Rocket Languages Reviews

I was so impressed by your course that I wrote a review after working with it for a day or so and gave you four stars. After working with it extensively for over two weeks I am now even more impressed and would like to give you five stars on every aspect. The only word for Rocket German is brilliant. You understand that when the average person says that they want to "learn" a language, they really mean that they want to understand people speaking that language in basic everyday situations and in turn be able to be understood themselves when speaking. Your material is first class for that and the ability to practise phrases over and over again comparing your own voice to a native speaker is undoubtedly the best aspect of your course. For most of us, what we hear in our head when trying to speak another language can be quite different to what sometimes comes out of our mouths. Your course gives us the chance to "hear ourselves as others hear us". When trying to speak another language, confidence is paramount. Your course delivers in spades the ability to speak confidently in everyday situations using basic vocab. My advice to anyone looking at German language courses is this - if you want to speak basic German confidently, do yourselves a favour and invest in Rocket German. You won't regret it and the course is worth every cent of the purchase price.

Wonderful teaching system so far! Much better than other methods I've tried.

This is a great product. I didn't use it for months and months and didn't expire, I just went in where I left off. It has a really good self testing facility. All the important phrases are covered right from the beginning. Writing is also covered right from the beginning which I believe is really important and not available in lots of other learning packages. I have learnt heaps in no time flat and despite being rather lazy.

I read several language course reviews before choosing the Rocket program to learn to speak German. I made the right choice! I have used the Paul Noble cd's in the past and loved them as an intro to German, but they were not enough. I also tried the Pimsleur method for a couple of lessons, but I really did not like it. Too repetitive and boring. But this Rocket program is a great blend of the conversational explanations I liked about the Paul Noble cds, the ability to listen in my car to the audio conversations, and that added element of using my laptop to learn the grammar and writing that I really need to round out my skills. I love to be able to hear the sounds, practice speaking, and then see the correct spelling of the words. Seeing the spelling really helps me correct my pronunciation and start seeing patterns in the language. I consider myself a visual learner, so seeing the written word is within my comfort zone of learning style. However, I really need to be able to train my ear and practice all the new sounds that come with a new language. This program offers a great mix of teaching and evaluation methods.

I bought all 3 levels and just finished Level one. This is my first review and I'm glad I waited until completing the first level because many of the areas that I thought were lacking have been addressed. I am very happy that so much info has been added in the language classes. Of course, the conversations are good, especially to practice listening, but without the language lessons all you are doing is memorizing phrases, which isn't all that useful in real life. I do the language lessons with a pen and legal pad at my side to take notes and write down important rules and vocabulary to review later. Before I move on to level 2 I intend to go back and repeat many of the individual language lessons. It was tempting to just run through the course and finish all the work as quickly as I could get the answers right, but, of course, a lot more effort in really studying and understanding the material presented is needed. Expect to spend several hours to even several days on each module reviewing new info, grammar and vocabulary if you really want to become conversant.

I really enjoy studying with Rocket Arabic. It is a pleasant and practical course which makes you work without causing stress and frustration. I started some years ago but then left it and managed to forget a lot... but recently I have begun anew as I felt it was a great shame just to abandon it all and not to take the opportunity to learn this charming language. Rocket Arabic kept sending me the Rocket Fuel and this also helped to spur me up again. However, after I'd gone through the whole course for the first time, I happened to go to Egypt and had a wonderful time trying to practice. My colleagues there were quite excited about it and therefore also very helpful. There is a lesson about hiring a taxi - and it literally happened! It was ever so funny: whatever the taxi driver said to me was as if taken from the "book", so I simply replied with the answers I had learned in the course! "Akid", it was very satisfactory and gratifying.

I have used other language learning software products in the past, but was a deception. I decided to try Rocket Language because I wanted to learn somethings Language's, because i want travel around the world, is a good form to learn. A friends recommend me this page and i hope the best.

This is how I would love to have been taught French while at school! Although I have continued to study French on and off over the years using books and different online courses, and can just about survive when travelling in France, my main difficulty has been in understanding what is being said to me (I can read French a bit) and suffering from 'brain freeze' whenever asked a question! Rocket French has been a dream come true for me - I decided to start from the very beginning rather than go in at a higher level and I've not only understood some rules for the first time, but it's really helped reinforce what I knew but had forgotten over time! The course is entertaining and engaging, never boring, and is the only online course I've discovered where the level of engagement is so high. You also get the feeling that you really are learning French the way modern day French people speak. There are other online courses which are cheaper, but for the progress I've already made in just a few weeks, Rocket is extremely good value for money. I would really recommend this course to anyone, regardless of the level they are presently at. I wished I'd discovered Rocket earlier!

Rocket Languages is a wonderful tool for everyone who wants to expand their vocabulary in other languages. I personally have been taking Spanish and like my life motto, "I regret nothing." I would recommend Rocket Languages to anyone who needs to learn a different language for school or for pleasure.

Much better than Rosetta Stone. The practice things on-line really make me feel like I know the material. Downloading the lessons and listening to them (and talking back) works great in the car. You need to repeat them until they make sense. I paid the cheep price so I don't have written materials with the course, but it's not holding me back at all. I just had to google the things they say are part of the written materials, like the alphabet.
