Quisiera conocer este sistema de enseñanza por qué me parece interesante

I am working my way through the Rocket German course. It has been fantastic. It certainly helps to immerse yourself in the language with other German resources, such as social media accounts, watching shows in German, learning German songs etc., but using Rocket German as the main driver of learning the language is definitely the way to go. It builds upon previously learned material and really does an all-encompassing approach to get you as close to immersive learning as possible, including audio recognition, writing, spoken pronunciation, memory, and flashcards. This is easily the best course on the market. 5/5. Only complaint is that on certain lessons it crashes the mobile app and those lessons are absolutely unusable for the phone which is incredibly frustrating, especially because each lesson builds upon previously-learned material, so simply skipping it doesn't seem like a prudent option. However, those lessons do work on the desktop/laptop version, so it's only a relatively minor inconvenience (though this has happened so far for 3 out of the first 70 lessons I have done in the beginner course).

I found the Rocket language price expensive, but got an awesome deal on the Labour day Special including level 2 and 3. Was absolutely thrilled. In retrospect the course is not expensive, as there is so much content and amazing explanations.

I also love the audio lessons. The conversations that are broken down bit by bit. Looking at a whole lesson or even a sentence is overwhelming, but when broken into bits by the tutors, makes it so much easier.

A great product and it comes highly recommended. Have used and tried other courses and found them tedious and highly repetitive.

Decided last year to take a language seriously due to being isolated during Covid19. Decided to use Rocket Italian, and it has made a huge difference to my mental health. Keeps me focused and motivated. Makes me feel connected in some way. Enjoy the dialogue exercises between Alessandro and Maria. Has made a big difference to my day to day routine.

On the plus side, the website is attractive and functions well. The interactive lessons are well-structured and nicely done. I appreciate that they make continued improvements, such as the addition of Write It in the testing sections. Also appreciate that both sound and text are downloadable and the website allows you to listen to only the parts of the lessons you want. I haven't taken advantage of any "social" features like the Forum but I appreciate that Rocket tries to foster a community. The "points" system is an interesting idea.

On the downside, I think there's too much repetition of non-essential vocabulary in the testing sections (I really don't think lesson or unit are words to keep hammering me with). I also think built-in flashcards linked to My Vocabulary would be nice or perhaps automated flashcards for each section. It's also not clear the sequencing of the lessons. This is partially intentional but you'll find yourself tested on material you haven't seen if you don't move across all the lesson types. That said, I've given feedback to the team on many points and they've nearly always been responsive and eager to help and take feedback.

Salut!
I discovered Rocket French years ago when it was available as a download. This course above any others -including live course instruction - has given me the confidence to speak and use the language. My french skills have been invaluable in my multiple travels to France and even Morocco. Feeling in need of review, I am delighted that the new version, with its interactive courses, is here at my convenience. I look forward to the enhancements and more of Paul and Claire that fuel my infectious enthusiasm about the language and culture of France!

What's great about Rocket Languages is the way they force you to start listening to and reproducing the language in speech from day one. It's all very well to get bogged down in mastering the grammar and vocabulary, but if you cannot understand it when spoken and you struggle to reproducing it accurately there is not much point at all. Also, it is very useful to be forced to listen to yourself again and again. I'd highly recommend this, especially when it is combined with another program that more emphasizes vocabulary and grammar.

I've bought the course over two years ago and I was on it on and off by my own choice/lack of time. I moved to France, then covid happened next week. Now that I've finished uni I finally have time to do it with more consistency. I do one lesson every day with additional reading or phone apps. The course is great as it gives you reading, writing, speaking and listening experience. The exercises at the end of each lesson are a big help to memorize new words and grammar. For me it sometimes takes over 2h to do one full lesson with making my own notes and practice, so the price of the course is fair I think. It's very well constructed. Pleasant and easy to follow if you're determined.

Having moved from the United States to Berlin, Germany last year, I needed serious help to get up to speed on my German. I've taken several German courses, and used a few other software packages; however, Rocket German is my favorite of all the language development tools. I really appreciate the fact that the good folks at Rocket Languages are always trying to update the content on the website...keeping the lessons fresh and fun. It's good to back over some of the old material from time to time...and Rocket keeps you motivated to do so. While I do not feel I have mastered the language (yet), Rocket German is helping me get there.

Within one week I have learned the sign language alphabet. I am very pleased with the program. The videos are very well done and I am looking forward to becoming more proficient at the phrases. Thank you!!
