Rocket Languages review criteria
This is a very good tool for learning a new language. The lessons are detailed, but with enough repetition to ensure you understand before moving on to the next lesson and the audio is very clear. The follow up exercises are invaluable and a good way to reinforce what you have learned. An added bonus was the little insights to the cultural aspects of the people, as well as the language. I will be travelling to Japan 4 weeks after starting my Rocket course and am confident that, at the very least, I will be able to communicate on a base level, that is, have a full understanding of the basic greetings, introductions, pleasantries etc.
Thanks Rocket.
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.

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 love it i can't wait to be able to speak spanish with my family!!!!
I purchased full French and Spanish courses from Rocket Languages a couple of months ago. Love it! Very affordable. Excellent layout. Love those little snippets of single words and sentences which you can listen to over and over again until it really sinks in. Great variety of topics and perfectly sized lessons on grammar for easy digestion. I didn't expect that taking all the tests at the end of the lesson would help me so much in memorizing words, phrases and sentences. Especially it is very helpful with French words since what you hear and what you write is quite different. Overall, excellent courses! I will definitely buy more from Rocket Languages in the near future and recommend it to all those who want to learn foreign languages with ease.
This is a great language program. I was committed to the free version for three weeks to try the program out. If I was able to hang on and learn from the few free training segments, I promised myself that I would purchase the first two French language levels. Yes, I did it, and no regrets,
I'm really enjoying this course. I've previously tried to use both Duolingo and Babel. Duolingo is good for learning vocabulary, but not much else. And Babel was just too boring! I love this format, how there's the base lesson that helps you learn from a conversational point of view, and then the complimentary language and culture lessons to provide more color and nuances. And the Play It feature is great! I would highly recommend Rocket Languages for whatever language you are trying to learn.
Tried the 7 day free trial, didn't work very well so not confident to purchase ,

Hi Julie - I am sorry to hear that it wasn't for you. If there was a technical issue then please contact customer support!
I've only been using the course for three days now, but so far the lessons have been interesting and engaging. I find it a plus that there is a native speaker who speaks clearly and slowly and is easy to understand, even with the accent. I am mildly concerned about not learning a variety of vocabulary but as I have literally just started the program, I'll reserve judgement.
I have been teaching English for the last 20 yrs and I have been looking for online materials, apps and e-learning platforms since I've started my job as a teacher. I specialize in Computer-assisted language learning and what I found was that 90% of such programs available on the internet are just a waste of money. However, I find Rocket English VERY useful because it is both attractive and absorbing. I like the way it works and how it stresses the importance of accent, rhythm, intonation, pitch and the structure of each lesson. It's definitely worth buying, I recommend it to every English learner.
P.S
Monthly payments of 15$ is an excellent idea - it's affordable all around the world
