From a desk top computer or iPad / iPhone (App is free) you can study anywhere anytime. All work from your platforms are captured/saved. Customer support is super. Quick helpful responses. A great product at a great price. Take advantage of the savings
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

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 purchased Rocket Spanish after watching a close friend communicate in Spanish, 2 months after he had purchased the program. He motivated me to buy it because of his rapid progression without a background in the language. He went on a trip to Colombia and flew to multiple airports, caught taxis, exc...Now we have become accountability partners and endeavor to practice a lesson daily. When we meet up, we tell each other about what we learned or struggle with.
This program helps me to practice aloud in Spanish at least 10 minutes a day due to the length of the lessons and the ability to track my progress. This is the everyday Spanish that I need between my other college studies. I have recommended it to all of my classmates, multiple professors, and pastor. The lessons incorporate applicable, real-life situations (birthdays, vacations, eating, working) that focus on conversational use of the language. I have already purchased levels 2 & 3. I think Rocket Languages is a great program and learning platform!

I researched several language courses and decided on Rocket Languages. I tried the trial offer and the price was very reasonable, so I purchased all three levels. I must say that I have truly enjoyed my first two months of Rocket Italian.

The program keeps me motivated which I believe is very important. If I ever try to learn another language I would definitely buy Rocket Language and I would highly recommend it to friends.

The accent is laughable. As in, my spanish friends couldn't stop laughing. It's Mexican spanish, in a bad accent. The plays and lessons are mired in stereotypes, sexist, and awful. As far as actually learning Spanish goes, I'm struggling on with it, but I can't say it's really helped so far. Hopefully it will start sticking, but having spent six weeks in Madrid recently, I didn't feel this course helped me at all, and I was still struggling with even the most basic conversations. There doesn't seem to be any background to the lessons, or intricacies of the verbs and their conjugations, which are just brushed over.
I've paid for it now, so will keep persevering for the moment, but I regret the purchase.

I have many programs such as Francais Authentique, Fluenz French, Rosetta Stone, etc., but I like Rocket programs because it allows me to practice to listen and talk. You can learn grammar by books but getting accustomed to French and actually to voice some phrases, this is very good. I would like to listen to TV5 or RFI and understand them with ease some day.

Overall, I've enjoyed the Rocket German product. It would be very helpful to have a set of audio control buttons (play/pause/rewind 3 sec) positioned directly beneath the Quick Settings on the left margin of the web page for the interactive lessons. When I listen to the interactive lessons on a computer, I constantly have to scroll from the line in the lesson back to the top of the page to pause/replay a word/phrase. Similarly, a rewind 3 sec button on the phone version is desperately needed. Lastly, I would like to see a video option for the Language & Culture Lessons. Reading through all of this is a little dry. I want to watch/hear an instructor saying these words/phrases. Thanks

I was always fascinated by Chinese culture and language and thats why i decided to purchase Rocket Languages. I payed for this course 5 years ago but unfortunately as soon as i completed lesson 1 too many things came up in my life that i had to stop. Now 5 years later i decided to come back to it (luckily i had written the password) because my passion for Chinese was still there. Anyway I give Rocket Languages a highly recommended review because it really makes it easy for you to follow. The ability to record and compare conversations is awesome. Its like you are talking to someone in real life. Also they make it really fun to learn by playing games, doing quizzes and even final module tests to see how good you have become. Definitely recommend rocket languages, best one i have found online.

I have really enjoyed learning Japanese with Rocket Languages. It is a real challenge but the course gave me the confidence to travel solo to Japan earlier this year. I was really pleased to have a basic knowledge as there were plenty of occasions when no English was spoken. Rocket Languages also gave me an understanding of Japanese culture which is very different. It is an amazing country and I plan to continue my studies to improve my Japanese ready for a return visit. I like the broad approach of the course, using spoken and written Japanese. I struggled initially with the hiragana keyboard but Customer Service was able to point out where I was going wrong and the more I use it the easier it gets. Including elements of grammar is very useful and makes it easier to understand the structure of a language that is quite different from English. It is a very well-structured course.

I like the approach especially since it has been updated and revised. I took about 2 mos off for travel in Italy. The early lessons and practice using through Rocket Italian was very helpful and added a lot of enjoyment to the trip.
