Rocket Languages Reviews

I have started studying Egyptian Arabic with Rocket Arabic only 10 days ago. I have made good progress and I love the interactive audio lessons with very good voice recognition functionality. The modules are scaffolded nicely with lots of opportunities for reviewing and practicing. The topics are presented in a friendly, fun way and even the Arabic grammar does not feel too complicated when introduced at this pace. I am confident that I will be able to speak to locals easily, next time I go to Egypt. Thank you Rocket Languages, keep up the good work!

I would recommend Rocket Languages if you are a complete beginner. But it is frustrating for someone, who has basic familiarity with the language and is looking to improve. The program has too many elements, like the speaking, writing, quizzing, etc. And the conversations are so basic and repetitive that it is annoying. I wish there was a version that offered a refresher approach or a reading based approach for those who know the basics and want to expand their vocabulary and brush on grammar. Alternatively, it would be nice if one didn't have to purchase the basic levels in order to get the more advanced sessions. Rocket language dialogs seem to focus more on tourist activities. Also, I think it would be useful to have all of the presenters speaking with the proper accent. In the German course, only one of the presenters is a native speaker. Finally, the speech recognition is slow and often spotty - and that's on the desktop version. In the iOS app, many of the quiz/practice functions don't work at all. I purchased the program because it was on sale, but I should have just relied on reading German books and media and on watching movies in German.

I learned French in school in Canada, but after so many years having not practiced the language, my memory was latent and rusty. I am primarily motivated to brush up on my French for professional purposes and - for this purpose - having been investigating on-line French learning options. I settled on Rocket French due to so many reasons: interactive learning; focus on pronunciation; repeated exercises; explanation in English of French grammar and rules; etc. I could go on...

Thank you Rocket French staff for helping me - at my own pace - to re-learning French and giving me the confidence to speak with French-speaking professionals!

I think Rocket Language German is a very good course. Actually, the best online/software kind of course of german that I have known. It introduces well the German language, in a way that helps you to memorize. In comparison to other famous courses like Rosetta Stone, the content of the Rocket Language is just bigger. It gives you a very good panorama of the main themes in the new language you want to learn. I highly recommend it to serious students...if you are a casual student, be aware that this course is designed for people who really want to make an effort...Finally, I think if you do your homework besides the course, listening to podcasts, reading, studying vocabulary....Rocket Language is definitely a good part of the equation and gives a very good sense of direction.

I have not yet progressed very far into the course, but for as far as I have gone, Rocket compares favorably with Pimsleur courses I have used. I like the available transcripts and computer material. Being able to actually see the words helps a great deal in getting the pronunciation down faster correctly. The recordings are a little too chatty and waste a bit of time better devoted to the language itself. I look forward to your Russian course.

I like the way Rocket Languages is teaching here. The method they demonstrated is clear and easy to follow. I can learn and practise on my own time and whenever or wherever. The pronunciation of the speakers are loud and clear. The explanations from the teacher is also clear n detailed. I am being encouraged by the way they are addressing on the lessons.
Thank you Rocket Languages Team.

So far so good. This is my first language learning experience and I'm very new to it. I like the way the practice sections are set up and the repetition. I believe it's been worth the investment given my limited experience with it so far.

I think that Rocket Spanish is very good . It has an easy style and funny. You are listening lessons and you don't want to finish, the sound of the talking persons very clear and ,full of activity. The start music encourage you to listen, it is successful work.

Just by using the free trial of the Korean language program I learned so much about the language and the culture of Korea. I had previously used the French program five years ago, and thanks to Rocket Languages I am fluent on French. Because of how successful the program was, I decided to learn Korean with Rocket Languages. I will be buying the full version soon!

I'm enjoying this approach to learning a new language; hearing, reading, speaking and writing. This helps to learn in the way that works best for you and develops the other areas you do not rely on often. One lesson a day is quite attainable and the topics cover everyday occurrences. Have benefitted greatly from an on-line format as the lesson can be at my convenience. Would recommend Rocket French to anyone wanting to improve their French language skills.
