Rocket Languages Reviews

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 have tried to speak Spanish for years, buying into memorizing vocabulary with its gender and count, listing verb conjugation, breaking down tense usage, and referencing dictionary check. And yet, no matter how much I applied myself, I would fail miserably at sentence structure. I could not relate my thoughts to others. I struggled with verb tenses relative to mood and emotion. I used multiple verb sets to indicate mood. I was lost and would quit trying. There were times I would focus so intently on a conversation, a headache would result.

Rocket Language put my focus on communicating in Spanish, not memorization and grammar. Initially, I realized that learning how to pronounce Spanish words (sounds) enabled others to identify my spoken words and thereby understand my attempts to speak to them. I placed more emphasis in this area. I discovered that now, I could identify words spoken by a fluent spanish talker that were spoken to me. I realized that simple learned conversational phrases could be modified and combined to fit a variety of life's situation. More learned verbs could be used to convey more ideas, gain information and fluency.

Outstanding course - my friend recommended it to me as the BEST way to learn the language - it's completely comprehensive and includes lots of practice in speaking, reading and writing.

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.

Not the easiest to navigate, but sure beats the heck out of RosettaStone! Male voices seem to be easier to understand for me and would be nice to have the option of switching. Overall, a hearty thumbs up.

After several restarts I am now getting into the course and it is really well structured. Learning a language is never easy but these guys break it all down to small pieces that are easy to understand and help.

I have purchased both the Spanish and French. They are very organized and easy to use. I like how you get a basic sentence structure or phrase that you can use with so many other words as you learn them. Very easy to use and web based means you can get it on your smart phone or pad. Good programs. I saw several comments about price. This is priced very reasonable in my opinion. I looked at several versions, and most of there were $400 and not even web based, so you could only do it at home. Also Rocket offers specials throughout the year so you can get it even cheaper. For the money you are getting a great value!!!

While I've already finished 4 semesters of Japanese class which ended me on the intermediate level, I found this site and was intrigued on the amount of content and materials they are selling. At first, I doubt myself if I will find it not worth it to try the materials starting from the basics... But after finishing a module, I found myself again refreshed and learned something new especially on the conversation and grammar side.

It's a new experience which adds as a reinforcement to my current Japanese knowledge. The interactive audio which takes an average of 20 - 30 minutes is kinda nice to listen to. They are very detailed and yet explained clearly. Other things like the quiz and vocabulary identification is kinda nice too plus the culture notes which emphasizes on how you should act on different circumstances where the language is really native too.

I'm happy to say that it's really worth it if you're either a beginner or already in intermediate level.

Rocket French has been fantastic! It's so helpful listening to an actual conversation, and then breaking down that conversation and figuring out what it actually means. I really think the Rocket approach is much more effective than simply learning vocabulary and grammar. I've most appreciated being able to focus on the pronunciation of so many new words, and really learning what these words sound like, so that I can recognize them in a real conversation.

I haven't had to contact Rocket about any customer service issues, so I have no idea what their service is like. I gave a 5-star rating for this, just to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Great language course, have only just started but am making good progress. Will write a further review at the end of module 1.
I love the structure of the course and having taken the valentines deal both my wife and I now have a lifetime membership for all modules for a little over £300, a fantastic deal.
I listen to the modules in the car on the way to work and back and then catch up with the other modules in the evenings and weekends, perfect.
Looking forward to my Spanish holiday in June.
