Rocket Languages Reviews

I decided to try Rocket German more or less a week ago, and I absolutely loved it. I tried some other methods (Pages, apps or books) but none of them were really helping me to learn and I was losing my time. Now I'm enjoying the way they teach, the simplicity of the lessons and I just want to continue studying more and more everytime. Let's see how far this goes. I also think that in some time from now, if I felt excellent with the program, I will buy also Rocket French

It's like a classroom setting that focuses most on the important parts of a language. Yes, knowing the word is important, but being able to ask for it is more helpful in communication. Rocket Languages is great to get you conversational ASAP, without bogging you down with grammar that can come with time.

Rocket Languages is very helpful to learn Russian, and has many step by step courses that help in advancing my knowledge of Russian slowly and effectively. I like how in the beginning, there are not too many hard words to pronounce but as you go along it advances. I also like how it can correct how you pronounce words which helps a lot in knowing if I am saying the word(s) right or not. And if I'm having trouble with some words I can practice with those words in writing, speaking,quizzes, and more which is a good help. The only downside is that when they tell you how to pronounce words they can speak a little too fast, and I would like it better if the word(s) would be pronounced slowly by the speaker so it is easier to catch along so that I have a better pronunciation.

So far I am really enjoying the Rocket program for Chinese. I think if I had chosen any other language to study my progress would be much faster, but with the Chinese I am going slowly because I am trying to learn the characters at the same time as the spoken language. So I don't proceed to the next lesson until I can comfortably write the characters. I learn the spoken phrases quickly, but the written characters come more slowly. It feels almost I am learning two languages at the same time. I don't know if I am supposed to concentrate so much on the writing, and maybe I should progress faster through the audio. I'm not even sure there is a right way to do it. But anyway, I am having fun with it, and I am glad I bought it.

Multiple learning techniques, great for visual as well as auditory learners. My granddaughter enjoys learning with me. Easy way to learn conversational languages . Although the recorder doesn't always work it still helps me learn.

I am coming to the end of the second module in Level 1 Italian after a few weeks of studying for about an hour per day. I like the structure of the course overall and enjoy the various methods used to help the language penetrate my slow brain! At times there does seem to be a slight disconnect though in the sense that the ‘language and culture’ sections which follow the situational interactive audio lessons provide information that would have been useful to know prior to commencing the latter. Looked another way, I guess I could say that they reinforce the earlier lessons but, for me, some of this knowledge would have been useful ‘up front’ to assist in the understanding of those lessons. That aside, to date, I am very happy with the course; it has held my attention and kept me motivated. Let’s see if this remains the case in the coming months and years!

I am learning Rocket French and i do enjoy listening to the audio lessons in the car.. My only criticism is that i wish there were more audio lessons. Also the quiz section for the language and culture lessons are frustrating, it only tests you on the words/sentences that are listed and maybe should be testing more on the actual theory behind the subject. Also some of the audio lessons are surprisingly sexist? maybe due for an update to bring into 2018 Rocket??!

This is working out great for me. I took Italian in college over 30 years ago, so I've forgotten almost everything, but it's all coming right back to me. The interactive audio is good practice, and I like the themed lessons. They sneak in the grammar rules, so it doesn't get boring.

I am enjoying the audio lessons and I particularly like the additional explanations on grammar points and the way they ask you to apply the learning in different ways. It would be great if this learning approach was also applied to the revision exercises, which do a good job of consolidating the phrases in the audio lesson (even if it is a little too repetitive) but don't stretch you to apply the underlying grammar principles to new situations. It would also be good if the revision sometimes threw in words and phrases from earlier lessons as a way of consolidating what you have learned before. I also find the voice recognition very difficult to use. It very often doesn't pick up on what I'm saying.

I have owned Rocket French for several years, but have not had the time to devote to it. I find that it quite comprehensive, so far, for conversational French. I also to Duolingo and really like it to set me straight on French grammar. One gets a lot of practice there, especially if one makes many mistakes, as I do. Also one can review to one's hears's continent. I don't know if one can actually learn conversational French with Duolingo, but it does give one the basics to experiment with French speakers or others learning the language.
However, I think that (I haven't actually tried it) one will learn conversational French more quickly with Rocket French. I cannot vouch for any other method.
I have had two semesters of French at a university. I also value that experience very highly.
