Rocket Languages Reviews

Would I recommend to a friend? Already did, to all four of my immediate colleagues at work that are considering Spanish, French, Italian and Japanese.

Did Pimslueur when I was trying to learn Lithuanian for my wedding. Great for pronunciation but certainly very limited vocabulary, no grammar instruction, no book and no writing component. Very expensive on top of that.

Rocket Italian seems to have all of these bases covered so that I can look forward to a true understanding of how the language works rather than parroting back audio tapes.

I had used Living Language's NOOK tablet app, which opened my eyes to just how helpful computer-based language learning could be. I also tried Rosetta's app. As I researched available systems, I discovered Rocket Languages Chinese (Mandarin). After only a few weeks' study, using Rocket Chinese, I was able to greet,and exchange pleasantries with ,Dr Paul Lam,in his native Mandarin! He even complimented me on my correct use of tones, then asked how I learned. Of course, I was thrilled to tell him about Rocket Chinese. The Rocket Chinese course really brings the language alive ;while allowing the learner to progress at their own pace. I wish the Premium Plus level had more exposition of grammar; but overall, Rocket Languages provides unbeatable "bang-for-your-buck". Using Rocket Chinese, I have reached a level where I can now start to use more- traditional, book based grammars,and make sense of the material- whereas, before , the books were just mute, and cryptic, and I just was not absorbing the lessons. Rocket is the way to go!

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.

I used this for almost eight months and Rocket Language helps me to improve my listening skills drastically! So definitely, I will recommend it to my friends.

素晴らしい!!!!! 　どうもありがとうございます。　^_^

I've been to Japan several times and have learned a few words and phrases during my visits. However, the language was always very intimidating to me, and I found it hard to grasp much of the structure and flow of the language. This course has made learning so much easier. It is a great system for me personally, as it allows me to really change up the day-to-day learning activities. It truly keeps the learning experience fresh and fun. I appreciate all of the activities that accompany each lesson. The audio dialogue is a lot of fun and provides many useful phrases and words for upcoming trips to Japan. The dialogue in each lesson deals with situations that are easy to visualize, thus helping with retention of the accompanying language. One aspect of this course that I find really helpful is the incorporation of elements from previous lessons into subsequent lessons. Not only does each lesson begin with a recap of a previous lesson, but words and phrases from previous lessons are often reused, but in different contexts and situations. This really helps with learning the language and understanding subtle differences due to different contexts. I would highly recommend this course to any serious would-be student of Japanese!

We tried Pimsleur and Duolingo each for a month before finding Rocket Spanish. Two weeks into RS and we’re pleased and feel like we’re learning USEFUL conversational Espanol. We wsh RS allowed us our own learning profile on one account like Pimsleur does. Pimsleur Level 1 to us as Beginners was VERY boring and far less practical than Rocket. And, Duolingo is a nice phone app for vocabulary but we learned very little practical conversation Spanish. So for our money and the time we will invest Rocket was a very good find.

Done very well. Especially for older persons like me who have trouble remembering. Glad to see you point out formal vs informal. It is not just memorizing a script, information provided gives you a understanding of what is being said. Review process at the end of each lesson is very helpful.

I absolutely love Rocket Languages, or in my case Rocket Japanese! I’ve had an account since 2011 and I just love the way it enables you to actively practice speech even if you don’t have a person to practice with. Since learning Japanese to me is a hobby, it is something that gets put on hold more often than not, however whenever I want to get back into it I start with listening to Rocket Japanese audio lessons. It’s puts me right back in the action of the language, something that would be neither as easy nor as fun if I were just using a book. I do combine the Rocket course with a book for better grammar and more hands-on practice in addition to a Kanji book, as I prefer more exercises, but it would not go as smoothly without your lessons, which are enjoyable even after the so-manieth repeat. just want to add that I appreciate all the upgrades that you do :)

I'm in my sixth week of learning Spanish with this app and I must say I am surprised at how much I have learned, but am also aware of how much there is to learn. All I need to do is use Spanish conversation podcasts to gauge my competence in "eschucha le conversacion". I use the conversation part of the app when driving and this gives me a solid basis for sitting down with my laptop to do the exercises. This has so far been an immensely satisfying experience and I'd recommend this to anyone who is keen to learn quickly and effectively. Highly recommended!

I found out about Rocket Languages on a website that displayed language teachers. This met my needs well and this is a great way to learn a language. I found this both affordable and a great teacher.
