Rocket Languages Reviews

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.

1) Great Customer Service: after completing my first lesson, the sound stop! No more sound. It was not my computer because I had sound on everything else than Rocket Italian. I tried the chat and a very nice lady (Marie) helped me. She found the problem very quickly. In no time, I was back to my lessons.
2) Very effective method to learn a foreign language (at least for me!) I love the progression.
3) I find it very useful being able to record my phrase and listen to it after: it helps me improve my accent.
4) Only negative point so far: tooooooooo much English speaking by the guy at the beginning of every lesson. More Italian please!
5) It would help having many different persons talking Italian instead of only two persons. This would be more representative of the real life.

Bottom line: I think that I will be able to learn Italian with Rocket Italian. Would I recommend it to a friend? Mmmm Yes, but with a little hesitation because of the very small sample of Italian voices.

Easy to follow... voice recognition works great with my computer mic... feel like I could speak the words very well after listening to the lesson to or three times... would definitely recommend this course!

I looked around for an online Italian course and I chose Rocket Italian. I haven't been disappointed - the software and lessons work very well and are taking me along my journey to becoming fluent. Through the course I am building a good base. I am now confident to converse with Italians through a local group. I love how I can pick up and drop down at home or work.

The Rocket French is a great Product. I studied French for two years but after I graduated I didn't have the opportunity to practice French. But Rocket French is everywhere as long as you have Wi-Fi. I tried it on my laptop, my tablet and my phone; works great every time. The interface is easy to use and the lessons are easy to follow. Sample conversations are not the 'usual' boring ones. I enjoy the lessons! Also the way lessons are structured helps me remember the previous vocabulary and grammar. I would recommend Rocket French for busy people who doesn't have the time to attend regular classes. Its much cheaper and much more available.

This curriculum is good...better than the R.S. course. I am able to learn Italian at my own pace, in my spare time, and I can listen to courses while commuting. I appreciate how the curriculum forces conversation, which aides in faster learning. I bought the first Rocket Italian course and I have used it for hundreds of hours. What a great value! I will be buying the next 2 courses soon!

Great program and applications that apply listening, repeating into a recorder and writing. It is thorough and really helpful for a beginner such as myself. It also allows me to go at my own pace, which is helpful as it gives me an opportunity to slowly build a foundation that I can expand on in my own time as I build confidence. I am very happy with the Spanish Module.

Great Spanish course! I appreciate the ability to move at my own pace. Spanish courses in high school were adversely affected by students who were not motivated to learn Spanish. As a result, it was an inefficient use of time. It also required my attendance miles from where I lived. My Spanish classes from Rocket Languages are mostly in my living room and they are conducted whenever I decide class should be in session. The software for Rocket Language Spanish is also effective on my iPhone and I found the phone version to be very user friendly.
In college, the Spanish classes moved too fast, and frankly, I never could catch up. I never had time to go back and sufficiently learn a topic as "the class" was moving at the speed that the professor determined was necessary. That speed was always faster than what I could handle. With Rocket Language Spanish, I can pause the pace of a chapter and stay on a topic which I am having difficulty with, such as a pronunciation, and then when I am satisfied I have grasped the topic as best as I can, I can then return to complete the rest of the chapter. Fantastic! You can't do that in a group class.
I also enjoy the constant (and repeatable) mini phonetic prompts that accompany all lessons.

Rocket Japanese is super easy to use, and I would say that I learned better with Rocket Japanese than I ever did with Rosetta Stone. It is super easy to follow the instructions, and the leaderboard they have really appeals to my competitive side.

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.
