Rocket Languages Reviews

i love the lessons in this website also you learn fast and easy. then they also have good pacing skills.

My review is of Rocket Languages Sign Language. Someone who is just beginning to learn sign language has no hope of following your lessons because you sign too fast. Much too fast!

It's okay to have a fast version, as long as a slow version is included. Someone who is just beginning to learn ASL can't follow when your hands move that fast.

You need to fix this.

I have just started using Rocket French after completing the entire Rosetta Stone software. I can tell Rocket French is already more effective and the structure improves the ability to retain key parts of the language.

I have used a number of other language courses ( paid and free) and find Rocket languages the best, for a number of reasons:
There is a comprehensive set of different reinforcement tools to suit a person's learning style. I prefer the flip cards but the others are also beneficial.
I appreciate that the audio lessons are separate from the culture/grammar lessons, so that one can easily dip in and out of the grammar as one wishes.
The ease of going back to earlier lessons to reinforce previous work if it is getting rusty!
The length of each lesson and the reinforcements are a sensible length - not too short but not too long to be daunting.
Oh - and the once off cost is much better than paying a regular fee!

German Level 1 was great - detailed and thorough, moving at a good pace. I have just started Level 2, and it is a different thing entirely, and unfortunately not at all good. It seems to have been botched together from a previous, separate attempt at a course (the numbered Audio lessons are completely different in the lesson plan and in the audio track), and it doesn't follow on from Level 1 in any meaningful way (there’s repetition of stuff we've already covered).

Most disappointing is a dramatic drop in quality of the Language lessons. The grammar explanations are much shorter, and leave gaps and questions unanswered. The lessons on Dative and Genitive are terrible - cursory explanations and patchy examples. Example sentences either display grammatical features which go wholly unexplained in the text; or fail to display the relevant grammar at all. Poorly thought out, and a frustrating contrast to the excellent Level 1.

2 months' before a 2 week trip to Italy - time to work on language skills. Rocket came recommended on some web sites, so I tried the free offer and then plunked down the money after working the free lesson. Try it, you'll like it!

I like the ability to go back to any lesson and review. The speech recognition (using Chrome browser and a microphone) is awesome.

Good for picking up conversation skills. Lessons build well on each other and great focus on practicing speaking. I do wish there was a greater variety in terms of the types of exercises to complete. Also more review type exercises would be nice.

This is such a well thought out and diverse language learning system. The variations of learning in each different modules, has been tremendously helpful in me retaining what I just learn. It’s so funny, I’ve had this as gift for several years and I’m just starting to utilize it, I regret not having done it before. But I have something great to look forward to and do during my down time. High five and excellent job of the creators and masterminds behind this awesomeness. Happy New Year!!!!!

So far RL is okay. The audios are entertaining, but a tad slow and I wished that they were a bit less English-heavy as it really breaks my French-thinking mindset. Any technical issues (and there are quite a few given the nature of the voice recognition software) that are reported fall onto deaf ears. Overall, it's an okay program, but needs heavy supplementation from grammar and vocab books (as all learners should have anyway).

I just recently started learning Russian wit Rocket Russian, and i have to say in only this short time I've been leaning, I've learned a lo. i would defiantly recommend it to anyone leaning a language .
