Rocket Languages Reviews

This course is extremely well done. It is surprising how easy learning a language can be. I knew a little German in the past so this serves as a review for some of the basics but even in the first few lessons I already learned new things.

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.

Great product. Very well structured, organized and involving. Voice recognition fails though and only somewhat useful and I had a feeling the app becomes dysfunctional from time to time. And also if the course would be adaptive - it would be a real hit.

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.

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 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.

I purchased this course to give me a chance to practice speaking. I had to you 3 different browsers before it would accept my microphone. I find some of the voice responses I made were nowhere near what I said when fetched. I'm going to keep going for a while but may cancel.

it would be nicer if the voice adjustment meter was still part of the program lessons (it helps out a lot, in correcting individual pronunciation): it was perfect with my studies at the University of Florence during 2012. I was able to interact with the people of Florence because of the tools that rocket language provided. Plus, pass all of the tests that was only in the Italian dialogue. Thanks

After only six Spanish lessons I happened to drive past a beer garden in a small town in Texas. There was a sign in the front that had a hand drawn humorous quip written in Spanish. I knew what it said! There was no stopping and mentally translating. I just read it and understood!

I am rather impressed by the variety of activities that Rocket Language has to offer for language learning. It's awesome! Also the amazing deal that was provided on Groupon is the only reason why I was introduced to this fabulous site! I'm definitely learning more than one language on here. It's like going to school!
