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.

I am really happy with this program! All the different aspects (listening, speaking, writing,...) are helping to really understand the 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

Rocket Languages makes learning a new language fun & interesting. After trying several other online language courses and feeling disappointed & frustrated I have finally found a company that knows how to teach.

Need some more practice and review material. Full Audio parts seem lengthy. Like your course. I would like to memorize by doing practice whatever I learn from the course so need translation practices both way

I've only been using this program one week. For now, the sale price made this a reasonable purchase. I am not computer savvy, so this online experience was convenient for someone like me. I didn't have to worry about downloading software and figuring out how to get it to work. I just log in and start learning right away. So far, I have enjoyed it very much.

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.

This is a great program that uses a mix of audio, text, and quizzes to help you learn a language. I'm trying to learn Japanese and I was very relieved when I saw the program has all the writing methods of Japan (Kanji, Katakana, Hiragana, and Romaji). I am also glad that they incorporated a way for me to record myself speaking the language. This way I can compare myself to that of the native speaker. I am currently using the Rocket Languages iOS app for my iPhone and it works perfectly (except for some audio files that won't play 100% of the time).

I would recommend this to my friends and family. Actually, I've already recommend this program to my husband, who wants to learn Spanish.

I encourage anyone, who is motived to learn a new language, to use Rocket Languages.

This is a great site to help you learn a language. I am using it to learn Italian, having grown up around the language, i thought I already knew the basics, but this has helped me to learn how to speak properly and learn even more! It's very thorough in it's explanations of why certain words are used and how to learn the correct grammar and forms of the words. The voice recognition is an excellent tool in helping you to make sure your pronunciation is correct. It works best with headphones and helps to point out which parts of a sentence you are saying incorrectly, then you can mark it easy or hard so you can come back to it later if you need more practice. They also have a wonderful app that allows you to practice on the go! Honestly without the app, i might never get on to practice, i’m usually too lazy to actually get onto the computer so the app has been fantastic. You can do everything on the app that you can on the website. Customer service is great, I had trouble using the app at first so i sent an email and got a very quick reply. They are also open to suggestions on what you think can be improved so that you can learn easier. Money well spent!

Blows Duolingo out of the water. I purchased this program for my teens before we make a trip to Latin America. We're enjoying it!
