Rocket Languages Reviews

Overall Rocket Italian is a pretty good system. You get exposed to the language in a variety of ways and have some explanation as to why a particular pattern exists.

It does have the problem that there is only one correct answer for each thing. This of course ignores the fact that many things can be said in slightly different ways. As an example the phrase "She is angry" technically can be said as either "Lei è arrabbiata" OR "È arrabbiata" however the only accepted answer is "È arrabbiata". In other places an answer is only accepted if it has a he/she indicator.

There are also numerous places where the English phrase refers to you plural but for some strange reason they have not realized that _every_ place they do that needs some kind of indicator that they mean you plural rather than you singular since English only has 'you'.

Overall the issues with Rocket Italian aren't that big but they make it feel more like you are memorizing lines in another language rather than learning another language. The dialogues are the worst for this as they slowly take away more of the words you are supposed to say but you have to say the phrase word for word to get it right even though there are times when you could get the same meaning across with slightly different words. (They really should package the dialogue portion so that it can be used by actors memorizing lines as that is what it does.)

I spent two semesters studying Spanish and could understand half of a conversation but I could not speak more than a few words. The interactive lessons helped me become more confident in speaking Spanish without becoming embarrassed in front of others when I messed up. It was just what I was looking for to help me progress in learning and speaking Spanish.

Thank you for offering a Free Trial for Rocket French. I tried 2 other programs and was not happy with either. The trial you offered was in-depth and long enough to get a true feel for how much I can learn. It convinced me to purchase the first set...then when your Black Friday special of 60% off became available, I am purchasing your whole 3-package set - thank you! The format RocketFrench offers is excellent, with Audio listening/speaking/playback, repetition, writing, flashcards, and review - very in-depth! It is also great to have two different accents (Claire & Paul), and the ability to change from easy - medium - difficult settings. Also, with the purchase of the whole set, I am thrilled I will have 24//7 access forever, and the ability to go back and review past lessons at any time. I highly recommend this language format - THANK YOU ROCKET LANGUAGES!

By far the best language learning app out there! It feels like I'm learning another language in school.

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

Rocket German is a great German learning course. The lessons cover the most common life situations, although sometimes more examples of different variations of the same situation would be nice. I like that there are two indicators how well you know a certain lesson ("hear it", "learn it"), which is useful for tracking to your progress.

This is one of the tools that every French learner should have, it has kept me interested to learn it, and I have noticed how well I can keep a conversation and read articles in this language, thanks to that I have more friends who are French speakers. Thanks Rocket Languages and keep improving your tools, I love them!

I tried to learn Italian multiple times over several years. Each time using products that taught vocabulary, but not really grammar or sentences. I like Rocket's approach of combining the different elements, and get you to speak as well. It really helps to learn the language.

Very friendy interface. Now i'm learning my fifth language with rocket. Enjoing accessibilty. Mobile version helps greatly. Thanks. My son likes rocket too. Maybe it would be helpful to add more verb drills.

Need to tell you that the customer services has not been used so therefore I cannot comment, I really like the programme but due to circumstances I havent had too much time to get involved with the programme to make a difference, however this will be changing now and I look forward to working on a daily basis which is what it deserves. thank you .
