Rocket Languages Reviews

I currently live in Japan and have found this program extremely helpful. It has allowed me to communicate with the locals and for us to actually understand each other. I was actually told by some that I speak amazing Japanese.

I have been using RI for about 4 months after trying Rosetta stone (very boring) and Pimsleur (good but not quite what I wanted). I found that using RI I have a better comprehension especially when you use the extra lessons where you write and take some tests. Seeing, hearing and writing have made a big difference.

I have been using the program for about a month and a half now and I have found it somewhat useful. My level is above that of a new beginner but not quite yet intermediate. My concerns about the program, starting with the idea that most people want what will be most useful i.e. picking up useful spoken language for travel, is that particularly when testing, the program expects your responses to be almost in the same order as their introduction. If the expected answer starts with Tu and you use the Vous form, you are marked as incorrect. The program should note what form is wanted. A "hint" function also would be nice to help someone with responses as learning, not just simple memorization, is the goal. The program also occasionally makes some unexpected detours from what is useful. For example, one lesson moved from general travel issues to a flight of fancy to go skiing. I did not find a lot of useful information in that lesson. Finally, today I took a test which contained a large number of questions involving the "passe simple". The last question on the test asked how much one would expect to hear the passe simple and the correct answer was "almost never". So, I feel a lot of time was wasted that could have been better spent elsewhere. I hope these comments are considered helpful. There are good things here but a few tweaks would make it much better.

I have been learning German and I am happy with the results as I can understand some words now when I listen to German conversation or song. I only finished Module 1, so no a bad start. I highly recommend the Rocket school of learning a new language.

So far, I have enjoyed the interactive audio portions and rocket reviews the most. It's nice to be able to test yourself in the rocket review right after taking the lesson. The culture portion is also very, very interesting. I am looking forward to trying all the rest of the features in the near future. It's beneficial to be able to not only hear the pronunciation, but also to see it written in both the actual language. I hope there will be a way to be able to put the language into use after trying so hard to learn it!

Useful every German language practice with Rocket German and I am starting to think in simple German Phrases. This is truly an Awesome Program that allows to build your language skills. It is also interesting to hear what are students/members have to say!

Amazing lessons, it feels like I'm in my high school French class again! They are so easy to learn and the step-by-step method is incredible to help perfect pronunciation! I'm currently on Level 1 but I plan to finish all levels and I am confident I will learn everything I need from Rocket Languages!

I am currently in college for elementary education and work part time. After college I plan on teaching english in Korea, and wanted to get a bit of a jump on the language. One of my favorite things is how you can star any word you learn and put it into your vocab for later. This might seem small but I really like this feature! The lessons are short but very thorough and I can drop and pick back up wherever I like, which is nice considering my busy schedule. I am currently working on the Hangeul lessons and really love how RK uses example words with the Korean writing and english pronunciation next to each other, so I can sound out the words as I write them. I've been using RK for a few months now and personally, I think the price is nothing compared to all that is offered. I'm very happy with this program and will continue using it!

Rocket Languages is a very useful program. I've only had it for a short time and I'm already impressed with the content. It is the most affordable language program out there, and also has some the best content I have seen from a language program.
It's very useful for jump starting your conversational skills, and it goes over a variety of subjects. The content is awesome, but I am the most impressed about the affordability of this program, would recommend to anyone on a budget.

I really enjoy the lessons of Rocket French. I have it playing in the background as I am working on my computer. I learn and am not even aware! Very entertaining speakers! Learning is easy with this program.
