Rocket Languages Reviews

I started with Berlitz but I was unable to manage the technology. This is easier for me.

Microphone does not pick up short words, so it is impossible to check pronunciation on basic language units. Especially debilitating for Chinese learners where tonal pronunciation is crucial.

There is very little teaching. Provided flash card sets dumping 30 new terms with no organization, no intuitive backbone reflective of that of the language itself makes me question the expertise of the instructors. This weakness is also reflected in sloppy errors: voice lines which don't match the text underneath, an occasional condescending tone to the learner, and statements that words completely new to the learner were already covered in previous lessons when they were not.

This software would be acceptable if it was free, but given the high price, it's quality does not justify a purchase.

This is the first time I have tried to learn a language since high school 40 years ago. I am having so much fun, and it's easier than I thought it would be to learn a new language in my 50s. I look forward to 30 min with Rocket Japanese everyday and I feel that I would like to take Sayaka and Kenny out to a sushi restaurant to celebrate the joy that this course is giving me. Sugoi !!

This course is first rate, first class "stuff". Easy to use, easy to navigate through the lessons, and Rocket French really does the job. It's worth every single centime.

Since I originally purchased Rocket German there has been two revisions. I'm glad to see that the program gets updated. I like the current format. With the previous update I noticed a significant improvement in the voice recognition. With the latest version, I think that some of that recognition is not quite as good. At midday it seems that the voice recognition has a difficult time. I'm sure that the voice recognition is very difficult to accomplish. (fyi. I use headphones with a mic and no background noise). Over the past few years, I've taken in-class and online German classes and used a couple of apps, but come back to Rocket German as my preference (although teacher instructed course covered sentence structure and verb conjugation).

tried to connect with customer service,.. no after hours help, I guess. hope I can get the deal.

After some frustration with the iOS app (iPad), I tried Rocket Italian in a laptop browser. Much better experience, but I find the iPad more convenient to use. The best part? Rocket continues to fix the little nits I complain about and my iPad e pertinence is getting better.
Rocket has been batting 1000 replying to complaints and questions. I am much more confident in an app supported by a company willing to respond.

Helps me get more comfortable with speaking French which is something I need to work on. There are many language app that drills in vocab till your bored but Rocket is the first one where it records our speech and has a play back feature that helps you correct your pitch accent.

poor voice recognition , sometime need to repeat many time that still can't recognize

Great! I loved the activities to do and it's helping me with my grades too! :)
