Rocket Languages Reviews

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.

Great for gaining some confidence with spoken Italian at both slow, learning speed, and then the real machine-gun speed that Italians actually speak at. Grammar feeds in fairly painlessly. I also like reading the dialogue as it is spoken.

Been using Rocket for nearly 2 months and very happy with this product which recognizes all types of skill sets and whose systems reinforce the learning (retention). I'm weaker in pronunciation so the microphone set-up helps a lot and the flexibility helps me keep going with it. Growing in knowledge and confidence and it suits me 11%. All good, no suggestions for improvement or negatives.

Rocket Review has been a great review for my oral midterm coming up in Chinese. The speaking aspect is especially helpful as that is currently my weakest area. I am also able to get an idea of where I stand, and the rating system helps me to figure out what else I need to work on.

I love this program. It is way better than the other competitors and less expensive. the only thing is grammar sections. If they are enriched more this is a flawless program. Speech recognition and forum are two wonderful ideas. Anyway can you add Turkish language too? That is an important language.

First of all thanks to Rocket languages,a very good website for learning foreign languages. I'm very happy for opting it to learn one of favorite languages.all the sessions provided here are interactive,informative.

Very easy to follow along and progress through lessons once you get the hang of it. Best feature is recordable phrases --you listen to the native then speak yourself then listen to how you sound--cant even get that in French class! Desktop much better than phone app unfortunately so stick w desktop till they make it easier to progress to next lesson!

Rocket is an enjoyable and intuitive system. The ability to repeat lessons until I am satisfied with the level of progression is a very positive approach. Traveling in France is becoming easier every day as I learn more from Rocket French

I found the 'rocket record' function very useful once I had worked out how to keep the recording function in play (changed my search engine to google chrome from firefox as the flashplayer kept crashing. I love the fact that the lessons go straight into practising sentences and phrases in French, now I just have to be disciplined enough to do a little everyday.

For the most part, I do like the course. It is an easy and enjoyable way to learn. I am taking the Italian course.

My only MINOR COMPLAINT SO FAR is the specificity of some of the lessons. In Module 3 of the Premium Basic Course, the first 2 lessons are waaaay too narrowly focused. The first concerns a trip to Mount Vesuvius with conversation about walking around the volcano's crater and how cold it will be on the summit(!) - a dialogue I really can't imagine most ordinary travelers having much need for, and the second deals with a certain Italian liquor called Limoncello. I skipped the bulk of the conversation portion of those lessons, except for a phrase or two. The extra vocabulary sections also had some benefit.

Now I understand that sprinkling a little culture, geography, and traditional customs is an attempt to broaden the course's appeal, but I'd personally find the lessons much more useful if they conveyed more common everyday requests and conversations. For example: asking where to buy a newspaper, rent/park a car, ordering a beer/glass of wine/soda and leaving a tip, chatting about the weather or someone's family, or complimenting/discussing another's clothes, jewelry, home, etc.

Perhaps that's just me, though. However, up until those 2 lessons, I felt what I was learning had broader adaptability and usefulness.
