Rocket Languages Reviews

A big grazie to Maria and Alex for the easy going way of teaching! I like the length of each lesson, 15-20 min, so you can easily squeeze into your daily schedule. Like the Rocket review before each new lesson. The interactive web features are so helpful. I also like Maria teaching grammar bits & pieces, instead of long boring lecture. I am in lesson 1.4, just love Rocket!

I am thoroughly enjoying the learning process and look forward to continuing with the process. Hopefully soon I will have made substantial improvement or laid important foundations for further progress.

I love this course, and highly recommend it to anyone at any age! I am finding it so much easier to learn the beautiful Italian language with the way this course is set up. It gives me the opportunity to spend as long as I need to on any given lesson to perfect the pronunciation and feel comfortable speaking a new language. Bravo, Rocket italian and grazie!

So far I've had no problems with this program mi novia is mexican and this program gives me a chance to try and learn more spanish so I can communicate better with her family and be more educated in their culture, it's awesome!

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.

Overall this is a very good program.
*I compare this with DuoLingo online learning as well as a personal coach I use with Verbling. Also against Babble
which I used for 6 months.
*Price is kind of high but it is for a complete program so I'm neutral on this rating.
*Lessons are interesting. I could use less of the banter but still, very good content when focused on actual language
skills. Of great importance to me are the moderators speaking in a clear and moderate speed. Rocket delivers on
this!
* Now to my most concerning (to me) knock...Some of the exercises are terribly long in the Language and Cultural
sections. It's not uncommon to have 50, 60 or greater than 70 words, phrases or sentences to learn, memorize and
recite back. Personally, I get very frustrated when i fail due to sheer volume of material. Knowing how difficult and
frustrating these exercises are, I have to fight the urge to simply by-pass these sections. Reducing the volume within
Language and Cultural modules would be a huge plus for me.

I am very happy with the Rocket French course. I have tried Rosetta Stone and was able to learn vocabulary, but I couldn't speak in sentences. Rocket French has helped me to speak in sentences and actually carry on conversations.

Just started the trial on Tuesday - comparing Rocket to a few other language courses I have sampled. So far, I am impressed! Within the next few days I must make a decision on which one to purchase - leaning heavily towards Rocket!

I am satisfied with the service and I have a suggestion what can be improved further. I like the idea of a comprehensive course available at any time. What I miss is downloadable audios - not the dialogues, but the phrases. The phrases are extremely important and helpful in learning a language. I could easily skip dialogues (I don't), let alone those long 25-minute audios with lots of talk in English (enjoyable but mostly waste of time to be honest, too much of unnecessary chatter). So far I have been sitting in front of my monitor for hours to learn the language, staying focused which is a key to learning. But this is such a luxury which you only enjoy in rare periods during your annual cycle. Most of the time you end up downprioritising the language course due to other urgences. I could use recorded phrases - all of them in a lesson or, even better, those I mark with a star for my own collection which also is a nice service - to listen to them while I have no time to sit down at my desk.

I like the interactive part it really helps with memory. So far the voice recognition has been really annoying, maybe because im a perfectionist and when it wont record correctly I cant move on. Also I have not had any grammar lesson on conjugations. If i hadnt had a background in Spanish I think I would be a little lost by now.
