Rocket Languages Reviews

I started learning Japanese for a vacation I was going to take in Japan (That got canceled due to the outbreak), after having taken a year of Japanese in college about 15 years ago. The lessons are good and clear overall. Sometimes they do not give very good explanations of the grammar they introduce, for example using -you in one lesson and -sou in the same and never explaining the difference. The quizzes can also be frustrating, because sometimes a lesson teaches multiple very similar words, and the flash cards do not make it clear which reading they are looking for. It'd be more useful if the quizzes had different combinations of the vocabulary and grammar we learned in the lesson instead of just repeating the exact phrases. That way we'd be learning the concepts and not just memorizing phrases.

Overall though the lessons are very useful and very helpful for learning Japanese when you don't have much time to spend.

i am so glad that i find this apps in the google because i learn alot about my study and this a big help for the beginners. to understand.

the rōmaji on the flashcards is driving me away from using Rocket for Japanese.

just maddening to have in SETTINGS as OFF

In 1/5 of a lsdon, I can set English OFF but where i WANT it off, it is stuck ON as a feature ?!?

Good course and learning experience. I keep on going with my learning of the Deutsch Sprachen sehr gut :)

Excellent lessons. Would love for there to be a more advanced course after this one. For me would have liked lessons on how to conjugate verbs in the beginning as I got a bit lost sometimes, as no explanation was given for the change of verb endings. Maybe grammar lessons should be interspersed with the interactive lessons. Also there are some mistakes throughout and some words that are used are not in common usage in India, as verified by my journalist husband. Apart from that all excellent so have given it 5/5.

Great language course with a lot of features and mixed platform (PC / mobile) is great help for on the go.
I would however like to see the ability to unsubscribe from the trials, once you start a trial on any language it does not give me the option to unsubscribe from it in the app or on the site. This annoys me.

Hi, i am new using this app, so far i see this app so good. so interactive. but i find some bugs.
In french lesson, in every intro when 2 people do conversation, its always have a dialog words/script bellow. but today i try another language like germany. there isn't any dialog words/script below the conversation. I hope you adding it soon, because there many information which i didn't find in the notes there. regards C.Blake

The only thing I would like to add is a video of the people talking. Seeing how their mouths move and gestures would help a lot. Besides that- amazing course.

I think conceptually, it's great. The progression of language makes a lot of sense to me and feels natural. A few critiques: it is very geared toward traveling to South America as a tourist or for work or something, so if you're learning Spanish for any other reason, this doesn't give you a lot of the vocabulary that would probably be useful. Also, though the concept is great, there are still a lot of kinks that need to be worked out so that it actually functions properly. Things are often misspelled, especially in the later lessons. If there are multiple ways to say the same thing, there is almost no indication which way they expect you to use, and you get docked if you say the one other than expected. Also, the software has a really hard time picking up what you're saying, so you can pronounce things the exact same way, and one time it's correct and the next time it's incorrect because the software just isn't good at understanding verbal language. So overall, really good product, I just wish they had spent a little more time developing it and working out the bugs before rolling it out.

Rocket Languages is awesome. You can listen, write, and even quiz yourself while learning new words in a fun way.
