With rocket I'm ready for an Italian moon landing !
Very well organised and clear. received great support when I had some technical issues.
Great balance of grammar and spoken Italian.
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!!
Overall, definitely gets you "speaking" quite a bit. The great majority of this, however, is just rote copying of what was just heard. Regurgitation, not processing and internalizing. The rest is straight translation, which in my opinion is a far inferior way to learn a language. A good number of lessons use words/phrases/tenses that have never been discussed and are simply not explained. There are quite a few glitches with speech recognition, especially regarding numbers and accent marks. The material is HEAVILY focused on travel, which I get makes some sense if you're learning Spanish in order to travel, but I suspect a large number of people are like me, learning Spanish to use in everyday life. May just be a US bias though, where Spanish can be very useful almost everywhere.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Michael - Thanks for your review. There are differing viewpoints on what is the best way to learn a language and I am sure that it is different for different people. In our case, we try to provide a very comprehensive course that covers a variety of learning styles. On a side note; there has been an issue with the numbers returned from voice recognition not matching as they should, even if it was pronounced correctly. We are looking into that!
This is a great way to learn any language! All the lessons are organized, and it's easy to go to a section you need to practice, or easily pick up where you left off. They talk slow enough so you're able to follow what they're saying, but fast enough to keep you involved. I love Rocket Languages!
Great structured course. Repetitive and so far good for complete beginners.
Very easy to use; covers all aspects of learning, not just drill exercises. You get to learn about culture too. Mobile friendly as well. I use an IPhone and like that I can access lessons at any place I like. Waiting at the doctor's office? Why not learn a lesson rather than read outdated magazines? :)
At first, I wasn't entirely sure about Rocket Languages. I had seen reviews on other websites saying that it's teaching methods are comparable and even superior to Rosetta Stone, but I wasn't convinced... until I actually tried it for myself.
As a native German born, I wanted to get back to my roots and re-learn the language I lost when I moved to the states 15 years ago. And let me tell you, if you ever plan on using the language you're trying to learn, Rocket Languages is the place to learn it from. My mother, who is completely German, was completely astonished at my grasp of the language after using Rocket Languages.
Beyond being extremely good at teaching the language, Rocket Languages also manages to keep you motivated as well, with fun activities such as flash cards, to their really cool badge system, which makes you feel accomplished as you reach milestones.
After trying out this product, I can proudly say I'll be coming back in the near future for my next Language Package, French!
I'm planning a move to Puerto Vallarta, MX while in a wheelchair, not knowing Spanish and having major speech problems, even in English. I am learning to speak correctly and be understood in Spanish. I appreciate both hearing myself speak and the accuracy of the sounds I make. This is perfect for me.
Rocket Portuguese is quick and straight to the point. You learn everyday phrases and quickly pick up grammar. I just wish that there was a second level to Rocket Portuguese. I hope I don't have to wait to long before they come out with level two.
The real life situations make learning fun! It would make everyday situations easy to comprehend. The interactive audio makes it easy to grasp the meaning of words and sentences. The audio playback is good for review. Building on the sentences a phrase at a time makes it all come together. Hopefully when presented with questions in real life, this will be helpful to use all the words and phrases I've learned.
