Rocket Sign Language

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?

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Eileen - Thanks for your review! I just thought that I would let one of our Sign Language experts respond... "While it is true that simply counting the cardinal numbers 1-5 in ASL the numbers are done with the palm facing in, for most practical uses of the numbers in daily communication the palm faces out - for that reason they are shown this way in the lesson. For example, if you were to tell the time you would not sign 2:05 as "time 2:05" with your palm facing in - it would face out. Another example would be a phone number - no matter which number 1-9 ,the palm always faces out. Really, there are many different deep language rules connected with number usage - for example how you count days, weeks and months - which will be introduced and explained in later lessons. Some of team who contributed to this course grew up using ASL to communicate, others attended ITP programs and are RID certified, while others have been educators in the Deaf community for nearly 20 years. Thanks to this feedback we can make some adjustments to the lesson to explain clearly why we are showing the numbers this way." So Eileen, thanks for your feedback. We will change it to make it clearer!

Rocket Italian

Frankly, I think Rocket Italiano is very good. Though it is slow going for me, it does seem thorough. I do think the price is perfect and if I get through this first course, I will continue with the next course. I am going to Sicily at the end of June and the first part of July, so I hope I have it somewhat together by then.

Motivation to learn a different language is the key. I like the way Rocket Italiano has provided different ways to keep this interesting. The testing is interesting, as is trying to speak the way the instructors speak. I have not gone through the entire course step by step, but I have jumped around a bit and keep coming back for more.

I am wondering though if there is a major difference between the Italian language and the Sicilian language. I have relatives in Sicily and I am going to try to communicate with them when I am visiting. Some of them I have never met. It should be interesting. I will continue the course when I get back and if I am comfortable enough, I will enroll in the next Rocket Italiano course. As of right now though, it seems that I have a long way to go.

After barely progressing with Rosetta Stone for four years, I already feel like I am learning so much with Rocket languages! While Rosetta spends a lot of time teaching phrases like the girl swims, the girl runs, and the women are cooking, rocket languages starts with useful phrases like I enjoy learning, My name is, etc.

Well, I was very pleasantly surprised! I had thought Rosetta would be my choice, but I didn't care for it - nor did many others in their reviews. I finally ended up with Rocket, and I'm extremely pleased with the trial lessons so far.

I really like the manner that the sessions are presented as it provides excellent reinforcement of the material covered. Being a senior the repetition works well for me. I have been doing Rocket Spanish as well for 6 months and wanted to try French for fun as I had taken it in high school many years ago.

I must say that I'm excited to use this product. I just started with my French lesson and I can tell that their methodology is helping me a lot, it really helps me retain what I'm trying to learn and I'm excited to learn more as I go along. Thanks Rocket Languages! I'm also satisfied of how convenient it is to learn a new language at the tip of my fingertip, I can do it anywhere with the use of my iPhone and I dont have to be in front of my Computer everytime and install CDs. All I need is my account and cellphone! Excellent! :)

Up to this point, Rocket French is proving to fully meet my expectations. Sorry I did not begin to use it earlier. Now I will try my best to complete and review at least 3 lessons each day 6 days a week.

So far so good. Very thorough and comprehensive, allowing you to hear, repeat, record, and compare your pronunciation with that of a native. Love the program! Looking forward to learning cultural aspects of the German language, as well as becoming that much more conversant with each segment.

I wanted to go back to learning french after having taken some courses in college. After trying a few different approaches, I came across Rocket French. I have to say, I'm very pleased with the results. The dialogues are instructive and fun, making it that much easier to want stay with the program. I can easily recommend Rocket French to anyone thinking about learning the language.
