Rocket Languages Reviews

its awesome..............................................................................................................

So far, it is an excellent investment. I like the variety of study materials provided for each lesson. As well as giving a little bit of cultural insight into things. There are times when the audio detection seems a bit off and doesn't pick up what you're saying accurately, and it assumes you're saying something totally off. I don't mind repeating myself to get scored correctly; practice makes perfect anyways. Just one minor flaw that I have seen thus far.

Thank you! I love it it's easy and helps me learn any language, not just France happy I get to use this.

Again Thank you! (Sorry didn't really have a lot to say)

Enjoying the course so far. Think I've finally found something, that I will stick with. Hope I will get to fluency! :)

Buggy on Ventura Safari, the most current MacOS and browser version.

Travelogue way too advanced and difficult to avoid.

Encountered user setup error that service and support quickly corrected.

So far greatly prefer Pimsleur and will likely invoke refund option.

Overall, I think the Rocket French folks have developed a pretty good system to learn French, so I won't go into detail about the things that I like. The big downside, however, is how their system tracks how far you've progressed in each module. For example, I just finished module 3.9, and the icons have changed from no color to the following colors and comments:

FLASHCARDS = ORANGE (GOOD)
HEAR-IT = ORANGE (GOOD)
WRITE-IT = ORANGE (GOOD)
KNOW-IT = ORANGE (GOOD)
QUIZ = GREEN (EASY)

That is not sufficient. What I want (and need) to know is how often I have reviewed each module and how I have done each time. So I have created an offline spreadsheet that shows the following for each section that I have studied. For example here is how I have tracked section 3.4 that I have reviewed several times and self-graded:

11/8/22 = D, 11/9/22 = C, 11/20/22 = C, 11/23/22 = B

You can see that first studied this module on 11/8/22, and then reviewed is subsequently three times, and my self-grade has improved from the initial D to a B. And, instead of a self-grade, I would much prefer to see the percentage of answers I got right.

Best learning app i've tried so far! i've used duo, pimsleur, and babbel and this is the best by far.

1. You could give more practice with the words, before passing to the flashcards.
2. More activities can be introduced, such as putting in the missing words in the sentences, and others like those. Currently, the major way of learning is merely the typical drills. It is too much technical, which is good if it is something additional, but without the greater variety of the exercised it is too inhuman, and somewhat boring. I am also comparing it with the Babbel, and they have some adaptions to the humans, when the dialog is going on, and one has to add the missing words. So, more human like activities would be useful.
Cannot say anything about the customer service, because did not use it yet.

I love it. Its thorough and easy to identify weaknesses, continuing to motivate my progress

After seeing many different sources to learn Chinese I am glad I chose Rocket Chinese. I got a great deal during Christmas which was definitely worth its price, and there is a huge amount of material to explore. The best feature that makes the difference is the voice recognition that motivates you to speak and practise pronunciation. Obviously, it is not 100% accurate, but it is much better than expected compared with other voice recognition software. The dialogues are really useful too, and the mini-games are pretty good at helping you learn the new material. The only part that could be added is some exercises to help you learn the characters as this is a challenging part of the language with not enough attention given. Only the Sort It exercises focuses on the characters but it is far too easy and not enough to help you memorise them or understand their meaning.
