Rocket Languages Reviews

I am enjoying the course a lot. I like the systematic way the material is delivered with plenty of practice examples and opportunity to repeat it as much as one likes.
The audio facility is excellent.
The only reason I am not there every day is too many other commitments.
Customer service very good but can take a bit too long.

Many thanks

I´m very pleased with Rocket French. I love the extras like the pronunciation. I have a hard time with some of the words and the fact that I can record myself is very helpful. The ability to print the lesson is also a big plus. I´m very happy with it.

Honestly, I really enjoy the interactive component of the course. It not only allows you to engage with the language and therefore better understand it, but most importantly, it gets you ready for the conversational aspect of any language. Furthermore, I particularly appreciated the audio lessons which explain the pronunciations, their rationales, and their connection to their english equivalents. Finally, the written exercises are particularly helpful to get one's written and not simply oral skills up to par.

The one deterrent I have from the program is it's cost. Being a student, I don't have a particularly high budget and with competing programs such as Duolingo, it might be hard to justify the purchase. That being said, the trial thus far has given me a taste of the real package that is Rocket Languages. It truly is comprehensive and well developed. I truly hope that completing the entire program does make one somewhat proficient in the language as it is quite an expense.

A final note has to be the aesthetics, design and appearance of the website. The site is polished, clean and well organized. It breads for a simple and user friendly experience. Very appealing and enticing to any user.

I enjoy the courses because they are well structured and easy to follow. Most importantly, I find the user friendly platform makes it simple to navigate the lessons. I would like, however, some more texts to read for comprehension testing.

Definitely better than Rosetta Stone, Designs are nice and everything is crisp. Might actually be easier to use too! Overall I would give this program a solid 4/5 and Rosetta a 3.5/5. Thumbs up to Rocket Languages!

Overall, I understand the structure of the course, but it seems like many aspects, especially in testing, are done by a cookie-cutter algorithm which makes some really critical mistakes.

First, some technical issues. I use Chrome, as recommended, and there are a few things missing. Most notably, the on-screen Korean keyboard is not there. Also, I often do not have the button to mark a Writing lesson as completed. Finally, unlike in the app, there is no way for me to cut a voice recording off if I wish to restart, which often means waiting quite a while for the program to try to sort through gibberish.

Now, for the "cookie-cutter" aspect that bothers me. Frequently in the Audio lessons, the native speakers will say something that was not part of the lesson. This is fine, except that these phrases get put in the testing sections. For example, in the very first lesson there are introductions of the two native speakers. One says that he served in the Korean Marine Corps, then was discharged and migrated to the United States with his parents. He says this in Korean. This is a great way to get acquainted with the sound of the language. However, then this phrase comes up in the testing section of the exam.

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.

I really enjoyed using rocket languages! It was fun and comprehensive especially because of the audio feature. In a span of just 2 days, i was able to speak in Korean in a conversational way! More Power! :D I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends.

Really good for learning languages, very natural and just very good. Would recommend, 10/10. I had some basic knowledge on french before this, but this was the first one that allowed me to record and review my own voice. kjagijaewijfnadjshif

I work as a bartender in a beautiful little island in Panama. After a week searching for the perfect French course, I found it. And I also found an awesome team on the other side of the screen. The costumer service is impeccable. I love languages and in my profession, learning a new language is a hole new world of opportunities.
