Rocket Languages review criteria
I've been using Rocket Italian since December 2019. I purchased Levels 1, 2, & 3-Instant Lifetime Access and the Travelogue. (Yes, I am committed to learn Italian.) I am on Unit I- module 6. In addition to Rocket, I use 2 other Apps/programs along with Rocket Italian. After 3/12 months of use, I feel I can write an accurate review.
Pros
1. I love the structured lessons
2. Like having the audios of Alex and Maria (audio lessons and reviews)
3. Like having the ability to record myself and mimic pronunciation
Cons (or possible areas to improve)
1. I wish there was a way to manipulate and build sentences rather than solely memorizing. (Maybe this happens in later units, I don't know.)
2. I wish that in lessons, such as in Language and Culture, where they may be over 90 terms to learn, that the lesson be divided in smaller lessons. Memorizing close to 100 terms is overwhelming and a big challenge. Maybe limiting the terms to a more manageable number would be beneficial to the learner.
3. I wish there was a method to answer questions on a lesson directly on the lesson page itself rather than on the forum. Also, I would appreciate if someone from Rocket could answer those questions rather than relying mostly other learners.

Response from Rocket Languages
Thanks for the detailed review Laura! I thought that I would comment on the cons; 1. Play it! is the best tool for this at the moment. We are looking into other tools to achieve this. 2. Rocket Italian is due for a total review later this year. At that stage the amount of phrases per lesson will be addressed. We know it's an issue and have been working at how to make it less of a slog yet maintain the comprehensiveness. 3. Great idea. I will look into this. 4. We used to have this as an extra paid feature but it was difficult to manage as it requires a lot more human resources to be able to do it.
I have been loving learning Italian with the Rocket Languages program. It's practical knowledge that's well paced, thoroughly explained and culturally relevant. I am so happy with the progress I am making. This was such a wonderful gift to myself! Grazie mille!
I first bought this language program over a year a go, just for fun but though my own fault, I didn't really appreciate nor use it properly, hence no results.
Recently, my reasons for needing to speak Italian changed and as with all goals, when you have a big enough "why" you find a way instead of finding excuses and since restarting with a routine and discipline, I have to say, I now look forward to my daily sessions.
I have only needed to contact Customer service once over an issue with the voice recognition and the auto responder email states service will be four to five days which for me is way too long. that said, I can comment favourably on a number of other things; the structure, the layout, and even the voice recognition for the majority of the time. but there is one thing I really like a lot! In fact, because of this, I discovered something about myself I didn't realise was such a driver for me. The Leaderboard!

I began taking this course to aid my somewhat pre-existing French in my professional setting, and I'm so glad I did! It's helped me with pronunciation, and grammar, among other things. I've gotten a lot of compliments on my French since starting this course but I must say that the more you practice the better you get, which is exactly what Rocket Languages promotes! Practice! Practice! Practice!
I'm very satisfied with the overall package rocket languages gives you; I'm a visual and hands-on learning and rocket languages includes every learning style to meet your needs. I would definitely purchase this again, potentially to learn a language that I have zero experience in, as I feel it would teach me just the same.
Rocket French makes it easy to learn French. I have always wanted to learn this beautiful language, but have not had the opportunity. Rocket French is online and is therefore easily accessible. I also like the fact that it represents a one-off purchase and do not need to make a continual investment in the initial stages when you are still not sure if you will be able to commit to in the long-term.
This is the best French course I have ever tried. It is so easy to understand. The grammar I have struggled with in the past, I now understand perfectly. So Thank You Rocket Languages for helping me to take my French to a new level.
This app is the best for Japanese. I would Definitely recommend it... great for learners.!!!!
I enjoyed the testing the most. So many options on how to learn the language. Saying it, Writing it, and Listening to it. Easy to follow lessons. The teachers are fun to listen to and engage you to really listen.
Great program the best that I have used so far. Love the fact that I can down load the audio and listen in my car The instructors speak slowly when they repeat the sentences after they speak at normal spoken speed. Also like the fact that you can print the transcript. I am currently at lesson 1.3 but am happy with my purchase. Would recommend this program for anyone wanting to learn Egyptian Arabic
Although I've been with French for several months before, the free lessons of Rocket French are still good reviews. Certainly more useful than Assimil so far. I unfortunately don't have the funds to buy the full course right now, but I certainly would if I could!
