I have been studying Spanish since high school however, I have not been able to comfortably carry on a conversation in Spanish. After using Rocket Spanish, I can more easily understand the native speakers around me. I am also able to carry short conversations with them.
It's refreshing to see something finally work for me. Thanks, Rocket Spanish!
Impressive site layout and audio pronunciation of words and phrases. Downloadable lessons are a real plus and are great for training on the go or while working out or riding my bike. The survival kit is a real bonus for focusing on specific areas or themes. Rocket will be a definitely be "value-added" in helping me to prepare for my move to Shanghai next year.
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.
I tried learning French using a CD set and books, but found the process slow and inflexible. With RF, I am able to vary the pace of learning and really focus on pronunciation. I also like the different forms of learning offered and the mix between conversational French and grammar. Well done on a great product!
Please can you let me know how I can use the keyboard in the "Write It" section? I am able to type some of the accents, but others are less obvious? Perhaps there are keystroke sequences that I need to learn?
Kind Regards

Response from Rocket Languages
At the bottom left of the keyboard there is a check box that, when checked, shows the different accents.
I would say Rocket Japanese has been the best self study aid for teaching myself Japanese . I have tried other Japanese learning aids like Books , audio files and other software , I can say for that Rocket Languages has a clear advantage , Its clean and simple layout with easy to follow instructions has been making it effective and comprehensive and user friendly .
I would highly recommend this product to others .
The audio lessons are presented very well. They are by far the best part of the program. The written tests and multiple choice tests work fine. The interactive voice tests are sometimes glitchy. As others have said, the website and iOS app can sometimes have issues. The iOS app is not as quite as fully functional as the website, but still pretty good. Overall, I'm happy with the program. I suspect it will continue to get better with time. I'm not disappointed with my purchase.

I have just started learning French by Rocket Languages. It's very good experience to learn and easy to understand. All the exercises are meaningful and joyful. both of you are giving good explanations. I really love this course and recommend to my friends.
I finally started using Rocket French properly and really like it. Each level is well presented and the various ways to practice and review the conversations are superb. Also all the bonus supplements such as the alphabet, numbers, telling the time are wonderful. I totally recommend Rocket Languages.
I have tried a number of different courses and approaches in my quest to learn Japanese. Books (Genki course), online resources (such as Busuu and Duolingo), purely listening based (Pimsleur) and software (Rosetta Stone). Together with the Genki course books, Rocket Japanese is by far the most comprehensive of them all. One gets to train different modes, like listening, speaking, writing and so on. The voice recognition seems to have some minor glitches, the overall impression is still very positive.
