Rocket Languages Reviews

I have recommended Rocket Languages to all my friends and family. I am having an awesome time learning French at my own pace. The point system is cool and motivational. I cannot wait to finish the premium version to move onto to premium plus section. After that, it will be Spanish then Italian and MORE. I will continue to use the program FOR LIFE, and I know it's features will only improve over time. I love Paul and Claire, they're exceptional tutors.

My favorite section is WRITE IT, I seem to do the best in this section. The Hear it, Say it, Write it and Know it sections are awesome and reinforces what and how you learn. I wish that the software was able to grade you itself based on your pronunciations, just as it does in the write section. I also admire the MY TOOLBOX section. My vocab section is amazing and limits the amount of note taking I need to do in my personal notebook. The Advanced Learning Techniques section is a MUST READ, very helpful tips.

I wish the PHRASE FINDER was actually a French-English translation dictionary, as opposed to only being able to search words that are contained within the lessons. Dictionary feature would be an awesome addition.

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 love the lessons in this website also you learn fast and easy. then they also have good pacing skills.

I'm just finishing the Rocket German Premium (Level 1) course and have found it to be tremendously helpful, and the most motivating foreign language course I've taken.

The most powerful thing about the Rocket German Interactive Audio Courses is that the course focuses on a conversation based narrative and sentences rather than focusing on memorizing words and grammar rules. After three years of High School German, when I went to Germany I found i was unable to construct or even understand sentences in real time and felt hopelessly stupid.

Maybe it is also a critical mass of all the previous study, I've been doing over the last eight months but in the past 26 days of Level 1 Premium sentence work, I seem to have learned enough about the structure of simple sentences that I can understand them and even put together all the conjugations and declensions, dative, and accusative case endings in real time which seems to be producing a positive feedback loop to create a lot of motivation. So I've been able to study at a fairly intensive rate. For example I've eared 82,17 points and nearly finished level 1 in the last 25 days.

I have tried many language courses through out the years and have finally found one that gets me sitting down in front of my computer every night because I know I've got a test to take every Sunday night. The badge/ribbon award that flashes up on the screen gives me a little boost.

This program has been amazing! I purchased it about three years ago and I can now easily have conversations in Spanish. I am told very often that I have very good Spanish by fluent speakers. I focused for a solid year and listened and studied to the material for about 3-4 hours a day. Spanish is not easy, but you can't give up or you will forget everything that you learned.

I started the program when my daughter was 8 months old because I wanted us both to learn Spanish. Once I started the program, I started only speaking to her in Spanish and I continue to ONLY speak to her in Spanish every day. Now my daughter is 3 1/2 years old and she can speak and understand Spanish perfectly. Without Rocket Spanish, we would've never learned how to speak Spanish which would've created a major language barrier between my daughter and her grandparents (my in-laws) because they do not know English. Now we are both able to communicate with our entire family, and now I am just perfecting my accent. Fortunately, my husband speaks fluent Spanish, but he couldn't teach me because I needed to understand the rules behind the language which he does not know. Rocket Spanish's grammar lessons were perfect and enabled me to understand the logic behind many of the common language errors (i.e, when to use the subjective tense).

I am constantly telling people about Rocket Spanish and I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn a language!!

I have used a number of other language courses ( paid and free) and find Rocket languages the best, for a number of reasons:
There is a comprehensive set of different reinforcement tools to suit a person's learning style. I prefer the flip cards but the others are also beneficial.
I appreciate that the audio lessons are separate from the culture/grammar lessons, so that one can easily dip in and out of the grammar as one wishes.
The ease of going back to earlier lessons to reinforce previous work if it is getting rusty!
The length of each lesson and the reinforcements are a sensible length - not too short but not too long to be daunting.
Oh - and the once off cost is much better than paying a regular fee!

I started Rocket Spanish Level 2 last week. So far I'm super impressed. This program is extremely well produced, easy to use, and very effective. I am building on the basic Spanish course I took at a local college, so I decided to begin with level 2. It’s so much better than any of the other online programs I've tried and previewed. And it’s an excellent value. I'm glad the program focuses on conversation, but also teaches important grammar rules and usage extremely well.

In the first lesson, the voice recognition doesn't work. From 53 words, for 1 word gave the feedback.

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.
