Rocket Languages Reviews

Excellent product.
The voice recognition feature is not functioning well sometimes
Thank you!

Rocket Languages is the best language program that I have ever used. It isn't like other programs that drill your brain with constant vocabulary words and phrases that you would never use in real life. It actually gives you useful information, practical information that will allow you to survive and also eventually become fluent in whatever language you're studying.

Great and very good software platform to learn French from scratch.

I would appreciate a lot if you could record videos to explain grammar and languages rules by your teachers. It would also be fantastic to have videos instead of just audio files about conversations.

At last, I would appreciate a clearer path to know exactly what to do each day ("way of fools"...).

With that you would have 5 stars without hesitate. The best software platform I've seen to learn a language.

Keep on going guys!!!

I didn't like the program. It's mostly translating into English. I spent more time listening to the dialogue in English than Italian. Even the Italian girl speaks more English than Italian. A waste of time and money

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.

After only three weeks studying with Rocket Languages I had my first trip to Spain. I was amazed just how much I had picked up in that time, certainly in the amount that I could read and words I could pick out of conversations I heard from people around me or from watching the TV.

There was definitely a pronunciation problem which I think is mostly me and some coming from the fact that the locals (in Granada) pronounced some words differently from the audio in the lessons. However, starting a conversation with a local in their own tongue always goes a long way rather than blurting out in English. Now I can't wait to learn some more and my next trip back to Spain.

I enjoy learning via a real life conversation and the exercises are great . Highly recommended for those who want to jump on in.

Starting to learn Spanish at 67 years old is probably not the best time but so far so good.
I can't fault the teaching method or the software and I even enjoy even the frustrating time when my mind goes blank.

Overall, I have really enjoyed Rocket French so far! I like the combination of conversation pieces, vocabulary, and grammar lessons, instead of just all vocabulary and grammar, like when I learned in school. I absolutely love the reinforcements, as this really helps me in knowing what is actually sinking in and what I need to review again in more detail. What would be even better is a reinforcements section at the end of each module, for both the conversation lessons and for the language and culture lessons.

The auditory portion is great for me because this is what I struggle with the most, understanding spoken French and pronunciation. Unfortunately, the voice recognition can be hit and miss, especially for the one syllable words and sounds. I usually just skip over if after a few times it does not recognize what I am trying to say, knowing that I was pronouncing it pretty closely to the example.

If you take the time to really learn from this program, practice and repeat lessons, and not just rush through to finish, I highly recommend this program. Use all the components provided - there are so many ways that this program allows you to learn and practice. My vocab is a particular favorite extra I use.

I have been working with the free trial for over a month, and even using it every day, there was a lot of free material given to really get a "feel" for the course. I have fallen in love with it, and just purchased the Premium Package today. For me, speaking and understanding are my weakest points, and in my opinion, this is where Rocket Language outshines every other program. Those "live" role-playing exercises are intense, and really give me a rush when I can successfully get through even the level one part of the conversation.
My only issue is having to use Chrome, I was on Chrome when I tried to purchase the package, and it kept screwing up my information, I finally had to go over to Safari and purchase it there, then go through switching the program to Chrome - it was irritating.
However, that is a minor complaint concerning the purchase and log-in process and has nothing to do with the amazing content Rocket has to offer.
Also, I have to add, while I was having hassles with the login, I called customer support and they are absolutely amazing! No robots, I got to a real person right away who fixed the issue immediately, was nice and funny and very friendly.
