Rocket Languages Reviews

I started about 4 days ago and have put in about 15-20 hours studying because it is so much fun. I have not felt bored or overwhelmed at all even when faced with the thousands of kanji to remember. I love the pace the audio lessons setup to begin with. Although, the third lesson in particular was tough to keep up with but it seems to just be an editing mistake not leaving enough time to repeat the phrases. I have had an amazing experience and have learned so much so far. I even found myself waking up this morning to repeating Japanese phrases as soon as I opened my eyes. It is very refreshing to enjoy learning something new after having been out of school for a few years. My goal with this knowledge is to supplement my chemistry degree and get into an international company working with Japanese businesses.

I am amazed at how quickly I am picking up this language and how much fun I am having doing it. I am also thankful that the other languages I want to learn are available as well! I also love the Customer Service department as they answered my questions quickly and thoroughly!
Thank you so much for such a great program!

I love it! Great way to practice and listen. Thank you!

I like the encouragement of the real-person tutor, and the badges and the check-ins with me. I am impressed by the voice-recognition software, and how you take roles in a conversation. Most of my school experience (Latin, French, Spanish, German) was with the Grammar Translation Method, and speaking has always been a stumbling block with me, although I love learning languages. This really makes it seem fun, and I already like learning languages, yet I've been pressed for time by work. This makes learning on my own stress-free. I especially love that writing, speaking, reading and listening are all incorporated!! I love that Rocket Language exists!!!

I like the pacing of the lessons, and the sound of the Paul & Marie's voice. The forum's are a great resource for supplemental ideas to enhance learning the language. The iphone app is very helpful, as I can listen to a lesson on my morning commute.

I moved to France without speaking a word of French and bought this program after reading some good reviews of it online. I've bought some other online resources but Rocket French is the only one I've ended up coming back to repeatedly for self-study. The dialogues are well done: I like the brief explanations of the vocab and the repetition is helpful without being tedious. I've actually been able to use the structures in real conversation here in France. The program has been improved a lot even since I bought it, and now you can practice what you learn in every possible format--- writing, reading, speaking, listening --- and the ability to download the audio is great if you want to listen to it in your car. Sometimes I listen to a dialogue several times before looking at the transcript and this helps me figure out how well my listening comprehension is coming along. I'm really happy with this program and recommend it to anyone looking for an entertaining way to learn French.

The training was simple and the layout was neat. Hand signs were clear and effective, a tip i would give is to make more available to those who may just want to learn more about the language or can not afford "premium" service.

This is really the best portuguese lesson out there, very simple and so easy to follow.......obrigado

Great start with introducing simple useful words and a variety of conversation. Molte bene.
Uno: Reasonable speed to start
Due: Followed by increasing speed to normal speaking dialogue.
Tre: Steps you through with increasing dialogue in a manner easy to follow.
Quattro: Provides pronunciation tips of vowels and double consonants.
Cinque: Keeps up motivation
Sei: Self test requiring typing in the words as heard with proper spelling reinforces auditory and visual learning.

I need to get the microphone connected, but I am sure this feature will also impress and be very helpful.

So far I like this program. The program is step by step with built in opportunities for review. One gets to hear the words, see the words, write the words and say the words. The have very good examples of how the words are to be pronounced. Overall, Rocket Italian is better than other language programs that I have tried in the past. I am using this before a trip to Italy. I will use it again in the future before I travel to countries where English is not the first language.
