Rocket Languages Reviews

After many years of working on my French I feel Rocket is where I want to be. What I find especially helpful is the practice in understanding spoken French. I still have a long way to go but the Rocket execises, I feel, have put me on the right road.

I am just restarting to learn Mandarin using Rocket Chinese because I had been too busy teaching and building new courses at my current school in China.

Positive:
1. Listening, Reading (in pinyin - latin script and Simplified - chinese script), Writing (initially in pinyin) and speaking is available from the very first lesson.
2. Step by step in a logical fashion based on what would seem to be logical needs of a person new to learning the language.
3. Clear and colourful interface that is easy to follow.
4. There are now cute little incentive badges that give you a sense of your progress. These complement the already colourful interface, but I think this is helpful for both younger and older learners

While I like the course layout very much, there are just a couple of tiny problems that I suspect will be addressed quite quickly on the technical side.

1. I haven't yet figured out how to prevent my browser (Firefox) from asking permission everytime RocketChinese wants to use the camera/microphone. Because I am used to the 7/24 customer service, email is obviously slower, but their responses are usually within 24 hours... so, not intolerable.

The Hindi course is very good. I picked it after research and I am sufficiently satisfied. It is interesting enough and teaches well one who wants to learn. There are minor glitches such as with when the system repeatedly does not accurately recognize my response on some exercises but this is not of the essence. I hope Rocket will continue to grow and improve their solid base.

A very professional and comprehensive language learning product. It is engaging and has some humor which helps with learning. I have completed 17 lessons so far and I have improve a great deal.
I would highly recommend Rocket languages.

I have tried different online courses so i might say I have seen quite a bit but so far this is the best. It explains in details structure, grammar and also emphasizes the important things to remember which a lot of other programs lack and are focused only on the vocabulary. The dialogues are also well written and in a funny way which makes it easier to concentrate and remember.
Definitely the best online course so far!

I love this I want to learn Korean so bad it's the best I recommend 10/10 ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿고마워!!!

I'm not sure how long I've been using the Rocket Arabic course, but before using it, I had tried some of the other courses available on the market. but met with unsatisfactory results. I find Rocket Language's Arabic course to be the most helpful, useful, and enjoyable course available. It offers the best features and tools for language learning. It also offers relevant and practical vocabulary.
I am especially happy that this course focuses on Egyptian Arabic because it is the dialect I am most interested to learn.
Rocket Arabic has boosted my confidence in speaking with the Egyptian friends I have, and many of those whom I've known since before I started using Rocket's Arabic course have commented on my improvements in speaking Arabic since using Rocket Language's course. I feel the course has also helped me to better understand Arabic when I hear it spoken.
I feel that Rocket Language's lesson format is very helpful, and I especially appreciate being able to listen to the lessons in my car, or on my mp3 player. Also having the option of viewing the lessons in text form to better understand words I hear during the course is a valuable resource.
I have recommended Rocket Languages courses to many friends and colleagues who want to learn a second or third language.
Thanks, Rocket Languages, and Amira Zaki, for creating this wonderful course. It has helped me enormously. Alf shokr.

The interactive audio lessons are so fun, non-stressful, and easy to use. I love the feature that allows me to input translations just by highlighting the words in the conversation and then test myself by going through it on my own. I download the lessons I'm working on and listen to them in the car or at work. I've already recommended Rocket Languages to most of my family and friends! Rocket Languages is nearly perfect but one thing I'd like to see at some point is more audio reviews with different uses of the words from the lesson and a review covering literally everything up to the present point. So if I'm at lesson 1.3, i'd like to see a review covering 1.0-1.3 on it. Or if I'm at lesson 3.2, I'd like to review 1.0-3.2 at some point to make sure I haven't forgotten the basics.

I have used many resources to learn Japanese. I use Rocket Japanese to test what I learned, and learn topic specific language. Even just using it in that limited capacity it has been tremendously helpful. I spent almost 6 months in Japan during 2016. The things I learned here were invaluable for navigating restaurants, convenience stores, and many other activities.

When I bought this package I was looking for something like the Spanish101, Chinese101, etc series. I wanted something I could listen to while I ran or commuted places. The main reason I picked this was that it isn't a subscription service. I bought it and I was done.

After buying it I realized it was more interactive and engaging than my previous experiences with podcasts. Besides the engaging, and silly Japanese hosts, the activities to verify I am learning became a big help. I also loved that I could skip around to any lesson I felt I needed to work on. I have had this product long enough to see 2 new versions released and each time, the upgrades have made the product more usable, and helped me come back and work on my Japanese some more.

There are a few places they could improve. I know there is a lot more to learn. It would be great to see more levels, allowing people to advance further. Another improvement would be for them to speed up their conversations more. I feel that by the end of the third level they should be speaking at native or near native speed.
