Rocket Languages Reviews

It's a wonderful multi-sensory language program. The audio program is "superbe'. MERCI. I believe it's the best feedback a language learner can have. My oral language skills have improved, as a result. I am more confidant in my speaking ability. Other aspects of the program are equally good. I definitely recommend this program, no matter one's language level.

Just starting out. Some problems. Recorded words and phrases not always clear and can't slow them down to hear certain nuances usually having to do with consonants. The hangeul lists the Names of the characters and has recorded pronunciation, but the pronunciation of the character as it is used is only listed in English with no guide as to pronunciation. for instances whether the 'g' sound is a soft g as in 'gentle' or a hard 'g' as in guest. My native speaking Korean frined has criticized the overall recorded pronunciations as a little less than realistic.

I like the idea of the course, but I find it too cumbersome to use on a regular basis. Firstly, I practice at home in the evenings and it is disruptive for me to be speaking aloud continuously. Half the time this feature does not work for me, likely because I have slow internet. It also absolutely cannot understand me when I say the word "enchilada" even though I am 99% sure I am pronouncing it correctly. Secondly, the rating system is really annoying and I do not understand it at all. I would like to be able to run through lessons without having to click on a rating (I also have yet to figure out what "so so" and "good" mean). Clicking a rating after every single answer makes me take my hand off of the keyboard to reach the mouse to click, when it would be much quicker and simpler to be able to just hit 'enter' to go to the next phrase or word. This is especially annoying during the typing practice, which also requires the use of a virtual keyboard to type special characters. There should be keyboard shortcuts for these, it takes an inordinate amount of time to find the characters and select the right one for very short words.

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 .

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.

I was happy with Rocket French in the beginning but as I am now in lesson 6 I find it extremely frustrating. I cannot remember 2-3 phrases and then say them quickly enough. I am constantly being cut off in mid sentence, and no I haven't paused, and the voice recognition is not very good.

Rocket Italian is great! I've tried many other programs and prefer Rocket to them all. The mix of activities and resources just plain works for me. By the end of the first trial day I was hooked.

Rocket Languages seems to be a way to help a learner to developing a courant vocabulary and sentences of daily usage structures of the Mandarin language.
I enjoyed working with the sound tracks during the time I have free for my language study. I am also happy that I have my lessons so that I may go over all of them once or twice again, when I fell the time to do so.

I'm having so much fun learning the language of my parents and grandparents. I didn't learn Italian growing up as my parents wanted to be American. When they got older they regretted not having taught us. But it's never too late to learn. I took 4 years of French in high school, so some of this is a bit familiar to me, however that was many years ago. Thank you for making this so much fun.

I like everything so far on the trial membership, except for the "rating" task that forces you to rate each word of the flashcards. It's tedious and who knows how to categorize each word anyways? The modules are fun!
