Rocket Languages Reviews

The Software is very interactive and the instructors use clear pronunciation, which can be a problem in the competitors products. Personally I listen to one or two lessons a day on my way to class, but I also repeat the same lessons on the way back. This style is a little more time consuming, but I've noticed my retention of the phrases and ability to understand the dialogue has been increased drastically.

Rocket Record is a great way for me to practice my pronunciation. Since I am more of an "understand it to learn it" type learner, I supplement Rocket Spanish with other sources of grammar, but those sources don't afford me the opportunity to listen-repeat-evaluate that Rocket Record does.

Big fan of the product, especially the multi-device experience. The application does a nice job of staying in sync, so I can switch over to my mobile when on the go in any spare time and continue my learning.

The feedback loop (recording, confirming, listening) has prove very helpful with my pronunciation. This is especially important for me as my wife and her church are all Native Russian Speakers.

Comprehensive but sometimes doesn't fit my learning style. What i liked, the new role play feature, speaking and the writing practice. What I don't like , the long and often tedious practice sessions (how many times do i have to say "Hola, Amy", especially for the grammer sections which could have more helpful learning examples rather than rote learning phrases. This is especially necessary for difficult topics like object pronouns. Vocab layout is not as good as Duolingo.
The dialogues are good, well explained and generally relevant. Overall its not bad but thinking of switching to an AI style of learning.

These types of programs are new for learning languages and being new they have to be created with hard work so with each new feature we get a better learning experience for the next language. I'm happy to support RocketLanguages by purchasing new language modules. I'm happy to provide them with feedback because they appreciate it. Thank you for the first edition iOS interfaces and thank you for the ability to search through all the lessons for interesting topics to review and thank you for continuing to add and improve. I like the badge system, the forums, the motivational musings, the new dashboard, the ability to download pdf and mp3 formats to use offline. And most of all, I like the animated people that record the lessons. I find the German lessons I am doing now just as fun as the French.

Great work. Thank you.

It is good so far. Just have to be consistent and diligent with my progress.

While I am enjoying, and learning from Rocket language I have two major gripes. 1) Many of the conversations are between to native English speakers who do not pronounce like native Germans (Which is the goal of language learning) and the audio "lesson" can get rather tedious and forced sounding. 2) On many of the conversations, when you "play as..." if the person laughs, moans, chuckles, or makes other noncommittal noises, you still must sound exactly like they do to pass that section, even though I can intentionally mispronounce words in hard mode and it will pass me to the next section otherwise.

Rocket German is a very addicting (in a good way) course! It is no effort at all to do the lessons. My son, who completed two years of high school German and three years of college German can't believe how fast I've gotten the point of being able to have a conversation with him. We both try to speak German as much as possible around the house just for fun. We plan on traveling to Germany in about two years, and I can't wait to try out my new language skills!

I have looked for quite some time for a French program that would help me practise my skills and I have to say I am very impressed with this program. You don't even realize that you are absorbing the language, and by the end of the lesson you are amazed with what you remember!

I love this program and I have tried many. It’s one of the few that I have actually stuck with. The repetition of hearing, voice recording and writing really help. I also like that I can easily see where I am in the course and my progress.
