So let me tell you something. I have chosen Spanish for my GCSE'S and I have sucked at languages for the 3 years before picking it so I really needed to get something useful to let me get up of my idiot ground. This platform is really useful. the interaction is fun and the audio is really interesting. I don't really write reviews but, once again, this platform is useful.
I love Rocket Language. I have been searching for ways to learn Japanese for like literally forever! And when I came across Rocket Language, I could already write a paragraph in Hiragana, and read it! Rocket Language was like the best thing that could ever happen in my life.
Rocket Chinese has a lot of interesting features, but some don't seem to work as intended. I tried many times to do the testing...but somehow, it never registers when I do the speaking, although the microphone displays the profile it should have...lately the vocabulary did not seem to register eiter anymore when I put words into it.
I compared several language programs and test-drove Rocket German before I purchased the whole series. Rocket Languages is so well-designed - it accommodates most people's learning preferences and provides a great deal of engaging learning opportunities. The audio portion is fun and useful; the practice (especially the recording feature) is SO helpful; the new feature that allows me to practice writing is extremely helpful; the games help reinforce what you learn in a competitive way; the forum is a great place to connect with other learners and ask questions (or find answers if you're too timid to post your own!) ... I use Rocket Languages *nearly* every day and have noticed how well I'm retaining and using German as I continue taking these lessons.
As a student of German in college, I thought that over the years I'd "lost" the language as I haven't had much opportunity to use what I knew... but taking this language course has showed me that I hadn't lost it at all... the more I study RL, the more words from my past lessons come back to me.
And the price for all three courses is very reasonable, particularly with 24/7 access. Online learning can be "iffy" ... but Rocket Languages has it figured out. I design online courses for a living and can vouch for the integrity of theory and quality of the instructional design of these courses. It's great stuff!
This is really the best portuguese lesson out there, very simple and so easy to follow.......obrigado

We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying the Rocket Portuguese course. Best of luck!
I learnt basic French at school decades ago and went back to France recently for the first time in many years and was shocked that I had forgotten the little French I knew and had to speak English. I prefer to speak at least some French in France and am due to return in a few weeks so I bought this course because it seemed to cover useful topics and was quite structured. I have used apps before but don't find learning random phrases useful as I want to be able to make my own sentences and really speak and understand. I have been really impressed with this course, I have learned a lot I had forgotten and much that I didn't know and made much more progress than I expected. It encourages you to speak French, it checks you accent and helps you to understand the language so you can speak it rather than rely on a few phrases. I'm really looking forward to trying out my French in France and perhaps take it further with the advanced courses when I get back (or try another language)
Inconsistent and confusing !
The progression of difficulty in lessons is VERY problematic and not well though !
Sudden long chains of complex unknown words that you have to repeat during the gap which is often too short for long sentences even when you know them by heart.
Followed by obvious 2-word sentences you have seen and heard 5 times already.
Then back to a complex sentence filled with new words.
And not so much audio content in between.
Too expensive for that kind of inconsistency.

Hi Iza - Unlike some more popular languages, there is no set way of learning Hindi (everyone seems to have a different opinion on how it could/should be done). It probably has to do with it being a dialect, which means there isn't necessarily a lot of uniformity when it comes to some words and phrases. We revamped Rocket Hindi at the start of 2020 and I feel that it is one of the best Hindi courses that you will find.
I have started using Rocket Italian recently and have been very impressed with the product. The narrators Maria and Alex are lighthearted, fun and interesting to listen to, and the flashcards and other learning aids are very effective. I also found the cultural elements very interesting. I think that by comparison to other products that I have seen, this is certainly one of the best. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rocket Languages to anyone.
I purchased Rocket Spanish about 2 weeks ago and although I lived in Latin America for a few years that was a while ago and the language has slipped away from me. I am starting right at the beginning and I am re-discovering a lot of the common ways to say things in Spanish, rather than the convoluted way I have fallen into. You can go at your own pace, the lessons are interesting, repeatable and keep me focused.
This is a great software to use. It helps with your pronunciation and learning Spanish here has been a blast. While it is a bit pricey I think this is a great software to use overall, and would totally recommend it.
