Rocket Languages Reviews

I love this course! The conversational lessons are great, they allow me to practice while running on the treadmill which is a bonus! The reinforcement tools help you to really retain the information. I have been using it every day for over a month now and have really improved my Spanish skills

Rocket Languages after sales service is beyond incredible. To cut a long story short, Rocket Languages credited an amount that I had paid to Apple for level 1 French, which Apple would not refund (despite what I considered valid grounds), and provided me with the whole three level course for their low Easter promotion price. In other words, they treated money paid to someone else (Apple) as having been paid to them, to ensure that I was not left out of pocket. In a largely faceless internet world, this is just amazing and I have seen nothing like it in 20 years of being in business. They also threw in extras at a discounted price, and were lovely, courteous and prompt in all their dealings with me. This company deserves its success and is clearly in this business for the long haul - because they genuinely care about customer satisfaction. Thank you Rocket Languages.

Also, I should not conclude this review without saying that the product is wonderful, and they rightfully believe in it.

Rocket Languages is great for getting into a language right away with phrases you will use often, and then following it up with cultural lessons, which are interesting and important if you plan to visit that country.

I like the audio and the repetition. I want to be able to hear and understand Spanish, not just read it. That is true of most people that learn a second language. Rocket Spanish puts more emphasis on listening and speaking than Rosetta Stone. The points system is also great because it encourages you to do more each day to earn more points.

Well organized and easy to follow. Problems with microphone seemed to cause program to loose it's place in quiz. Once I learn the navigation plan it should be easier for me. I keep backing up and learning how to move forward. It has been a while since I used the system and the changes were a bit difficult to follow.

I've really enjoyed the course and have learned a great deal. Maria and Alex are great they do a good job of explaining everything on the course plus extra stuff. So far the best Language course that I've tried.

The voice recognition works pretty well. It struggles with very short sounds, but overall very good. I've used other programs that ask you to speak the answers, but the pronunciation analysis makes me try much harder to say each response out loud.

The romaji is good for beginners, but already know hiragana and katakana, so the romaji is very distracting. I wish there was an option to turn off romaji so I can practice reading.

I just started using RocketJapanese last week, and so far I have been nothing but impressed. It's easy to use - no complicated pages within pages- and gives me exactly what I need for each lesson. I don't have to figure it out on my own. The audio lessons are interesting and easy to follow, and the teachers speak clearly so I can understand everything they're saying. And the practice tools are really easy to use! I feel like I've actually learned how to speak instead of random words that will form a sentence eventually. I've tried several learning methods prior to Rocket Languages and I'm definitely sticking to this one!

Had studied Italian on my own for few years, but had trouble in when in Italy keeping up with listening and speaking with native speakers. I came home and found this program had exactly what I needed to really improve my conversational skills. It is thorough, gradual and moves you along steadily, but comfortably. I'm sure my friends while notice the difference when I return!

Seems very easy to learn, so for. I kind of wish they had the course on HD DVD. I'm going deaf, I'm 78 yrs old. I.ve been trying to learn a little using books and ASL dictionaries, But nothing I've found compares to this! I only wish they had a more affordable price, I'm living on Social Security.
