Rocket Languages Reviews

I have had a technical problem with Rocket French for over a month now. I cannot play the audio files of ALL interactive lessons, and that is on several different devices. The support team has not been able to fix it for me, and their response rate is too slow. I'm regretting having bought the product, because it is useless for me if I'm unable to use it. And it means that i threw my money on the drain. I now asked them to reimburse me for my money if they cannot fix their technical issues, and they haven't replied to me yet. As usual their response takes at least THREE days. I'm getting extremely mad, to be quite honest!

Amazing. I learnt some useful words with less time and effort. Good work. keep it up. i thought learning hindi would be tough job. But when i used rocketlanguage, i came to conclusion that what i thought was wrong. Because this site has hepled me in such a way that it made my job very easy.

I have been so impressed with the learning experience with Rocket French. I've learnt more in three months than I did in six years at school (I got a 'C' at GCSE). The lessons are interactive enough to feel like I'm really gaining practical experience of the language, and the badge and points system keeps me motivated to practise every day.
I'm just starting the third module of level two and I feel like I'm well beyond where I was at school.
I've done hours of lessons so far and repeated some lessons to make sure everything is really sinking in. I recommend this as you'll find that repeating lessons a few times makes new stuff stick in your head!

Love the Rocket Language course, I have tried many language courses and this one by far is the best. Very interactive, well structured and is good value for money. Another advantage is the access to the free trial. Definitely worth a try!

I am almost 75 years old and it's a long time since I did any study, but I'm finding this programme stimulating and user friendly. It is a good balance between the written and spoken word and combining it with little cultural snippets makes it more interesting and brings some reality into the learning. I would recommend it to anyone at any level.

I couldn't get past a few units on level 1 before I had to call it quits; Amy's Spanglish accent made it very difficult to stay focused and impeded comprehension. I don't know if using her, with a non-native accent, was a deliberate choice, but it didn't sit well with me, personally.
The program itself appears fairly comprehensive (covering all core skills in genuine contexts), but I was not a fan of the audio lessons and the narration.

Your application is not running on Android phone. Whenever I activated microphone, program stops. I tried to run iPhone but it needs iOS 10 later. I can not run on iPhone.
I tried to open on Android phone using Google Chrome. But I can not see repeat button and score buttons.
I tried to run on Macbook using chrome. I can see all elements play, microphone, score and customer voice repeat button.
But I can not replay my voice so I can not compare voices. Sometimes if score is 100% can record and replay my voice. Sometimes it can not record and produce performance result.
Your performance is too poor. Your system must analyse word by word. Your system must show word differences and can offer tools to advise pronunciation alternatives. Also I must listen my voice. Your system must record my voice.

Listening to the audio lessons is very boring. You hear someone saying something in Arabic, and then they tell you what it is in english with a little bit of filler and sometimes a lame joke. There's too much english speaking in between the arabic, and after listening to it I don't recall anything from it. I then started doing some of the other activities and they're all very basic. This is much less advanced than Rosetta Stone. Rosetta Stone doesn't choose the most useful phrases to teach you when you start off, but at least it reinforces what you are learning in an easy way to pick up the language without a lot of filler talk in the language you already speak (english in my case). It's hard to motivate myself to listen to more of these Rocket Arabic lessons because they are so boring.

I am so excited about this program. Very well done. Well explained. Easy to understand and practice. The teaching process is tailored in an easy to follow, logical way to learn ASL and to both practice, but as important turn off the sound and practice viewing another person sign to you. This helps to sign and read someone signing to yo EXCELLENT PROGRAM!

Very good set up and structure. However, my main complaint is that the conversations never really got increasingly complicated. Additionally, they did not include too wide a range of vocabulary. The audio is great for learning pronunciation but I feel like I spent a lot of time and did not learn as much as I could have say, through duolingo which is free. I would only recommend this program to people who have never studied a language before because it goes slow enough that it may be beneficial to get over the initial fears of learning a language. However, for people such as myself with a more developed linguistic background, I felt as if the dialogues did not advance very much and that I did not really leave learning as much as I could have if I spent the same amount of time with other resources.

I feel as if Rocket Languages needs to drastically alter the content of the dialogues to better suit them for "intuitive" grammar and vocabulary acquisition. That being said, the main structuring of the program I found to be fantastic and the native audio files also were superb.
