Rocket Languages Reviews

I love this site!! I'm currently learning Korean, and it's really helping me!! I just started using the site, and I've already learned so much!! It's awesome!! I totally recommend this! It's even great for beginners!!

I researched several programs before deciding on Rocket Japanese. After only a week I can have basic conversations and understand bits of conversations. I'm very excited to see where I am in a month. So far this has been a great experience and has really helped my understanding of the language.

2 months' before a 2 week trip to Italy - time to work on language skills. Rocket came recommended on some web sites, so I tried the free offer and then plunked down the money after working the free lesson. Try it, you'll like it!

I like the ability to go back to any lesson and review. The speech recognition (using Chrome browser and a microphone) is awesome.

I would highly recommend these lessons. It is nice to be able to work at your own pace. The lessons are very easy to learn.

I previously purchased Rocket Italian and learned quite a bit in preparation for travel. I'm now onto Rocket German as a refresher: many years ago, I learned German. In my experience, using Rocket as a refresher course has been particularly effective. Sometimes the pacing of the lessons can be a bit overwhelming (especially around verbs). For instance, in the Italian course, occasionally, a huge amount of information would be dumped on the learner, and it became a matter of learning by rote. Overall, however, I think Rocket Languages are a very satisfying way to learn languages and feel more a part of the rest of the world. I think the pricing is more than reasonable.

Hello i have known english all my life and have not been opportuned to learn other foreign tongue, but right now i have started using Rocket Languages for french education and its been awesome. Thanks

Rocket languages is great. I am now studying Japanese with this course. The content is awesome and it is all relevant and practical material. It isnt random vocabulary that I would never use, for that reason i think it is great. It provides many exercises to drill your learning and commit the language to memory.

I love how the lessons are all grouped in their respective categories together, but if I could offer a recommendation, it would be to have a comprehensive learning path that bridges the categories together. Right now the lessons are in an order that starts with all the Audio Lessons, then into lessons that are reading based, then lessons that are cultural based. These are all grouped together. I feel having them combined in a way that would spread them out so that you dont have to be stuck without audio lessons or cultural explanations for things for a long period of time because you have to go through all the modules in that section. I hope this makes sense. Of course this may just be a preference of mine, but could be a great addition to the course. :)

I like the fact that there are native speakers who take time to go through the language for easier understanding and comprehension. The lessons so far are quite generous in the amount of time given and allow you to replay and download if you need to do that.

My fiance got this for me as an early valentines day/anniversary present. At first I was skeptical because I've tried learning Japanese so many ways for about 2 years now and I couldnt find anything that I could use on the go that would also let me practice vocally. I even took a college class that was tough, mostly just writing, and hard for my busy schedule.

At first I didnt realize all the lessons had writing and speaking and then I started playing with the app more and I noticed all the awesome features it comes with, including almost 400 hours of lesson time in the 3 levels! I have the app on my phone and I use it during breaks at work and durring my long commutes.

The only complaint I have is that the voice recognition has trouble when I'm driving on the highway and other times it stops before I'm done speaking. Otherwise Rocket Japanese has been perfect for my lifestyle this far!

Da jia hao!
I decided to learn the Chinese language because I've always found it quite interesting and most of the population here speak this language. I did not regret getting the full version of Rocket Chinese because of the extensive content that it has. Since I've started learning Mandarin here, I have noticed improvements in my conversational skills, writing skills, and, from there, I also have manged to recognise some Chinese characters bit by bit as I complete more lessons.

However, I think the structure of the lessons can be better if they had followed the structure of the HSK standards. Although I find the content really good so far, some words that has been taught previously appears again in the "Extra Vocabulary" section, which I think can be replaced with other relevant words like the lesson "Going shopping" did not even mention the word "shangdian" which means "store" as in stores in a shopping centre or even appears on the extra vocab section. Also, the Chinese locals here speak differently and use different words (although the same meaning) in their daily conversation, like we use Huayu (chinese language) instead of Hanyu.

In conclusion, I think Rocket Chinese is good for learning but it requires constant improvements to fill up the gaps that were probably overlooked.
