Rocket Languages Reviews

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.

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 am loving learning the language of my grandmother by this system. She lived with me and my parents in Australia until I was 12 and she occasionally spoke and sang to me in Italian. That was nearly 50 years ago and as a result I spoke Italian like a 2 year old - pointing and naming things with no grammar or modern constructions when I started this course. Lots of practice and revision is needed but I find myself starting to think in Italian!

I spent a month in Italy in 1976 and got by with mime and pointing and naming but we are finally going back there in September to a Villa in Tuscany where my husband is doing a photography masterclass. I will travel around solo by public transport to Sienna, Florence and Pisa and complete part of the Camino walk. So I've been studying with Rocket and finding it fantastic. The practical nature of the conversations for a tourist when combined with the excellent grammar instructions ( I was an English teacher) has been perfect.
I purchased all three Levels of Italian and will have fully completed Level 1 by the time we travel and work on the others when we get back. Hopefully we can return to Italy in future years to make full use of this excellent resource.

The course is very well developed.
The mobile app works fast and reliable.

I tried out lots of other language learning apps but in most cases with a gap in learning to speak the language what in my opinion is the main cause for using language apps.

The Rocket Languages approach is speaking first through incredible good audio lessons and the best voice recognition I have ever seen in a mobile app.

In addition the support is also like the course itself very fast, friendly and professional. I can recommend Rocket Languages without restrictions and am very happy to found this resource on the internet.

I have learned so much with Rocket French. I have completed two years of university in French studies and Rocket French has improved my speaking and vocabulary way beyond my university studies. Rocket French is a great addition to my French learning journey.

I love that the program is available to me for a lifetime. I haven't explored the support forums much but when I have they were very helpful and quick to respond. I am really impressed with this program, and after studying Level 1 and half of Level 2 I took a trip to Quebec and was able to communicate pretty well.

I'm happy that I can continue to study according to my own schedule and when I am ready to study another language, I will definitely use Rocket.

I am just in the early Italian lessons but already I have a feel for the language. The ROCKET style is both immersive and explanatory. The lessons are based on real conversations and then verbs and grammar are expanded. The added cultural references are fantastic!
I think the strongest feature of the curriculum lies with the ability to record your own voice and compare it to the lesson speaker. I am able to speak and listen over and over, hearing every little inflection until I get it right. At the introduction to each lesson, it sounds difficult. At the end of each lesson it seems so easy. The review before each new lesson reinforces the previous lesson. As an instructor myself, I appreciate the careful lesson plan that engages vocalization, comprehension, vocabulary expansions, and written words. But unlike dry textbook style, the lesson is really just a typical conversation, so you feel able to jump right into a situation and understand. I have wanted to speak Italian my whole life so I can travel to Italy and now I am so exited that this is now within my reach.

Taking the sign language course next to someone who is fluent in ASL and am being told that some of the syntax and even signs in the early modules are just incorrect. Disappointing that I have to have her check your work.

This is a well designed system. You get to listen, read, write and speak. You are given the chance once and again to improve your pronunciation. The course layout is fresh and makes learning fun and pain free. It's also a motivating system as you get to see your progress, and you get rewarded your points that allow to see where you started from, where you are, and where you could be. If you want to learn German, this system does definitely help you. The question is not whether this system is good or not (it is undoubtedly good). The real question here is how serious you are about learning German. If you are ready to put the time and the effort to it, then this system is definitely going to help you... quite a lot.

The best part of the course is that it works because of how addictive I am to it. I love working everyday using Rocket Language, so my skills are improving exponentially. Absolutely love this program, not even one regret of the purchase I made.
