Rocket Languages Reviews

The French works perfectly, the German for some reason can't access the microphone, I started using Rocket Languages when it was an audio only course, so I don't mind the tech problem. I replay my old discs mixed with music just so I get review now and then.

Highly recommend this course. For someone whose brain is all over the place, the well thought-through structure has helped me progress quickly! The interactive lessons are not boring and I really appreciate that it focuses on pronunciation, the written word and hearing to comprehend French! merveilleux!

It really helped me learn Portuguese.
I can go to Brazil now.
I can talk to my Aunt now

I took Spanish growing up but never applied myself the way that I should have. I started taking Rocket Spanish to teach myself what I have forgotten and eventually become fluent. Everyday I do 1 hour's worth of course work and 30 minutes of review and I have a blast doing so.

I love this course and have recommended it to my friends. I can't wait to continue my progress and maybe take on a third language!

for practice sessions to improve one's ability to translate, I suggest showing the English first visibly separated from the German.

i love the speak and repeat mix with textbook that bought on amazon
perfect

Overall, I think that it a very good course for learning a language at your own pace. The instructors are easy to understand, and the lessons are laid out in a logical manner. I have only gotten as far as lesson 7, but I can tell that the material is extensive. The only complaint that I have is that many points of grammar are not explained at all, I realize that many students of language don't like getting bogged down in a lot of grammar, but the lack of any explanation at all can lead the student to make false assumptions. As I said, I have only just begun the course, so I can only give you a couple of examples. These are cases where I was forced to google my question concerning some very basic material. For instance, the student is never given an explanation about the word "lo" and it's usage. Because of how it was introduced in the lesson, I made the erroneous assumption that "lo" and "yo" both meant "I" and were interchangeable. The instructor said that "lo siento" meant "I am sorry", never explaining that "lo" meant "it", with the actual translation being "I regret IT". Early on in the course, we were told that "tu" means "your, as in "tu madre".

I'm so happy with this course so far! I love learning languages and this interactive course makes it so, SO easy! I'll most likely purchase another language course very soon. Merci beaucoup, Rocket French!

I like the variety of lessons. All of the lessons involving spoken Spanish are helping me with my biggest weakness, which is understanding Spanish when it is spoken.
I do have one major complaint, and that is that more effort should be put into giving a more accurate and useful English interpretation. The addition of an exact literal translation would both provide lessons in the word order of Spanish, and also help with learning new Spanish words. All too often I am wondering if this word that I have been introduced to before has a new meaning, or does it just look that way due to the interpretation being based on what a sentence means, and not on what it actually says. (e.g.: "me gusta" means "I like", but it literally says "me it pleases")
