Rocket Languages Reviews

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 find the content of each lesson is very practical and not too overwhelming. I enjoy being able to re-listen as many times as I like and to compare my voice to a native speaker. I also like the fact that the Chinese script is included every time. The cultural tips are incredibly useful and interesting. The writing section is great where you can watch every stroke being written. It includes all aspects needed to learn a language. Thank you Rocket Languages!

Watashi wa supuni desu kara Sri Laka . At first I knew only a few words in Japanese but now I am some what confident with this language . Kore Wa kawaii to sugoi desu!!!This did help me a lot . Domo arigato gozimasu... I love this ......

First of all, In the middle of exercises (as I'm trying to speak a German phrase) I get annoying popup windows asking me to write a review of Rocket German. I think that's pretty indicative of how much Rocket cares about me actually learning, an how much it just wants more business. In fact, just above this box where I'm typing, Rocket has a link to some "example reviews" which are glowing reports of how when you buy RG, all your wildest fantasies will come true. Since RG insists, though, here is my review...***

Right after I paid $250 dollars for the three German courses (the first of which I didn't even want, but you have no option to remove it from the bundle) I get directed to another page telling me I should really also buy another add-on course that normally costs $50, but they're going to give it to me for $30. Classic used-car salesman tactic. I decline. I'm directed to another page saying "Ok, we'll give it to you for $20, but only if you buy it right now. No kidding, this is your last chance!" Does it get any more sleazy than that?***

The German course was clearly written by native German speakers, which is good, but not really checked by a native English speaker for the quality of the English dialogue.

The thing I like most about Rocket Language is that it is audio based so you are actually speaking the language. Unlike other products that use this method it has tons of additional content and the price is not too high.

Rocket Spanish is well organized and fairly easy to use. I definitely like the experience and the process. HOWEVER - They are very wishy-washy with the meanings of phrases. In an effort to teach you different phrases to say the same thing, the designers forget that words have meaning. For example, early in the lessons you discuss someone's job. They tell you that the question, "What do you do?" can be asked ?Que haces?, which is correct. Unfortunately, they also tell you that you can say, ?En que trabajas?, which is not correct. That phrase means, "What is your work?". It may sound like I'm knit-picking, bc in the context of the conversation, either phrase will do, but it is confusing when I don't know what you are asking for. In the testing, it asks me to say in Spanish "What do you you?", but it says that I was incorrect bc I responded ?Que haces?. - WHICH IS CORRECT!! The designer of the course wanted me to say ?En que trabajas?. The student isn't a mind reader, and when he/she tries to apply the words learned, it is easy to get confused. Again, words have meaning. It is lazy to say that it is "close enough", when it is in-fact no where near what you are trying to say.

I think this would be the best choice for you guys who wants to learn korean. They have the well structure for the beginner. And now my friend and I are using this learning system together, it helps us to figure out how to pronounce the correct accent in korean.

It's actually useful and good than I thought. I decided to buy Rocket courses according to friend's advice, and I have no regret. I will learn spanish and french with rocket after I will complete english course.

I love learning Spanish and this course is awesome for it! One problem is that I have a hard time finding time to go through an entire audio lesson since they are so long, so I haven't done many of them. Otherwise, it is really nice! The forum is very handy if I have questions. Keep up the good work! Muchas gracias, Shan

Probably would've been helpful if I planned to visit Spain I was look ing for more every day con versation less about the continents / oceans some thing more that woul help full I every day conversations I live&work in a spanish speaking environment and woul of appreciated more phrases I'd say the course as is was n't for me

Some what disappointed:-:
