Rocket Languages Reviews

I've been using Rocket Italian since about March 2019 and I purchased the program because I am required to pass a language exam. I purchased all 3 levels and if you are someone traveling to Italy or learning basic conversational skills this program is great. However, if you have more intermediate needs this program is just ok. It would be nice if there were more breakdowns of the conversations once you get more advanced and provide simple words or phrases to translate. While building skills, the program will ask you to learn the verb to have and memorize extremely long sentences in the same lesson. This happens most lessons and is ineffective for my learning because it doesn't help you practice the skill and learn competency but memorization.

One of the tenses used most often in my work is the historic past and this tense is the one with the least information and preparation. Beyond that, what I've noticed is that the program pushes you to learn specific meanings of words. For example, in one lesson that began with the word "well" I responded with a translation of dunque. The program marked me wrong and was looking for allora. Both are acceptable translations and I am likely to come across both.

I've only been using Rocket Korean for about a week but I can already see (or hear) so much progress. I am learning because I love Korean media and to surprise a friend of my mine eventually. I definitely recommend this product.

I like that this app teaches you how to speak the language and breaks down the pronunciation, a lot of other apps just stick to learning the alphabet and single words. I feel I am getting somewhere in learning Korean with this app.

I tried other apps with little success. Rocket Language is a different story. I'm learning German more quickly and comprehensively. There is a perfect blend of hearing, speaking, and writing. My goal is to be conversational during my trip to Austria in the summer. We shall see!

I am a linguist, a teacher of foreign languages and a native speaker of Spanish. This platform is a good resource to add to one's learning tools and it is a very good way to keep the language alive. I was skeptical at first of this electronic platform, but then I became almost addict to it. It works if you put your heart and soul in acquiring your target language. Well done!

I am so happy with this product! I've learned so much over the course of several months. It is well worth the price, especially if you can get it on sale. Customer service deserves much love as well! Both times I've contacted them and they were able to fulfill my requests no questions asked. Thank you, Rocket Language!

I had been using another online Italian course for about 6 months without being able to converse confidently with my Italian family even though I had learnt 1000 words. I then started looking online at alternative recommended courses and was introduced to Rocket Italian and began their free trial. It was just what I was after and I had little hesitation in signing up for all 3 levels, especially given the very attractive discount pricing. I am now 3 weeks into the course and thoroughly enjoying it! My Italian family have noticed the difference as well.

I am just staring this class but it is wonderful.

This place is OK but not as good as duolingo. I can not do any of the lessons as i am not a "full member". This is not for me thanks.

I really enjoy just plunging right into conversational Arabic and leaving the grammar till later. It seems more like the way children learn their own language. I like the way the speakers are energetic and optimistic!
I strongly agree with another reviewer who asked that there be a bar on the side of the page that refers to previous vocabulary - so we don't have to scroll up-up-up to find the words we're looking for. You mentioned that you will be adding this feature soon, but his question was about Rocket Spanish. Will my course (Rocket Arabic) be getting this feature also?
I have one more request. Is there some way to help us learn how to say the handful of "confused for each other" sets of letters in the Arabic alphabet? Like a video or a medical-type cartoon showing the position of the tongue etc when pronouncing these letters? The letters whose sounds don't appear in English are very frustrating. Just listening to them over and over is not helping me say them correctly. Kind of discouraging!
Overall I'm really enjoying the course though. Definitely the best approach to language I've ever experienced!
