Rocket Languages Reviews

I took 2 years of German in high school, it's always interested me so I kept coming back to it trying to learn more. I tried various free workshops online but they don't really give you an in depth experience. I'm pleasantly surprised with my rocket german experience. I do find some of the beginner levels easy because of my past education with some of the language in high school, but I do enjoy that it's not just audio, but that it's interactive as well. That definitely helps. I am more of a visual learner so I would recommend something more visually stimulating. I often write things down when listening to the audio so I can see the words as well as listen to them. Just listening to them doesn't really solidify it for me. I need to write it down and read it over. But the interactive lessons help with that.

Although Rocket Languages tells a good story, waiting 2 days for an answer to a question is ridiculous! For this reason alone I could not in good
conscience recommend it to someone learning their first foreign language

I have tried many other options for learning Spanish but am really enjoying the approach the Rocket languages course provides. The ability to test the speaking element alongside the listening and writing means that you get a great all round approach to learning the language. It also jumps you straight in to learning useful vocabulary rather than grammatical rules (which I admit need to be learnt but as part of a broader process).

I'm happy that this was my first exposure to American Sign Language (ASL). I now have an excellent foundation. I believe the lessons could cover a bit more subject matter to increase effectiveness but I believe the syllabus was well formulated.

Rocket Spanish is a program that you have to be able to dedicate your time to. If you are not dedicated toward going through the material you will not learn like you should. If you are willing to put in the time you will get there. You can not just listen to a lesson each day. You need to learn the lesson you have that day and then you are done for the day. The material is solid but the will power to cover the material has to be there. Long story short, you will get what you put in.

I don't have enough English to explain but I can say that: "Rocket Languages are very helpful, nice and great. If only Rocket Languages are free." I love learning languages so I love Rocket Languages very much...

Mi idioma nativo es español, mi opinion personal para este programa es que sea realizado de una forma mas entendible para el alumno, me refiero a que si estas escuchando una conversacion, seria bueno a la vez ver como se escribe lo que estas escuchando. Una video conferencia seria cinco estrellas. gracias.

Very comprehensive and great price. I like it because it focuses mainly on speaking and comprehension, like real life conversations.

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.

I have been doing Rocket Italian for the past 2 years. I find that when I follow the program as designed I get the most benefit from it. I have travelled to Italy a couple of times and found that the Rocket lessons have stayed with me being very useful.
Thanks to Maria and her co-presenters.
