Rocket Languages Reviews

Enjoying it very much so far. Raised by Spanish mother, non-Spanish father. Have bits and pieces of the language, good pronunciation, needed something to seal the deal with :) this seems worth the money

This website certainly has improved in the past year. The 4 different types of tests really keep you thinking. I never would have pushed myself to try and write in French! I love listening to Paul and Claire and miss them in the premium plus version

I love the way lessons are broken down into manageable chunks. Also with the main focus being on spoken Italian in everyday useful situations rather than flash cards telling you the cat has a spoon! The customer support is brilliant too.

I started my German-speaking journey with Duolingo, which is great for a foundational base and expanding the basic vocabulary. I know predominantly use Rocket German, while maintaining Duolingo as a complementary vocabulary and a repetition resource.

Rockt Italian is very well designed. There is lots of repitition. Learning aids such as flash cards and the voice recording feature make this the best overall package I've found. The prompts in English, in which you are required to provide the correct word in Italian, cement the learning and highlight the words and phrases that haven't stuck. The biggest obstacle to learning is my own brain. After months, and hours of hours of practice, my progress in the real world is quite limited. I am recognizing more and more individual words and phrases. Things like numbers, days of the week, names of vegetables and products at the store, etc. are becoming familiar. However, I still cannot hold a simple conversation. But it's due to my facilty with learning a language, not the program. I mention this because there's no magical cure to learn a language. Lots and lots of practice and hearing the language in everyday transactions is the only way.

The only poorly-performing feature is the voice recordings in the practice exercises. I have a good headset with a microphone almost touching my mouth. It often doesn't work--the program can't pick up what I'm saying, or hears it wrong. There should be a built-in mic test in the program that lets you boost the levels and dial it in bettter. Or just a better recording module installed.

Enjoying Rocket Italian. The flow of the lessons is good. Both the website and the iOS apps are quite good. There are some minor usability issues worth noting. 1. I can't find a way to speed up the recorded lessons which would be helpful for me as I have some background in the language so the early lessons could be moved through faster. 2. The flow of the testing on the web pages is a little confusing. Not clear when you've finished a section and when you haven't. As such, the badges don't appear as completed when I think I have done so. All that being said, I'm learning a lot and enjoying the product. Glad I bought it.

I'm very happy with it thus far. Rocket French gives you a short podcast-type recording and follows it up with quizzes on what you just learned. The quiz types are varied too including pronunciation exercises, writing, and flashcards, which keeps it engaging and helps retention. I was able to get a decent discount from an affiliate also (still more expensive than other) but definitely well worth the price.

I also put 5 starts for customer service, but haven't had to interact with them at all at this point, though I wouldn't be concerned given how well organized everything seems to be.

I am very happy with the product so far, but I am only on the first lesson. The opportunity to practice pronunciation and then get rated on it wonderful feedback. I also like the opportunity to participate in both sides of the conversation....as both individuals. I try not to look at the screen and do this multiple times to ensure ease in conversation. Great product!

I purchased Rocket Languages to help me communicate with my family and friends that speak Spanish whether native speakers or ones that learned at some level of school. The program is easy to navigate. The games and audio lessons allow for revisits at any time for a refresher. The quizzes helps by checking to see if you understand what you just learned. The addition of the mobile app allows me to learn on the road. Rocket Languages has helped me get in touch with the Latin part of my ethnicity and helps me understand and enjoy the cultural experience more. I would recommend Rocket Language to any of my friends that would like to learn Spanish.

An effective online self-learning language website. I have tried other softwares like rosetta stone which is way more expensive than rocket languages. However, rocket languages is proven to be more effective in my opinion.
