Rocket Languages Reviews

I'm learning ASL and I just got to the numbers part- I was shocked to see that numbers 1-5 are wrong! Numbers 1-5 are always signed with the palm facing in, not out. If they got something so simple wrong, it makes me a little worried about how much they really know the language. Was this course designed by hearing or Deaf people?

I love the idea of learning a new language by virtual communication and opportunity to be tested after each lesson. The best of all I find the "know it- say it" column as you are being asked to repeat sentences you are struggling with! I have just started with 'The Rocket German' and must say its absolutely refreshing with its unique approach to learning!

It’s well structured and helps me a lot! So far good for complete beginners! Yeah it’s really cool and nice!! I'll recommend it to my friends :)

This is the second time I've used Rocket Languages to learn a language! I love that it's interactive and the audio sessions are great for when I'm at the gym or walking to work. I also like that it challenges you to understand what a native speaker is saying as I find that's the hardest part of communicating when I'm traveling.

I like the fact that you kept trying to contact me when I asked you to call. Also that you rang when you said you would. You were very helpful on the phone to get oriented and started on the course. It is good to know the support is there. I am finding the course well structured, well thought through and encouraging to learn.

I'm just at a beginner's level, but so far I like the lessons. I searched for a long time for a Korean program online. The program is very useful because it includes not only a language section but also lessons on writing skills. Other systems only teach you the vocabulary use in everyday life but nothing more. It is user friendly. With just a click you can view all the lessons and you don't have to use different CD's or books. The system is very organized, with every part having images, audio, and written sections. I have used other programs to learn different languages, but this one is the best so far. I like that you have the opportunity to interact with someone if any problem arises with the lessons. It is great that it has a test section were you can really review your progress. The survival kit section is very useful. The Rocket Fuel emails are a good way to keep track of new things and make you remember that if you want your learning experience to be effective you have to practice constantly. I will definitely recommend this program to anyone who really wants to learn Korean.

I"ve been trying for some time now to learn Hindi: reading books and trying to engage friends who are Hindi speakers in conversation. It has been so difficult! Its not just pronunciation that is difficult but learning & remembering completely new words and grammar is tough. This program has plenty of variety and being able to come back again & again to the lessons means I can work at my own pace. There is very little useful out there for learning Hindi, it all seems to be focused on languages such as Spanish or French. So good so far!

Fast, simple and practical, yet I feel after only one lesson I've learned a lot!

I hate the points and streaks function and you have provide no ability to switch off!

I am preferring the Pimsleur system far more.

Salut!
My first impressions:
1. I find very useful to have access to my "learning field" from anywhere, because I'm always on the run. It is my first experience (and 4-th language) of learning online.
2. I'm very impressed with Vocabulary feature. Using it a lot.

What I miss so far:
3. Some sort of verb conjugation drill.

Thanks!
