Rocket Languages review criteria
It has been a great learning experience. It's been years since I last practised German on this site, but all I have to do is fire up Rocket Languages and I'm back on track. Thanks for being so reliable.
I've just started using this program but so far it has been the most helpful language learning device I've tried. The fact that you have both a native speaker of the language you're learning AND a speaker of your own native language makes it so much easier to figure out pronunciations and how to work in the accents to make your sentences flow together smoothly. Definitely will be sticking around for the rest of the great lessons that this program has to offer!
I enjoy using Rocket Languages to practise my Spanish and learn more! It's a great way to improve your language of choice and review your existing knowledge :-) I have recommended Rocket Spanish to a friend of mine and will definitely spread a good word around in the future! Thank you everyone for an overall great learning experience :-)
I like the website as well as the android app. Both are very helpful in the learning process. The price is very reasonable for all of the features that you have access to. Thank you Rocket Languages.
I absolutely love Rocket French. I was choosing between Pimsleur or Rocket French, but Rocket French in my opinion offers a lot more resources to have a well-rounded learning experience. I love in particular the “play it” exercises as it really makes me get into speaking in real situations.
I love everything about the lessons. Pronunciation is difficult for me but audio lessons makes it easy.
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.

Hi Fred - Thanks for the feedback! Regarding your point about the length of the lessons, we are currently reviewing all of the Language & Culture lessons, and the amount of phrases is one thing that we will be looking at. In saying that, having an abundance of phrases to learn is not a bad thing!
I just started with this course and I find the content really comprehensive. Exercises are nicely structured and helpful. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. BUT! (now for the bad part):
FOR GOD SAKE, please reduce the narrator content. She just keeps blabbering in English and even in the first lesson it starts to feel unnatural and annoying. Lessons are 30 min long and they could be half that size if she just stops her completely unnecessary commentary. I REALLY hope she will just stop talking in more advanced lessons and I will hear more German. As you can see I am really annoyed with that haha.
All in all it's a really good course and good value.
Cheers

Hi Andrija - Level 1 of Rocket German is a beginners course so there is more explanations in English and less German as it can be overwhelming if there was too much German. As the course progresses there is more German and less English!
A very well organised language course. I'm really enjoying the thorough and all round introduction to the Italian language and culture.
This site is very useful to learn other languages.!!!!!!Congratulations!!!!!!!
