Rocket Languages Reviews

The record with voice recognition grading really helps to get your pronunciation right, and the playback of your voice really helps you find out why you did get the grade you expected. These tools give a strong incentive to practice speaking, and have helped me to progress faster. The downside is that these tools are only practically useful on PC and not useful on Android because of speed and different limited web page. (I cannot speak for Apple versions).

I would give the course 5 stars if all features were available on all platforms.

On android viewing the website, speech recognition is so much slower to respond, and much less accurate, so the time delays become frustrating - it is very dependent on internet and wireless speed. The key thing android misses is it that it has no ability to play back what you said (so that you can hear and correct your own mistakes). From the forum comments this appears to have been missing for 2 years or more, and I think Rocket Languages should make playback of your own voice a priority fix for android users.

This is an amazing program! I had tried Pimsleur and Fluenz when learning Spanish. Rocket simply blows those away. And with the iPhone app and mp3 recordings you can practice anywhere. Enjoy learning your new language!

Thus far this course is more than expected. the introduction to every lesson is quite helpful. If all goes well with level 1 and 2 level three is looking realistic. Finally, I need to communicate with my cousin in Calabria much better. Thanks

Howdy from North Idaho, USA!

I just started my Korean course -I really LOVE the Rocket method. As a software developer myself, I really appreciate the solid program. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this to anyone.

Thank you for the great advice from fellow forum writers about keeping up on the lessons at least a little each day!!

Rocket Languages is really good for someone who is wanting to begin learning a language fast and easy. It takes little time and you surely get a lot out of each lesson. And not only does it teach you the language, but it also teaches you different parts of the culture from where your language of choice is spoken. It's really amazing and I've already recommended to each of my friends.

I absolutely love the layout of Rocket Japanese. The read and response questions as well as the pronunciation practice really helps to nail down such a complex language. I often listen to the lessons when it's not busy at work or when I'm driving so there's never a lot of downtime between lessons.

I do recommend that you use another learning app along with this one. With Japanese being the complex language that it is (especially for English speakers) it's recommended to learn the language from multiple perspectives, or even focus on something that you find is weaker than other aspects of the language (like Kanji or Pronunciation).

That being said, you can absolutely get by just by using this program. It is on the more expensive side, but if you're serious about learning the language it's an investment that should absolutely be considered.

Learning a language is possible not by only going through books but by actually implementing it in your daily speech and hearing the correct pronunciations. And ROCKET JAPANESE has made it possible! They give you a chance to speak, practice and even explain simple conversations that every tourist will need. Not only that, There are tests which enhances learning process. Rocket Japanese rocks!

I've been using Rocket Japanese for a while now, and it is the greatest learning tool I have ever used. The lessons are in small bites so you don't get overwhelmed. Everything is explained in the lessons. Then there are the Culture, Grammar, and other lessons which are extremely useful. I love the in-depth way Rocket teaches, and they still manage to make it fun! The reinforcement activities are wonderful fun, and I do them over and over just because I can. It is so motivating to do a lesson over again, especially the Play It, and can pronounce all the sentences 100% correctly when I couldn't do it a month before. If you want to learn a language, Rocket is the way to do it, and you will learn and have fun at the same time.

Rocket Languages has interactive audio lessons that makes it easier and more fun to learn from. In addition, the reviews at the end are very helpful and different from any other program I've used. I have learned way more efficiently now with so much more to look forward too.

Great value for price! I like the browser but was really impressed with the app on IOS. Since I am on the go quite often, it is nice to learn Mandarin and check things off right on my phone. The more exposure to the language the better, and now I don't have to just sit at a computer all day and learn. Despite a few little bugs it has been more than I expected and I would recommend Rocket over Rosetta Stone anytime.
