Rocket Languages review criteria
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.
I studied Spanish in high school and again in college many years ago. In my 30+ years of working in New York City I was surrounded by Spanish - either being spoken by people on the street or written in signs on the subway so that I was able to maintain a minimum level of proficiency with the language. I wanted to become more proficient for several reasons. I do volunteer work that occasionally means I am dealing with Spanish-speaking people. i have also traveled to Mexico several times and would have loved to have been able to converse with locals there in their native language. I have just begun using Rocket Spanish but I am impressed with the courses and especially with the ability to access the training anytime and anywhere via computer or cellphone. I look forward to advancing in Spanish and perhaps Portugese as well someday.
This really is a useful tool to learn Hindi. I am very happy with the method of teaching and I have learnt quite bit of Hindi in a short time. I will not hesitate to recommend Rocket Hindi to my friends.
When I was using Rosetta Stone, whenever I opened it (and I could always find access) it opened to wherever I had left off. That would all be very helpful for Rocket language to offer and it doesn't, or I don't know how to find it. Perhaps I could get some help.
Response from Rocket Languages
Rocket does do that. You just have to earn some points on a lesson for it to be remembered!
The overriding problem with Rocket Languages is the faulty audio system. I own a MacBook Air 2013 computer for which the audio is excellent for all programs except this one.
Leaderboard and badges contribute to a more positive learning experience.
Your program coordinates well with Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur. Each of the three offers something special.
Rosetta Stone covers grammar in an incremental, methodical manner - offering extremely valuable practice
exercises on a whole host of subject matter and syntactical patterns. Rocket Language is a good follow-on to
Rosetta Stone and Pimsluer and offers effective reinforcement of both types of learning. For some languages,
Rocket Language sentences are overly complex if introduced too soon. They are challenging to master.
Even though I have just started the Rocket Spanish course I can already say that it goes beyond many other Spanish training classes/software I have taken before. I have tried the other major products (Rosetta Stone, Pimsleur, CD's and books (yes, I have been trying on and off for 20 years), DuoLingo) and Rocket Spanish takes the best from each. I like how it explains the reasoning of why the grammar is the way it is (DuoLingo doesn't do that) and gives you practice in listening, reading, and speaking. That last one is the one I need to do more of... speaking. Once I get deeper into the courses I will write another review, but so far it is much more than I expected.
I decided to buy Rocket Language Russian because I have always been fascinated by this language. Every day , I walk my dog for 1h and listen to an Audio Lesson. I practice Russian of course BUT also English since the comments are in English ( I'm French ).
To be honest, I was skeptical but after only one month I honestly can say I made real progress, it's not boring at all, it's easy and each day I feel like having Russian friends talking to me. I'm training my memory and after a few months, I will add this skill to my resume!
The combination of the online tools and the ability to listen to the lessons whilst doing other things provides a really powerful learning combination. I particularly value the ability to watch and listen to my own attempts and compare them with a good French speaker!
The perfect package that helps you to read, write, understand and speak Portuguese step by step. As it is on internet, you can learn with your own pace and as per your free time. This concept is fantastic.
I like the encouragement of the real-person tutor, and the badges and the check-ins with me. I am impressed by the voice-recognition software, and how you take roles in a conversation. Most of my school experience (Latin, French, Spanish, German) was with the Grammar Translation Method, and speaking has always been a stumbling block with me, although I love learning languages. This really makes it seem fun, and I already like learning languages, yet I've been pressed for time by work. This makes learning on my own stress-free. I especially love that writing, speaking, reading and listening are all incorporated!! I love that Rocket Language exists!!!
