Rocket Languages Reviews

I have been searching for a way to regain my conversational Italian, that allows me to do so at work, at home and on the go. It took me some time after reading reviews and trying other programs to take the plunge and purchase Rocket Italian. It has not disappointed me, I moved quickly through the basics for a quick review and already I am back to speaking again. Great product I look forward to completing the entire program and having to refer to as I need in the future.

I am so happy that I joined this course! I could recommend it to all my friends who want to learn a new language or refresh their knowledge in German, French etc.
Besides that, rocketlanguages is preparing regular new updates and they are for free for all users.

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 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 just bought Rosetta Stone and realized after a week, I could not speak French. I really was not learning how to converse. I bought the Rocket and had a full conversation with my French speaking friend after two days. Even he was shocked!! This is great!

I plan to go to Paris next year and want to be able to have some conversation or understand something and this has been great. I play it in my car, chat with the tapes, do it at home. Etc.

**Please fix the voice/tape thing -- it never works, I always sound like a Chipmunk when I record my voice.

Other than that, I love this. Thanks.

This program trains your ear to hear the words as they actually sound in French. The tests help with this portion of the program, which is difficult without actually being in a French-speaking country.

Bounjour I learn too much with this app I recomendated that all people used it

What a great way to learn Spanish. I struggle with languages, but I'm certaining enjoying Rocket Spanish. I can't wait to try it out on my friends in Argentina. They will be very surprised that I can speak some of their language.

Hello, I really like Rocket Languages cause I'm learning like a rocket in a really amazing manner!!!

The first time I decided to learn Spanish I said to myself "impossible" but now nothing is impossible cause Rocket Language exists. Really I tried a lot of sites and books and I haven't found anything more efficient than Rocket Languages; I want to thank everybody working on it.

I started this program as a teacher of Spanish, and having worked in a restaurant with native speakers of Italian, giving me a major leg-up. The program is good at addressing listening, speaking, and reading... I'll have to see how writing develops long-term, but they do have you spell the words. The semantically unrelated vocabulary (you learn words that are not all part of a "list" with each lesson) helps with retention. For what you pay, there is a TON of content. I'm curious to see the user forums in the future.

I'm also curious to try one of their non-Romance language offerings, to see how the acquisition is. Part I of Italian was overall enjoyable and easy to fit into a very busy schedule.
