzes had different combinations of the vocabulary and grammar we learned in the lesson instead of just repeating the exact phrases. That way we'd be learning the concepts and not just memorizing phrases.

Overall though the lessons are very useful and very helpful for learning Japanese when you don't have much time to spend.

I am an ESL teacher and I purchased both French and Spanish for my homeschoolers. I am impressed with how much they have learned and retained. We have tried many other programs and apps, but none seemed to have all parts of language learning offered. Rocket Languages is easy to use and helps to train the ear to native speaking. I like that it also encompasses reading, writing, and some parts of grammar without being overdone with endless drills. The only thing I would change is through the use of pictures to reinforce vocabulary possibly in a vocabulary flashcard sort of way. Overall a great program!

I started Rocket Spanish Level 2 last week. So far I'm super impressed. This program is extremely well produced, easy to use, and very effective. I am building on the basic Spanish course I took at a local college, so I decided to begin with level 2. It’s so much better than any of the other online programs I've tried and previewed. And it’s an excellent value. I'm glad the program focuses on conversation, but also teaches important grammar rules and usage extremely well.

It's hard to accurately review Rocket Language Japanese, since the levels are so different in quality, but after 2+ years I believe that I can give you a very accurate impression of the first 2 levels, I hope, unless major changes has been made in 2019-2020 (I still haven't made it past level 2, and I haven't used the course since December 2019).

Level 1 is AMAZING! 5 stars! I couldn't recommend it more!
True story: after doing the first section, it helped me land a job in Japan!
I had to do an interview in Japanese via Skype (I needed conversational Japanese for the position), and several of the Q&A was straight of Rocket Languages Japanese Level 1!! I honestly felt that I only had basic Japanese, but the interviewer considered my level to be conversational Japanese and I landed the position!

Level 2 is such a disappointment! The conversations are wayyyy too fast compared to Level 1, and the target language is not anywhere near as useful for everyday living in Japan, I find. Keigo should be taught at a much later stage, and instead it would be much more useful to teach colloquial Japanese that you can actually use with your friends! When you use the masu form that is mainly used in the course, your friends will say: "Yeah...

I'm having a blast with this program. I love the variety of ways that they reinforce the lesson through reading, writing, listening and speaking exercises, and I'm so glad that they added the hot keys that make it go so much faster. I've worked a few different programs for French, and this is by far my favorite!

I have a Macbook pro OS Catalina 10.15.4, Firefox, AND NO I do NOT want to use Chrome, Level 1, Rocket Languages Lesson 5.9, Activity:Hear it - Say it = while clicking on the "Play" button I cannot hear what I am supposed to record. Even after recording something I cannot hear what I recorded. While at the same time the activity "Flash Cards" as well as the activity "Write It" and the activity "Know It" is working perfectly fine. Therefore it can only be a bug in your software at this point in the activity "Hear It - Say It”. After trying Chrome it did not work either.

There are obviously ongoing problems with the audio since 2019 as seen on other comments (now while I was doing the certification in Module 5) ) and no one seems to be able or willing to take car of these issues. I am extremely disappointed.
