Rocket Languages Reviews

Ciao!
I am just beginning this Italian course and I love it!
I am thoroughly satisfied so far even though I am in the raw first stages.
I enjoy the way it is presented and so far am happy with my results and knowledge - I'll keep you posted!

Kindest Regards

I started the course 6 days ago, and I have to say I do like it. Unlike modern techniques "learn-a language-the way-children-do", which is definitely not my cup of tea, here there are clear explanations provided in enjoyable conversations - just what I need. Each audio lasts approx. 30 min - not too long and not too short - I suppose that is the right time to process information without becoming tired of it.
What I like the most about the course is the way it's constructed. You just listen to the audio, repeat phrases, checking your pronunciation, and do exercises, all of which help you memorise new information. I already feel confident pronouncing basic but extremely useful phrases in French! I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND the course to my friends!

I have been a calligrapher of chinese brush for 10 years, and NOW I am learning the language! I knew that whatever I found had to fit my “not so beginner, but very beginner” status. Rocket Chinese does the trick! I really like learning the grammar this way. It isn’t so daunting. I also have to study grammar as well, since I translate what I write, but this has really increased my confidence. Thank you! Xie xie!

This course really works. I find the French phrases from the lesson automatically drift into my mind while doing a workout at the gym or driving. I took an immersion French class years ago in college, which was great for a few days but then a nightmare, as I could not visualize the words without seeing them and the translations. Rocket French allows the words to sink in, with its combination of auditory first and then great reviews and games. Pimsleur is similar, and I believe a great course too, but it is twice the money. The Rocket speakers are more fun, and they teach more vocabulary—so much that I need to go over each lesson two or three times to get it all. It’s worth it, as after only one week I am dreaming in French. Drawback: I can’t play the lesson on my smartphone without being online, and Rocket gobbled up all my minutes in a couple of days. Does anyone know how to download it so it can play offline?

I can't. you won't let the honest responses be submitted. there is nothing awesome about your program. Neither, do you respond in a timely manner to concerns. So if you want honest then let them be submitted

Hi,
I've been using Rocket Italian for a week now and find I'm learning more Italian than in an evening class I took at college three years ago. I like that I can listen to my recorded voice and immediately compare it to the native speaker. This allows me to greatly improve my pronunciation. The pacing of the lessons is good, though I have to review often previous lessons so as not to forget difficult parts from those lessons. I'm trying to complete one lesson each day. I spend 30 minutes, then take a break before returning to finish the lesson. I practice talking aloud to myself during the day repeating the words and phrases I've learned. I will be travelling to Umbria for a month in a year. I hope to be able to have simple conversations with the local people. So far I am very pleased with Rocket Italian. The regular price is expensive, but I managed to buy it with a promo code for 60% off. At that price it is a good value for all that you get. Also the forum is an excellent way to get answers to your questions. I recommend Rocket Italian to anyone wishing to learn this language!

I am two months into the Rocket Italian course and I am so far very pleased with it. The website and apps are well designed, interesting to use and encourage you to stick with the course. The lessons are at the right length for me - I can get one done a day and it's the right amount of new vocabulary and grammar each lesson for me to then learn. I find learning online, on my computer, a flexible way to learn that means I am studying more than if I was using a teacher once or twice a week.

I am one week in having completed module 1 of level 1, I bought the course to mainly learn in the car on a 1.5 hour each way commute. I must say I am very impressed so far, the 'banter' between the course instructors is amusing and adds to the learning experience and always look forward to the next lesson. i do find I have to listen to the current lesson at least three times for it all to sink in but the followup exercises using the app are invaluable for reinforcing the lessons. Having only studied French at GCSE level (A grade ;-)) previously 30 years ago I do find I have to work out the grammar myself from the audio lessons and the app myself as its not always explained. This is just probably down to how I personally like learn so no real criticism of the course. Having said that I have had a sneak peak at later lessons and I think this will come in time. All in all its early days buy I'm very much enjoying and learning a lot from the course. What may be useful are some resources such as links to simple podcasts and children books to all read and learn from.

Excellente!

Very well designed course, it is easier to learn the sounds in Chinese which is the most difficult part about learning the language once you memorize basic vocabulary.

Excellent Course, highly recommended.

It would be helpful for a quick reference vertical bar on the left for key word reference related to that page.
For example presently when doing flashcards and beyond it is an effort to scroll way back up the page to find the correct words.
