Rocket Languages Reviews

I looked into different options, from intensive Chinese lessons to online applications like Rocket languages. Ultimately, I realized that I was going to get the same learning without spending thousands of euro. This application is superbly done and the voice recognition is simply amazing. I strongly recommend. I'm making great progress and feel that I'm going to be able to survive on my next trip and more...

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!

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

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.

Rocket Hindi is my favourite language learning method after reading actual books, which give me much more in depth understanding of grammar.
My fault with it is the use of the inherent vowel at the end of the English (romanised) tranliteration of words and where it’s not pronounced in the middle of some words. It’s a massive let down to the service and gets in the way of every session. The inherent ‘a’ vowel is only pronounced in Sanskrit. So for example the word namaskar, which almost everywhere else is transliterated as namaskar, on Rocket Hindi it’s written namaskara. Your brain is already spending a lot of effort learning new worlds, sounds, spellings, associations. To have to them sift out this ‘a’ all the time is exasperating.
They could simply write something about the inherent vowel at the start of the course. I mean it’s an English Transliteration not the actual spelling anyway. It’s meant to sound how the word is pronounced.
Every time I come across a word while I’m listening to the audio at the same time and it doesn’t match the audio I get a moment of confusion. I have to look hard at the word to see why it’s pronounced differently, if it is the inherent vowel or something else.

I have tried a number of online language courses. I found Rocket Italian to be the best. What I like most about the Rocket method is the fact that most all of the lessons call for the student to participate in a dialog which can be repeated as many times as needed. To me, this seems to be a very vital part of learning a language. Additionally, the cultural studies go a long way in understanding how the average Italian thinks and forms sentences. I can't say enough about Rocket Languages.

The best way to learn a new language. It helped me learn Spanish in less than 2 years, studying in my own pace and educating me about the Latin culture. 5 stars! I'm going to learn either French or Italian next! Rocket Languages for the win!

This course is the first I've tried with the voice recognition feature and I greatly appreciate its ability to help me with speaking out loud, both in my pronunciation and level of confidence. I had studied Italian for a few years and had a good understanding of basic grammar and possessed a decent vocabulary, but never mastered the speaking without feeling a bit self-conscious.

I chose to start Rocket Italian at Level 1 and enjoyed the material. I'm on to Level 2 and intend to eventually do Level 3 as well. So far this has been a very positive experience and am glad I chose Rocket Languages.

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

Rocket Languages are the very best platform I have tried for learning new languages. I have Japanese and Spanish and really enjoy using them daily. It's fun, and very well laid out, which keeps me interested and motivated to continue optimizing my abilities and goals. I would recommend Rocket to anyone I know!
