I am happy with my Japanese lessons so far and excited to see how far I go and at what speed. I am really enjoying the lessons
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!
I have two other Rocket Language programs and am now trying Spanish. Like the others, it's very user-friendly with easy-to-navigate, comprehensive modules. I love that you can go at your own pace without hassle, (which comes in very handy with my slow approach to Mandarin!) The lessons are logically arranged and build on previous lessons. Testing, quizzes, reviews, pronunciation tools, (like record and compare,) make Rocket Languages the best system I've ever seen or used. Most programs simply drill you in vocabulary, but RL teaches you a language AND its culture! They are truly the best!
Happy about it. The only thing, don't stop working!
This program is terrific. It provides great help learning realistic situations in French, which unlike many other programs.
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 :)
I am progressing through the Premium Plus course and am enjoying the many learning elements of this program. I especially like the oral listening and speaking elements of each lesson. Many Spanish programs ignore the fact that you have to be able to fluently listen to, and understand the native speaker in order to function well in another language.
I have learned a lot with the Rocket Italian course. It is great, because I can study whenever I want, and there are a lot to do, I can practice my listening, writing and also record my speech.
I am happy about that...
Thanks
Best website ever. I've learned a lot of words in about 20 mins
I hate the points and streaks function and you have provide no ability to switch off!
I am preferring the Pimsleur system far more.

Hi G - Ha! That's because no-one has asked for it to be switched off before. We can add it to a list of suggestions to look at in the future.
