Rocket Languages Reviews

Very happy because it is easy for learn, i learn to pronounce better.

I used Pimsleur courses before. This is equally as good, but I am using exclusively in a car. The Pimsleur is better in a car as the lessons automatically come on to the next lesson and the program keeps track of where you are and Apple CarPlay controls work better than Rockets. The arocketvwoukd be better if it were seamless to a CarPlay experience. Also the review words should keep repeating in several lessons to make it easier to remember, rather than only one review time in the following lesson. Multiple repeats help sear it in my brain. For these reasons, Pimsleur works better for me.

Moderators Note: Thanks for the feedback, Ivan. You can use Rocket courses in a similar way by using the iOS app, downloading the Interactive Audio lessons to your app for offline usage, and then playing those sequentially. I hope that helps. All the best from the Rocket Languages team.

Bueno, it's strange that Rocket is asking me for a review when I am only using the trial lesson. However, I can say that after three years of struggling to learn Spanish and not getting very far, this feels right. I have used DuoLingo, Fluencia and Synergy Spanish in the past, as well as a mixture of discovered things like Youtube videos and SpanishDict. The best is Synergy Spanish, but this is like Synergy Spanish on steroids. The listening, the speaking, the explanations, and the repetition in each lesson really feels like it is right on for a good learning experience. I also love they they allow a free trial without demanding a credit card first. I absolutely abhor companies that do that and do not do business with them. The free trials allowed me to discover that I need to start at level 2, which I will buying shortly.

It’s great. I have to listen a few times to take in but I'm old! It’s not so facile. I love the oral, audio, written all at the same time. The words stick. Cultural comments good. I have to get back to my lesson!

I have used Rosetta Stone and Berlitz in the past to become comfortable with Italian and German before trips. I found both of those much easier than Rocket. The English accent of the narrator makes it hard to follow, and the pace is very slow, which leads me to get distracted mid-lesson.

It is too frustrating. It doesn’t always understand what I am saying, even if I am saying it correctly. I don’t think I should have to know every ñ, é, á etc. when I am writing. It takes way too long. Need to shorten the lessons. I haven’t been doing them b/c I get too frustrated when it doesn’t understand me.

I signed up for Rocket to learn Italian, and learn it quickly. So far, so good! I appreciate the useful phrases as well as the approach to vocabulary. They use a mix of words that are both similar to as well as completely different to their English equivalent. I also like how they use repetition, without making it seem repetitious :) I feel like I am learning proper pronunciation, spelling and understanding with this program!

Lessons are useful, and the audio playback is great for checking accuracy of the dialect. I use this every day, and I haven't grown tired of it.

I enjoyed the practice and my ability to review the lessons.

This course is an excellent supplement for a regular language course I'm taking. Rocket Language provides an opportunity for me to get lots of targeted pronunciation and speaking practice that's missing from the other course. Being able to record my voice and immediately compare it to that of a native speaker is tremendously helpful. It is improving my phonological processing, speaking speed, pronunciation, and listening comprehension. I access this course for free through my local library.
