Rocket Languages Reviews

Rocket German covers all the bases. It provides cultural tips, tips on grammar and pronunciation. What I especially love about Rocket German is the ability to practice multiple aspects of language-learning: listening to (and imitating) native speakers, using flashcards to check memory of words/phrases, writing words/phrases from dictation by native speakers, interacting in dialogue. In short, it is a one-stop language-learning experience. After an introductory lesson, there are so many tools provided for reinforcing that material that it is virtually impossible to leave a lesson without having that material firmly embedded in memory.

I have been studying French for the past 2 years. I always had difficulty with speaking the language. Rocket French has helped very much with my confidence in speaking the language. Rocket French has proven to be a fun way to improve my French language skills

Summary: It is most important to start SPEAKING a language as soon as possible to get comfortable with it. I think that Rocket does a decent job getting you ready with some key phrases, pronunciation, and review, but it overloads the learner with too much new vocabulary per lesson.

Format: I really like the audio format in a nice progressive pace and it's less 'cluttered' than the popular pod101 program. The review material is very well rounded, using audio, writing practice, spanish - english and english - spanish practice, plus flashcards (english - spanish).

Overall audio quality: Try the trial to hear them speak. Decide for yourself. In my opinion, Mauricio has a good accent and Carmen speaks slowly. Amy is a dork and I get a little tired of hearing her voice. Her Spanish makes me cringe. The "repeat after me" can be very rushed and I have to pause so that I get a chance to actually repeat a phrase.

Workload: The dialogues can be quite long (some almost 45 minutes!) and the practice has WAY too much vocabulary to absorb for one lesson. I'm currently doing a lesson in Level 2 that has 117 words.

I had issues at the beginning of my own errors but once customer support helped me I’m one happy camper so to speak. Love it. Very satisfied. Now back to learning - made easy. Awsome work putting this package together. Often feel for Sayaka & Kenny whose repeated translations & expiation are great for me but the level of work to put it tighter demands respect. どうもありがとうございました

I love Rocket Japanese. I am able to hear myself speak Japanese. Second, I like the flash cards because it helps reinforce the new words that I've learned. I also like that I have indefinite use of the courses that I have bought.

Estoy aprendiendo Espanol otra vez. I learned quite a bit from age 2 through high school, but I let it lapse for over 40 years. I wanted to pick back up efficiently and comprehensively. As I have worked through the first 7 lessons in Rocket Spanish, I am amazed with how much has come flooding back. It has been like opening a chest that has been in the attic for 40 years. The lessons so far have linked to age old lessons, and are causing me to remember Spanish at a rate that I didn’t think was possible for an old guy like me.
I would not only recommend Rocket Spanish to someone learning Spanish for the first time, but also for those who are familiar and for those whom Spanish is an old friend, long forgotten.

I'm really enjoying using Rocket French. The lessons are interesting and easy to follow. The language recognition is excellent and works well in both understanding and correction. The only small problem is that it doesn't sync well across my devices. It doesn't seem to recognise when I've completed a lesson on a different device. I'm sure this will be fixed with updates. Overall it's a fantastic learning tool.

I wish I knew about this service earlier.

I used Duolingo for over a year, and in the first hour of using Rocket French I saw things that never appeared in Duolingo once. This may seem absurd, but I am confident that Duolingo is largely composed of computer generated material. There is no other way they can provide so many courses with only ad revenue and still be profitable. Creating a language course requires a level of detail on par with designing a motorized scooter from the ground up. Though a scooter can be used by anyone from any walk of life; these courses have to be completely remade for each language.

That's why it's so expensive; the only way to make a language course is to spend a tremendous amount of time on it. There are no short-cuts; everything has to be handmade. You can tell they did this, as it is clear, understandable, and consistent. Outside of taking a class with a teacher, this is the best course you can get.

I am very impressed with Rocket Languages. Studying foreign language has been a passion of mine for twenty years and I'm always looking for useful study tools. I've tried in-person classes at Berlitz, Inlingua, Boston Language Institute and others. I've tried remote study from many popular courses including Berlitz, Pimsleur, DuoLingo, and Babbel. Rocket Languages is currently my go-to top choice for online language learning.
