Rocket Languages Reviews

My dad got this for me, and I love it! So helpful. and I love the language I am learning!

The learning experience is very good and the website lay-out and functions are easily understandable. The voice recognition doesn't work as well as with other programs (P. or RS), but well enough. Some of the best features are that I learn to write the words in Pinyin with the accents in the proper places, and that there's a transcript. I tried learning Chinese just by listening (P.) and I was not satisfied, the learning experience was somehow incomplete. It's only my second day with Rocket Chinese, but I've already learned more relevant content than with other programs (P. and D.) in the same time frame.
The price is appropriate for the content and service, but I would prefer a monthly subscription for all languages (like with P.).

Currently I am learning Italian and Spanish. Rocket Languages makes learning a foreign language fun and easy. I just wish there was a discount to those who are learning two or more languages. That would only be fair.

I like the audio lessons. The new "know it" part seems a little redundant. The quizes are much too easy. There is very little practice writing or otherwise to really get concepts from a lesson nailed into the brain. And finally the organization is a totally a mess! Where is the overall lesson plan? There is so much repetition between the "Beginners Book" or whatever it is called and the language and cultural lessons, and the lesson numbers don't match, etc...I think there should be at least an order, like read lesson 3.1 in the manual, then listen to the audio lesson 3.1 and then do the cultural lesson 3.6 or something like that. Also the "say it" part where you speak to the computer doesn't really help me at all or my pronunciation. Hearing it helps with that.
Overall it is a pretty good method but could use a better format and overall organization. Bueno, creo que eso es todo.

There are many good tools to practice Chinese. I really like the rocket record where you can compare the pronunciation with Chinese speaking people. The only thing that I am missing is that there should be a prepared vocabulary for each chapter.

The thing I love most about Rocket French is the price. It is A LOT cheaper than the others. I also love the fact that Rocket French allows users to download the audio clips. This feature has been very helpful because I travel a lot and I wish to listen on the go.

Using listen/record, I can practice, practice, practice until I get it right. The forum is a great tool to clarify something I don't understand. I've created a vocabulary with each new word or phrase. I can refer to often just to repeat them. The many tools in pdf are very helpful.

I think Rocket Languages is a great way to learn a language online. The audio lessons are great. However, I would like to see more practice questions on grammar and a lot more exercises to do for the prices we are paying (not just the 5 questions at the end of the lesson).

This program is terrific. It provides great help learning realistic situations in French, which unlike many other programs.

Rocket French is so helpful. It is a fun easy way to learn French. I always want to do it! It is the best way to learn French I have ever seen. It may be expensive but it is worth it!
