Rocket Languages Reviews

I have used several online apps for learning French. Each has its drawbacks and some of these are significant (for example, the platforms which allow anyone to "correct" other learners' exercises or give opinions as to what is "correct").


I bought the full French Rocket package a few years ago and didn't really use it. I found the Americanism - especially the mixture of American and French in the dialogues - intensely irritating. I was using material which was wholly in French, so Rocket's approach seemed like taking several steps back. Rocket still has some work to do on the written parts of the course, but it remains significantly better than the other offerings I have used.


Meanwhile, my comprehension improved greatly but I realised my grasp of conjugation was poor. I came back to Rocket with the intention of practising tenses, voices and moods. Rocket has been great for that and for me (who loves books and has a number of French grammar exercise books) better than books.


I would recommend Rocket especially to those who work well with a traditional approach to grammar.

I am more than satisfied with my Rocket Arabic. After Arabic I am very likely to buy another language and I would happily recommend Rocket Languages to others. Perhaps you could let me know what the current prices of your courses are!!!!
ma es salama

poco a poco voy adactando mi lenguaje espero mucho mas a medida que pase mi tiempo

It's fun and it's amazing now i can learn japanese

I really like the friendly and natural tone of the interactive audio lessons, and how new vocabulary and grammar are introduced.

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).
