Rocket Languages Reviews

Just finished the first module. Tremendous fun so far. It starts very gently, not at all daunting, and has plenty of repetition and reinforcement. The structure of the lessons allows for the same material to be rehearsed in many different forms — imitating speech, initiating speech, writing, identifying speech — without getting bored. The narrative framework of Alessandro the novice and Maria the native speaker is actually quite entertaining.

I love the dialogues. They help you develop your listening and speaking skills rocket fast. Unlike the Pilmsleur approach that I have also used, Rocket languages also has the reinforcement activities where you get additional listening, speaking and writing practice so you learn to spell correctly and pay attention to accent marks and special characters.
I am giving it a 4 out of 5 because in my opinion the price is pretty steep (I can get the Pilmsleur CDs for Portuguese level 1 for $34 in ebay) and I feel for that price it should also include some grammar videos with activities and reading comprehension to make it more well rounded.

I'm pleased with Rocket German. The program has worked well on my iMac, provided I use the Chrome browser. Lessons are well sorgfanized, and if you keep at it day and are using the grammar as well as interactive lessons your fluency and reading will improve. I'm doubtful that writing will make similar progress as the structure is not a good, at leas so far, for teaching students to write German well, though students do get plenty of practice transcribing what they hear. I would not hesitate to recommend it to somebody wishing to learn to read and speak better German. I find it does help to make a point to watch movies and TV programs in German.

Rocket languages has been a great start in learning a new language. The audio is clear and comprehensive, you are able to learn at your own pace; I can log off and come back a week later if I wanted to. I am currently doing the rocket Russian course and am becoming more confident with the language as I progress- (Russian is a very hard language to learn). Would definitely recommend!

Its nice to learn more about japanese language, but in my situation its very hard to know writing in japanese but im so thankful because of i have to learn so I study it very well and it really helps to know alot of words in japanese,thank you rocketlanguage.

I had study italian many years ago. I was quite fluent but since I forgot most of it. I like the spead they have during the first lesson. I feel I will be at last able to learn properly Dante's language.

I really love how the explanations are in depth on grammar and vocabulary. It is a bit expensive, but I am satisfied with the experience so it was worth the price. I also like how you can practice conversation and perfect your accent via recording. Overall I am happy and satisfied, I only wish writing practice/lessons were included in each lesson.

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.

When I first began studying the Japanese language, I didn't know anything or how to read or write.
Thanks to great teachers Sayaka san and Kenny San, I learned how to construct an effective way to listen and talk and enjoy learning the Japanese language. In my learning, I aim to evoke the same excitement of discovery and achievement that I felt, I hope to get your video learning lesson soon. You deserve 5 stars for sure.

I have only been using the program for a short time but so far I love it. Compared to other popular language programs I have used, Rocket is the best. The only thing I would like to see added that this program lacks is, reading material. Most of the other programs provide short stories that progress with you as you learn.
