Rocket Languages Reviews

I like the way the lessons are made. There is a lot to learn. Thanks.

Nice beginning; not too hard, not too easy. Only finished introductory module.

I have a little time to learn a new language. Generally, anyone have some obstacles to learn it like: pronunciation, mixture of the other language in the study of vocabulary..etc. But with Rocket Spanish program, I will be confident in learning Spanish because there is a part of tutor section to teach on the pronunciation practically and a part of culture to be easily applied as I communicate with the native speakers.

why are there at least 60 vocab words for every single lesson. how am I supposed to do this

Overall, I'm very satisfied with the product and approach so far, particularly coming from 7 months of Duolingo. It is a significant upgrade in experience over Duolingo. It has the right balance of drill and practice and grammar fundamentals, in the context of a conversation-driven learning style. It seems natural and well thought out. I truly appreciate that I can skip what I want in deference to things I already know. I know I will soon get to things I will not be able to skim or skip and I look forward to that. The "say it" element of the structure is excellent. It is forcing me to speak, which is exactly what Duolingo does not do well. I have lots of words and lots of conjugations, but on the spot I am like a deer in the headlights, and Rocket's style forces you to just "talk", mistakes and all, which is great. The speed and clarity of the voice actors is excellent and it makes listening easy and approachable. The rolling text approach on screen is great, as I can look at the scroll when I want to and look away (to test myself better) when I don't want to.

A couple of constructive things to say.

Excellent lessons and drills to make sure you hear, pronounce, and write the language correctly. I like how you learn through phrases, not just verb conjugations. Good info about culture makes it more interesting. Although this costs way more than Duolingo (which is free), the price is a bargain for the easy-to-navigate and well-structured interface. The only negative is one night I had trouble with the website; it was showing primitive html (yes, I had the most recent Chrome browser). Customer service responded to my email for help five days later. By then, the issue had resolved. But my streak and ranking suffered.

- dialogue very clear
- good variety of topics in lessons
- maybe a touch over priced
- lesson review sections do not always save for me at the first time of trying
- cultural elements very interesting

I Appreciate the desire to keep updating and adding to the service

Really enjoying the course so far. Pricing is a little vague.

What a GREAT app! I so glad I found it I really enjoying it. The flash cards and speak-it are very useful

I am finding this program very enjoyable and I am progressing at a rate I am happy with. Sometimes I only do part of a lesson at a sitting and them come back to complete it, sometimes later in the same day. This gives me a chance to digest what I am learning and I am more confident in doing the various exercises. This is especially so in the lessons that emphasize grammar. Also I find that I have to be very careful to get the accent on the right syllable for the voice recognition to understand me. That is a good thing as it forces me to pay attention.
