I completed all French lessons from the most popular online language learning course. When I finished, I couldn't carry on a conversation. I chatted with another student online who had taken the same classes, and he told me not to become discouraged. He went through the lessons three times before he became comfortable. That shouldn't be necessary. I decided to try Rocket French instead. In a few days, I was able to start speaking simple and useful sentences! This may be a matter of learning style; different people learn differently, but there is no question that Rocket French is better for me. The other learning program is total immersion with no explanations in English. Simple things like "de le" is "du" is something I had to figure out, whereas Rocket French explains that and it's so much easier. There is so much conversational practice in French that I don't feel that I'm missing out by reading explanations in English. I leave for Paris in a few weeks, and I already know so much more than I did a week ago! Today I will complete Module 1 and over the weekend I hope to finish Module 2. Making such quick progress has made me obsessed! By the time I go, I expect to be comfortable ordering food in a restaurant, shopping, and meeting new people in French! Of course I can't become proficient in such a short time, but French people I've spoken with are very patient when we try to learn. Merci beaucoup Rocket French!

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.

Great program! Easy to use on a laptop and mobile devise! Learn a language on the go then come home and hammer it down with the additional exercises . The customer service is prompt with fixing any bugs and they genuinely care about your success with their program. I highly recommend this product!

This is a great product at a great price. I am impressed with the layout of the dashboard and the voice recognition. It has exceeded all my expectations.

I like the unlimited access online and I can practice anywhere, anytime.

Rocket Arabic

The Arabic course is unique in that it teaches colloquial Arabic which is more likely to be understood by the average person. I personally am using it to increase my vocabulary to supplement my MBA and classical Arabic usage. So overall the course is great and would be 5 star if the mobile app worked regularly. If they can fix that and keep it working regularly I will gladly update my review.

I am loving my Rocket Italian course. The audio is fantastic! It is really helping to train my ear to the Italian language, and the conversations are interesting and engaging. It hits all my learning styles, and the repetition is very good for me. I like it better than Rosetta Stone or any other courses I have ever tried. I am excited to visit Italy in October of 2020 and try out what I have learned.

In high school I took Japanese, in college Russian and Chinese, but that was a long time ago. I needed a refresher. I tried other companies' courses, but especially for Mandarin, Rocket is by far the best. Its competitors either go too fast, go too slow, or are simply inadequate. Rocket courses have just the right balance between depth and ease of learning. They also provide plenty of extra learning tools that I'm still exploring, such as flash cards.

After buying the Mandarin course and working with it for a couple of days, I was so impressed that I bought both the Japanese and Russian courses to do after my Mandarin review.

I gave four instead of five stars to "buy again" only because Rocket doesn't currently offer anything else I need. If the company added levels to Russian and Chinese, or offered a Modern Hebrew course, I'd buy those.

Thank you rocket French! My husband Charles bought me my rocket French course and it has been a great learning experience. We travelled through New Brunswick, Quebec City and Montreal. I was proud to be able to read signs, directions, and engage in simple conversations.

It took me a long time to get going due to a hectic schedule. Really like the package, and the considerable thought put behind understanding the students' mind. The audio quality is excellent, the language script in devanagari is well done. Nice package.

I find the course very well constructed. However, the silly small talk in the interactive lessons are annoying. I fast forward past the music and small talk about things that have nothing to do with the lesson to get to the real content and it is irritating to the focussed student.
