Rocket Languages Reviews

Just completed the introductory course in Rocket Arabic and it was very approachable. Arabic has a reputation for high difficulty but the way the information was presented in the lesson kept the experience from feeling overwhelming. I am looking forward to my second lesson after I practice the first a few times more.

Well designed course that combines visual, audio, written, quizzes, flash cards and reminders along with a little humour. It's a very well designed program.

The online computer version has an advantage. It records your spoken phrases so you can play them back to compare pronunciation with the native speaker. This is great! The iPhone version lacks that feature. It grades your spoken response but you can't hear your spoken response.

Overall, I'm very impressed with the educational design and the usefulness of Rocket Chinese. Very well done! I used both the computer and my iPhone for practice. I like both versions. It's the best language learning course I've seen, by far.

I’m very impressed by the ease of presentation, the many tools available for listening, reading, and writing the language, and the useful conversational vocabulary. I have studied several other languages but none have been so enoyable as the Spanish Rocket course I am taking. I will be well prepared for my trip to Spain next summer.

Just beginning to use Rocket Spanish and so far I like the ability to use the information in conversation, rather than just seeing endless words and phrases that generally wouldn't get used in everyday life. Much of what is taught in standard school is basic/background, which is necessary, but this helps relate to real life.

I am an intermediate French student, but I am starting with the beginner lessons as review because I rarely have an opportunity to listen to native French speakers or to practice speaking. I am finding the lessons very helpful to develop my "ear" and my accent. The explanations of the grammar points within the dialogues are very clear and the opportunities to practice speaking are great.
I have used several online French courses and this is by far the best, though Babbel is quite also.

The app on iPhone doesn’t work property. After I email the customer service for a few days, the problem still has not been solved. The app is not as good as the desktop version., which is a shame. The responses from customer service seem slow. The audio lessons are interesting but the culture and language don’t make me feel interested about learning. There are definitely things that require improvement.

The 3 rated review was not from the content in the program. I feel the lessons are terrific. However, I would like to see a company recommended approach to beginning study in the program. I began by doing the lessons one at a time. Is there a better way or are there some other alternative approaches. Would appreciate your assistance.

Great lessons, which bring you in at a manageable rate. I like the way flash card reviews are included with spaced repetition.
Letters that are not in English are usefully emphasised.
I would like some explicit grammar and better writing lessons.

My rating for the price is for me personally. I am flat broke and it is nearly $Aus150 in Australia. If I wasn't desperate to learn, I wouldn't have bought it.

Very helpful lessons. Not too long to listen to the audio part. I don't really care for the written part since I'm not going to be writing in French. I just need to learn conversational French. Some things are not relevant like learning "Welcome to the first lesson." I've already forgotten that.

My only complaint is that the Spanish keyboard is difficult to use and would be best if it were just built directly into the screen instead of me having to pull it out for each individual exercise. Other than that, I love this system. It is so user friendly, personalized, and easy to navigate. It is thorough in the way it teaches the material and gives the user a lot of freedom to make choices along the way.
