Rocket Languages review criteria
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.
I started learning Egyptian Arabic with a teacher, however only learning from a teacher does not satisfy me, I had to do more! My problem was, I could not find an application that could help me with Egyptian especially, all of them were for Modern Standard Arabic. Thanks to Rocket Languages I am able to enjoy the experience.
I love the whole package. You can use it in the way that suits you best. I decided to speak first and read and write later. Now I can speak I find it easier to learn the reading and writing. It's totally amazing and exciting for me to be on my way to achieving my goal with the aid of rocket arabic, spotify and Michel Thomas method combined.
I highly recommend this package which is extremely good value and I love the rating you get from recording your speaking which helps you to become an authentic speaker.
Repetition is easy the way the lessons are organised and you can keep repeating lessons to really understand and remember.
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.
Hi, Mauricio
It Usman your long time student.
I am really impressed by the method of teaching and training your clients .
I wish I could have the opportunity to benefit more free lessons as I am not financially buoyant.
I also pray that someday I could benefit from this method of training and learn many languages.
I wish to ask or request if I can get some free lessons on Swahili language ?
I will also like that someday I meet and know the rocket language group God willing.

Hi Noor Osmani - I am glad you are enjoying Rocket Languages. Unfortunately, we don't have any plans for a Swahili course!
Ahlan beekum, hello everyone. Rocket Arabic is a pretty great tool, gets you stuck right into learning all the relevant phrases straight away so you can begin communicating as soon as you feel comfortable. Would recommend to anyone willing to learn quickly and effectively.
Unfortunately, this software does not allow me to become fluent, as this only makes you an "intermediate" speaker with a premium level of 1 compared to others who have 3. The software for Arabic really needs some more information on writing the language, as it is by far the hardest lessons to learn. I have studied it for hours and still, I do not understand one bit the Arabic alphabet and how to write in Arabic. Other than that this is this software is above average that allows you to learn at your own pace. I also enjoy that I can use this software forever for only %150.
I completed Pimsleur Egyptian Arabic Level 1 and attempted some Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) for 2 weeks before going back to focusing on a dialect since nobody speaks MSA. This course is great but to get the most out of it, you have to focus on writing & reading everything (no shortcuts) in Arabic Script as many times as necessary until you don't have to rely on the latin (Franco-Arabic Script). Only then, can you move on to reading Arabic (Egyptian) Press, Books, Graded Readers, song lyrics etc... This program will get you to a solid intermediate!
I have been studying Rocket Egyptian Arabic since early April and it is the highlight of my day. I have tried several courses over the years and this one seems to be working for me. I work on the computer for about half an hour most days and I have downloaded the conversation to my MP3 player and listen to two or three lessons while I am out running in the morning. I have never had an ability to learn languages in the past and have been struggling with Arabic on and off for a number of years but I am determined to stay with this programme and I am hopeful I will be able to master a reasonable level of communication by the time I get to the end of the course. I'm loving it!!
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.
