Rocket Languages Reviews

I have just returned from my first-ever trip to China. For 6 months prior to my trip, the Rocket Chinese course helped me learn basic conversational skills that resulted in many compliments from tour guides, drivers, flight attendants, hotel personnel and other native speakers. I am inspired to continue my studies and return to China someday with a higher command of the language. Rocket Chinese offers very effective tools to achieve this.

I love learning new languages! I can speak conversational German and, to a lesser extent, Croatian.

Recently I was inspired to learn Spanish by a friend and so I spent hours and hours poring over reviews of the various online language learning options. There were so many options out there but nothing really felt like it was "the one" until I came across Rocket Spanish! Now, some people are happy with simply learning how to speak a language by only learning phrases but I'm one of those who really need to understand the grammar behind the phrases and sentences. So, when I came across Rocket Spanish, I was extremely excited to see that, not only will I get to learn to speak the language like a native speaker and in a way that suits my learning style (Visual) but also that the course is packed with quality lessons in grammar.

What really impresses me about Rocket Spanish is the emphasis on repeating words or phrases out loud (not just in my head). This is such an important factor in accelerating one's fluency in a non-native language. After all, if you want to speak a new language, then you really do need to speak it out loud! I only wish that I had come across Rocket when I learned German and Croatian! It would most certainly have saved me countless hours and dollars wasted on ineffective methods.

This is a revision to an earlier review I posted. Although I wasn't real impressed originally, I stayed with it because, well, I paid for it. Since then I have become more familiar with the RF system and have been able to get more out of it. The single most important value to me is the immediate playback of one's own voice which allows comparison with the native speaker and improvement of pronunciation. I still get frustrated when the voice recognition software stubbornly refuses to validate sometimes, even though my recording sounds just like the example, but I've learned to ignore it and move on. As one progresses, there is a lot to learn here and I'd rate
RF among the top three available language learning systems.

Hi there,

Course seems like pretty good but when it comes to customer service. Its very poor.

In the past I have sent couple of queries but no One ever responded not I can not be able to access my premium French language course.

Could you please resolve the issue as soon as possible .

Thank you

I was previously on a Rosetta Stone subscription but found the way that the lessons were structured did not line up with real life scenarios. Straight from the beginning, Rocket Languages teaches you introductions and essential phrases.

I plan to live in Japan for a year and find that Rocket Languages gives me the confidence to keep going.

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.

Good for those who like to control the content of their learning rather than going in an order dictated to them. I like the email reminders to encourage return to learning. Clicking on phrases to hear the pronunciation is also very helpful, as is playing the games to test knowledge.

Good! I am still working on it. Rocket Arabic is a good one and I love the interactive lesson. It helps us to pronounce the words in Arabic wich is sometimes difficult. Some of the Arabic words are very difficult to pronounce them. In this case, It is good to use the Rocket Arabic practice parts. Learning the vocabularies is also a key component of language learning and Rocket Arabic provides more than enough

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!

Granted, I am not a very disciplined student, but I have tried all of the language learning tools around I think... I like aspects of all of them, but not everything about any of them... I haven't been working with Rocket Italian for very long, but I am beginning to think that it may change all of that! I like the variety of presentations they take you through for each lesson - I originally took the stance that I didn't care about being able to write Italian, but as time goes on, I find that it not only helps you remember things, but comes in handy as you email more and more with Italian speakers. I liked that aspect of Fluenz, but other aspects bugged me... didn't really like Rosetta Stone... like Plimslur in my car, but only as practice, not really as comprehensive learning... so, I am thrilled with what I am finding with Rocket Italian!
