Rocket Languages Reviews

The rocket languages packages are extremely useful in grasping the basic of any unfamiliar language. They can also help in pushing you to become a much more confident speaker. I like the ability to record your responses so you can listen back and correct pronunciation ensuring when it comes to speaking the language you pronounce words correctly.

Rocket Languages is engaging because of it's unique approach. It makes learning a language downright fun. Play it is my favorite feature of the course. The amount of content means you'll be busy for AWHILE, which indeed is a good thing. I have no regrets on this purchase. This is what Rosetta Stone and Instant Immersion should have been. Enough is said.

Last spring I took a Level 1 German course at a local community college. I purchased Rocket Languages- German to help me hold onto what I had learned and to extend my learning. It is fabulous! I especially like that I can record myself and then playback the tutor followed immediately by me. This particular feature is far more helpful than a classroom. I just finished my first series of lessons and have "rocketed" to the second series. Great job Rocket Languages!! This 60 year old learner is greatly impressed!

This is without a doubt the best language learning course I have ever taken. I have taken college classes and I have tried the well known courses that are always advertised, but they are more expensive and teach many things that will probably never be used. Rocket Spanish is well worth the cost and the dialogues are interesting and cultural. I am progressing well and I have learned so much so far. I look forward to each and every lesson. Going back and reviewing previous lessons as a refresher from time to time really helps to reenforce my learning experience. Having dialogues is so much more helpful than sitting in front of a textbook memorizing grammar and vocabulary. Rocket Spanish puts you in real world situations making the learning much more engaging and interesting. I would recommend this course to anyone who is serious about learning a new language. You will NOT be disappointed if you put in the effort. Thank you Rocket Spanish!

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.

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 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.

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.

It is challenging, but fun. The material is easy to learn and retain, and it also keep my interest. I love thew corrections by the native speakers and I also enjoy being able to offer my corrections to those learning English. I took advantage of a great sale to buy all three units and I'm glad I did!

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.

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.
