Rocket Languages Reviews

Rocket Languages is a great website! Learning languages is one of my favorite things to do, and what better place than here. I love the different features this website offers, and how it tracks your progress as you embark on a new language. I am excited to immerse myself in cultures through Rocket Languages.

Great! It helps me learn Korean by giving examples of life conversations, also helps me understand little conversations or words in K-pop. Brilliant! No words to describe. It is actually better than duo lingo. I'd say!!!

I like this program a lot. I have it for two languages. It is good for learning grammar, both in sentence structure and formality levels.

The only thing i would like more is if you were taught more vocabulary right from the beginning because learning everything as part of a sentence can make it hard to separate words for me.

But i like that they have sections and tips and explanations to help you learn to speak the languages like a native. It let's you know why you say something a certain way and explains what each thing means literally while telling you why a native uses a particular phrase instead of how Google translate would put it literally.

I am so grateful to have come across this website. Even though I do not do the lessons on a regular basis I still have learned a lot thus far. I really enjoy the mic feature. My pronunciation is not the best so this feature really helps me with this. I also recommend this website to all my friends who are trying to learn a new language.

As a completely new person to Korean, this course is not what I should have chosen to begin with. To be able to feel like you "completed" the lesson, you have to write things in a language they have not taught you yet! The lessons are too long and having to learn the "extras" to feel like you completed the material they were focusing on is also frustrating. I have no incentive to move through the material, because I feel like I can't even perfect the first few lessons!
The voice detection sometimes is very poor, which means saying the same thing fifty times at lightning speed to get credit for it. I like other programs for learning Korean better than this one. I might come back to it after I have a better foundation.

The course is excellent and a great value! It is really helping me to learn Korean for an upcoming trip. I plan to purchase other Rocket Language courses in Germany, French, Russian, Spanish and Italian.

Overall, I understand the structure of the course, but it seems like many aspects, especially in testing, are done by a cookie-cutter algorithm which makes some really critical mistakes.

First, some technical issues. I use Chrome, as recommended, and there are a few things missing. Most notably, the on-screen Korean keyboard is not there. Also, I often do not have the button to mark a Writing lesson as completed. Finally, unlike in the app, there is no way for me to cut a voice recording off if I wish to restart, which often means waiting quite a while for the program to try to sort through gibberish.

Now, for the "cookie-cutter" aspect that bothers me. Frequently in the Audio lessons, the native speakers will say something that was not part of the lesson. This is fine, except that these phrases get put in the testing sections. For example, in the very first lesson there are introductions of the two native speakers. One says that he served in the Korean Marine Corps, then was discharged and migrated to the United States with his parents. He says this in Korean. This is a great way to get acquainted with the sound of the language. However, then this phrase comes up in the testing section of the exam.

I really enjoyed using rocket languages! It was fun and comprehensive especially because of the audio feature. In a span of just 2 days, i was able to speak in Korean in a conversational way! More Power! :D I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends.

I tried out Rosetta Stone for a few weeks to try and learn Korean, but I hated it. The learning format was so confusing. I had no idea what I was learning. I looked up more ways to learn Korean and I found Rocket Languages. It is 100 times better than Rosetta Stone and I actually understand what I'm learning. 10/10 would buy again.
