Rocket Languages Reviews

The designers of this course seem to have thought of everything: practice in understanding with clear, lively speakers, practice in speaking, checking pronunciation with voice recognition recording, cultural and grammar tips, many different ways to practice and reinforce learning, videos to teach writing, lots of support. I'm enjoying the course very much.

Rocket Language is the best language learning program and I know from experience having most of them. My favorite part of Rocket Languages is ease of use.

What I like about this course is the great emphasis given to pronunciation, since it is so difficult to speak french. But Paul greatly annoys me in those introduction audios to each lesson, because he talks too much...!! He's such a time consumer... I tend to keep jumping many "ten seconds" to dig into the proper french..

My favorite thing about Rocket Japanese is the amount of practice it gives you for each thing it teaches. The repetition is very helpful, as well as the variety of ways it repeats things (listening, speaking, writing, flashcards, etc.). My only complaint is that the content is highly geared towards tourists, which I didn't know before buying. Many of the phrases aren't very helpful for someone planning to live in Japan.

I've taken up to the Advanced II level of Japanese classes at my university. I made the decision to stop taking classes and self-study so that I would graduate sooner. For someone with ADHD like me, Rocket Languages is perfect! There's much more structure that Rosetta Stone or JapanesePod101, and it's more accurate than Duolingo. As long as you purchase during one of the sales, it's a great deal for the price and perfect for self-study or supplementing classes!

This is so good in school I was the cleverest in the whole school because of this helpful app I always go on it and i learn different languages each week so THANK YOU

The Culture lessons leave so much to be desired. Why waste one on Che Guevarra, el Matar de la Cabana?

It's good and easy to understand basics things in Portuguese

I am just staring this class but it is wonderful.

I've been using Rocket Italian since about March 2019 and I purchased the program because I am required to pass a language exam. I purchased all 3 levels and if you are someone traveling to Italy or learning basic conversational skills this program is great. However, if you have more intermediate needs this program is just ok. It would be nice if there were more breakdowns of the conversations once you get more advanced and provide simple words or phrases to translate. While building skills, the program will ask you to learn the verb to have and memorize extremely long sentences in the same lesson. This happens most lessons and is ineffective for my learning because it doesn't help you practice the skill and learn competency but memorization.

One of the tenses used most often in my work is the historic past and this tense is the one with the least information and preparation. Beyond that, what I've noticed is that the program pushes you to learn specific meanings of words. For example, in one lesson that began with the word "well" I responded with a translation of dunque. The program marked me wrong and was looking for allora. Both are acceptable translations and I am likely to come across both.
