I like the pacing of the lessons, and the sound of the Paul & Marie's voice. The forum's are a great resource for supplemental ideas to enhance learning the language. The iphone app is very helpful, as I can listen to a lesson on my morning commute.
I bought all 3 levels and just finished Level one. This is my first review and I'm glad I waited until completing the first level because many of the areas that I thought were lacking have been addressed. I am very happy that so much info has been added in the language classes. Of course, the conversations are good, especially to practice listening, but without the language lessons all you are doing is memorizing phrases, which isn't all that useful in real life. I do the language lessons with a pen and legal pad at my side to take notes and write down important rules and vocabulary to review later. Before I move on to level 2 I intend to go back and repeat many of the individual language lessons. It was tempting to just run through the course and finish all the work as quickly as I could get the answers right, but, of course, a lot more effort in really studying and understanding the material presented is needed. Expect to spend several hours to even several days on each module reviewing new info, grammar and vocabulary if you really want to become conversant.
I am very happy with Rocket Spanish. I find it easy to use. The lessons are thorough and you can repeat them as often as you want. The only difficulty that I have had is with the software's ability to understand when I speak very short words, like "no". Even though it cannot understand me, I can still use the playback feature to assess what I sound like so it has not been a very big issue for me. There is a lot to do within Rocket Spanish and it is accessible anytime. You can ignore it for a year and then get right back it to it! I've also used Rosetta Stone and find Rocket Spanish to be much more suited to the way that I learn.
I absolutely adore Rocket Languages! I can't believe how much I'm learning and how good I feel about it. I've tried many language learning programs before (including the much-touted Rosseta Stone) and there is definitely no comparison. The key to Rocket Languages' superiority are the audio lessons with the hosts. They "get" how adults learn and take the time to stop and tell you the grammar. The humor is appreciated as well. I really feel like I have a shot at improving my Italian in time for my trip next April. I can also hardly wait to finish the Italian course so I can then purchase the French course. I highly recommend Rocket Languages.
Rocket Languages is engaging because of it's unique approach. It makes learning a language downright fun. Play it is my favorite feature of the course. The amount of content means you'll be busy for AWHILE, which indeed is a good thing. I have no regrets on this purchase. This is what Rosetta Stone and Instant Immersion should have been. Enough is said.
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 am having trouble getting the accent right. This is impeding my progress. I need to re-watch, read and listen many times and still my accent is terrible. This is a lot more work than I expected, but I will plug onward.
I look forward to using Rocket Spanish every day. And now with the iPhone app, I can listen to the audio while I'm driving to work, and then study on the computer later. I am traveling to Spain in May, and can't wait to practice everything that I have learned so far!
I am a brand new devotee to the Rocket family and have just started making my way through the beginner Italian course. Thus far I am finding the lessons extremely helpful and easy to navigate, and I'm confident that this degree of teaching will be evident throughout the full course . The platform setup is very well thought out and the learning aids are very impressive as are the 2 hosts, Maria and Alex. I look forward to continuing and completing the course and will continue to refer to the modules in order to refresh and retain my learning. This is definitely the best online learning experience I have witnessed, so well done Rocket.
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.
