Rocket Languages Reviews

I have been looking for a good Arabic learning program for a while. I have tried a few - none really worked. Then I found Rocket - and I must say it has been an overall good experience so far (I'm only three weeks into the program). The learning tools - flashcards, "hear it, say it", etc. are absolutely great and for that only, the whole program is worth it.
There are only two (minor) downsides to it, that perhaps Rocket could improve on:
1. While there's a very good structure to the overall program, I do feel like I could use some guidance as to how to progress (i.e. audio, then grammar, then writing, etc.). There is no such thing right now - or maybe I haven't found it, and some of the audio course refers to the grammar lesson that I haven't looked at yet.
2. A list of other useful resources could be interesting too. Pointing to websites or YouTube channels or what-not could be interesting to listen to more Arabic, too.

Overall a great experience so far, that I would recommend to anyone interested in learning a language.

This is terrific. I could say several Arabic phrases immediately. Great program. I know I will benefit and learn much from this program. I Love it! I think that by the time I have completed the entire Rocket Arabic Premium course I will be able to converse with friends and acquaintances that I meet in Egypt. :D

Rocket Languages are extremely easy to follow and understand. The best feature is the listen and record. This way you can record yourself speaking and compare it to the native speaker to make sure you are speaking correctly. My main concern is not speaking correctly and sounding or looking ignorant for not knowing.

I have to admit listening and practicing speaking Hindi on rocket languages has given me a fast way to learn very common phrases requires to get around using Hindi and even memorize individual worlds very quickly! I plan on learning Arabic on here now because of the success I've had with Hindi on here.

I have no plans to visit Egypt, but I want to read Naguib Mafouz's books without having to look up all the dialog, word by word, so I was interested in at least an introduction to Egyptian. The Rocket Arabic course offers far more than an introduction - there's a mass of the spoken language, if not much grammar, which seems pretty easy after some MSA. I skipped ahead from Module 1 to Module 4 (which has a lesson with Naguib Mafouz in the title) and decided to finally try out the Chrome version to see how it graded my pronunciation. The app graded my MSA at 100% (set on Hard), but routinely flunked my Egyptian (around 30%) - it wanted quhlumu ruhsuhsun, not alum whatever for pencil. So I'm going back to Firefox and not worrying about the pronunciation, beyond trying to mimic the native speaker as closely as possible. Once I finish Module 4 I'll go back to 2 and proceed in order from there (happily skipping the lessons on numbers, which are absolutely essential when you're in a country but take an inordinate amount of time if you really just want a reading knowledge of a language).

As far as recommending Rocket Arabic to a friend, it really depends on what they want it for.

The only thing I would like to add is a video of the people talking. Seeing how their mouths move and gestures would help a lot. Besides that- amazing course.

I love that you are able to speak through lessons. It feels like you have a great friend to practice with, except they are always there for practice!

Only wish is that the voice recorder would have a stop button because it doesn't seem to stop recording if fans are playing in the background or other white noise.

can u make the transcript movable it is so annoying. i need to go back to a sentence i wanna go quickly i do not have time and patience for that. also, honestly, english parts are too much. u should probably decrease it. this for m does not work well either. there are many thing to improve to be honest. i cannot even send a feedback well. what the heck. this is so annoying guys.

Putting it simply, this program is lit! I consider it as one of the best tools to learn a foreign language effectively. You will notice the progress in no time. On top of that, you will have a lot of fun! The audio sessions are spot-on, fun and entertaining! This great program will teach you how to speak the target language - and learning won't feel like an obligation at all.

Great structured course. Repetitive and so far good for complete beginners.
