Rocket Languages Reviews

I have enjoyed Rocket Spanish. The lessons are excellent to listen to and I feel like I am understanding the Spanish language much better.
Rocket Spanish has been a good investment to help me learn Spanish.

When I first started learning Italian, I thought long and hard before purchasing an online learning package. I did a serious amount of research, but kept coming back to the same option. Don't get me wrong there are some really useful free courses/utilities out there, but in my opinion nothing is as comprehensive as Rocket Italian. That said, it's still worthwhile to use other apps/utilities in conjunction with this course. The more you can immerse yourself in your new language the better!

With Rocket Italian, I especially like the way all aspects of learning a new language are taught and consolidated. Using different written, spoken, listening and flashcard testing. If you're true to yourself when learning, and don't cheat, the tools provided are excellent. It's also a good idea to go back and repeat lesson's on a regular basis to confirm that you're remembering what you've been taught.

On top of that I think Rocket Italian is competitively priced and you get quite a bit for your money. With all said though, you'll only get your moneys worth if you're willing to stick at it and put the effort in to learning your chosen language.

Overall Rocket Spanish has been outstanding. I like how they teach Spanish and how they use the previous lessons to build upon the next lesson. I like the review at the end of each lesson to help reinforce what you learned. I also like the fact that the words are shown in the lesson. Seeing how the word is written helps me to pronounce the word correctly.

I wish there was a way to click on additional information within the lessons about certain words and their use such as Estoy vs Soy and Eres vs Estas. I had to Google those words to understand when it is appropriate to use them so that I would understand and remember.

I started using the phone app and playing the lessons through my car speakers as I'm driving. I love having that capability.

After looking (and trying) the other well known online learning resource, I decided to try Rocket Spanish. It was an excellent decision. Each lesson is not too long, and that makes it easy to maintain a good pace. I like that they make sure to have me practice the writing and reading parts of the language, not just the conversational aspect. I love the lifetime access, which is something that is not offered by the other online learning resource. All in all, I'm very happy so far with my decision.

I love Rocket Italian. I had studied Italian on my own for a few years. I am older so I did not learn it quickly, but I had made good progress. I had used Rosetta Stone and college workbooks I had purchased online. But there were definitely things I needed help with. Rocket Italian has helped me with pronunciation, increased my vocabulary, and helped with the proper use of prepositions and certain verbs. Prepositions can be incredibly confusing. This program is filling in all the blanks I needed help with before. I love the humor. I love the explanations of word usage I hadn't gotten before in my studies.
I rated it all 5's. I don't know if I will ever want to learn another language, but if I did, I would buy Rocket Italian. Having said that, I would also use Rosetta Stone again. Rocket Italian was the perfect addition and exactly what I needed. And if I wanted to give a gift to a grandchild who is learning a language, I would buy Rocket Italian. And I would recommend it to a friend.
The price was reasonable I thought. I bought it when it was on sale. I am getting my money's worth.
I have not really used the customer service. I called once. The person was nice.

I'm learning much more than I thought was possible online and having a good deal of fun Rocket Languages really gave me the tools to succeed with my new language .I love the way the process tests you not only on your memory but also on your enunciation of the language. Many times my intonation is not what it should be and the system catches it. Thank you Rocket Language

I am truly enjoying this language learning program. I like that the audio lessons involve you and make you come up with the answers on your own before supplying them to you. I feel that this is really helpful because that is the hardest part for me when speaking Spanish. I am starting to be able to understand spoken conversation better, but have a hard time coming up with the words myself. I feel very inadequate at times because I say Si a lot and not much else at this point. But, I know that progress takes time and reviewing the flash cards every day really helps and I like that you can put them into categories of hard, good and easy and then you can just review the hard ones. I like that you can measure your progress along the way, I like the scoreboard that keeps things interesting and you can see how you compare to other learners. I really like everything about this course. Living abroad in Panama is definitely helpful because I hear spoken Spanish on the daily, but I believe that with a lot of effort this course would also be great for people that don't have as much exposure. There are so many ways to get that elsewhere through music or TV shows. Netflix has so many shows that have Spanish subtitles. Anyway, I highly encourage everyone to get this course! Oh, and I also use Rosetta Stone. I like the combination of the two programs, but if I could only get one I would purchase this one over Rosetta.

Rocket Spanish really holds your hand to get you learning. And when you slack-off, up pops an email to get you going again. I practice here and then test myself on my long-suffering Spanish neighbours!

I started with the French course 10 days ago. I struggled to learn french in school but am finding this a much more pleasant and effective approach. Like the focus on spoken french with the gradual introduction of grammar rules. I found the lessons engaging and the right amount of information to absorb at one go - and the various supporting tools (dialogues. reviews, flashcards, etc). are all helpful in reinforcing the initial learning. I had to travel to Brussels and after a week of study I had the confidence to engage in basic dialogues in French - honestly! Compared to French language lessons I think it offers good value for money.

Only downsides are that only the lessons are downloadable and you need to be online to use other resources. Also if you don't have chrome a lot of the features like voice recognition are unavailable. No use of customer service - should be a N/A option on the star ratings.

The introductory lesson was very well done. The host and teacher have pleasant voices, speak clearly and intelligibly and seem enthusiastic. The instructions were clear and the method promotes retention of proper words and pronunciation. I enjoyed the lesson and look forward to improving my Italian vocabulary and pronunciation as we prepare for a visit to Italy next year. I think these lessons will enable me to learn Italian while exercising, a real “win win” as I get ready for lots of walking in the beautiful cities and towns of Italy (where I have no plans to attempt driving an automobile).
