I think the course is very well structured and easy to follow. Speakers Nik and Paul are very nice. Recommended !
Rocket Languages really inspired that everyone can learn a different language always.

Je suis tres content avec le course francais, mais cette ce le commence. Je adore apprendre langues et Je espere parler et ecouter tres bien le francais.
A bientot
Decent program, the voice recording and speak detection leaves a lot to be desired but at least it gets you to speak. My main issue is with the module tests at the end of the lessons, they crash and reset the entire test once you get to the end of a section. It is not worth doing.

Hi Brian - We sent you an email asking for more clarification on the Module Tests issue. We haven't had any other reports of issues with this so would be keen to get to the bottom of it.
The fact that Keni and Sayaka, native Japanese, do the speaking, and then Sarah, an American, does the explaining, is quite helpful as it allows for you hear what it would sound when spoken by a native, but it is easier to understand when being explained. I am pretty happy with it so far, albeit I haven't really gotten that far in. I purchased all 3 lessons so I sure as hell hope its good all the way through! There seems to be around 200 lessons I have to get through, so it will certainly keep me occupied for a while. Here are my two complaints, I hope these are fixed in the future because I think it would truly be a nearly perfect language learning course after that:
#1. I think a lot of us have this issue. The microphone does not work well, even with headphones. It's often with shorter words, and I understand that's simply because shorter words are harder to pick up with speech recognition. Albeit, when the internet is slow, none of them work.
#2: This is the most important: what would be extremely helpful is text documents going into greater depth on grammar and structure. I know that we're sort of supposed to learn that long the way, but at the beginning you are left feeling sort of lost, and we will have to learn these rules at some point. Having a reference point to study up on would be infinitely helpful in terms of grammar. And this wouldn't even require much, I do not think--perhaps a PDF a few pages long telling the basic rules of Japanese.

Hi Aldrich - Thanks for your review. We are actually at the start of a project to completely redo the Rocket Japanese Language lessons so that they are far more closely aligned with the JLPT structure. We hope to have the Level 1 of these new lessons out within a couple of months. At the same time we will be looking at the voice recognition examples and making those better if need be.
So far level 1 of Rocket Italian is pretty easy. Spanish is my native language. My only concern is if the later modules will go more in depth into Italian slang (depending on region). From personal experience I find that most people who learn Spanish later in life use terminology that native speakers don't use. Or don't understand "improper" Spanish. Also out of curiosity, have you guys considered offering a rated-R version of Rocket language learning? Lol
It's a fine course. It's easy and gets you working on it each day. Nevertheless, the whole program is not that advanced. I was looking for something that can take me from B1 to C or so.
Rocket (Spanish) is, I believe, a great language learning program. I say “I believe” because I have been using it a short time and have not successfully learned a Spanish, yet.
Pros:
I chose Rocket over courses from other companies because the trial demonstrated that it is more thorough.
It also seemed to focus on Mexican Spanish instead of European. Since I live in California, this is important to me.
The instructors are very clear and entertaining. Pro reviews say they are a bit cheesy but I do not think so.
A clean user interface that works well on my iOS devices. It is not as pretty as, say, Memrise or Duolingo, but it is well structured.
For my learning styles I feel the audio lesson, followed by an activity, flash cards, reading, writing and quiz is more thorough than any others have to offer.
Lessons are downloadable on my iOS devices, but...
Cons
...i stay in a hotel with poor wifi and although I download the lessons at home, for some reason my iPad (wifi only) will sit there and spin like its trying to stream the lesson, even though i had previously downloaded it, and this prevents me from even using the lesson at all when it does this
VERY EXPENSIVE. I paid almost $300 for the program for all levels lifetime.

Hi Brian - Good news! The 2021 Edition of our courses will be out soon and all current members, like yourself, will get that update for free.
I have only had it one day and love it already. I'm looking forward to my journey.
