Rocket Languages Reviews

I find this an excellent in depth course and I am using it as my joint main study course with ProSpanish and Lightspeed Spanish. I have the best of both worlds: Latin American and Castilian Spanish. My only regret is that my study time is reduced with my wide net of study materials. Compounded by my studies in Rocket German simultaneously. I particularly enjoy the facility of being able to playback phrases and sentences that enable me to enhance my pronunciation. My studies are becoming more centred around this tool. With all three levels to cover in my two courses with Rocket I look forward to a continuing stimulating and colourful experience.

I have studying Mandarin Chinese for about four months. I started with another "highly rated" and very expensive program by a competitor. After two months I could only say hello and goodbye and a lot of phrases which I wasn't sure of their exact meaning and none of them related to any topics I wished to practice at the local Chinese restaurant (you have to look at pictures and decide what is being depicted. No English translations are anywhere in the program). Then I purchased Rocket Chinese and within two weeks, I could actually speak some meaningful Chinese...and know what I was saying...as do the Chinese that I practice with. Rocket Chinese tells you the words, pronounces them correctly for you, slows them down and then adds them to sentences, and speaks them in a dialog with another native Chinese speaker. It also shows you the written characters and the Pinyin language as you go. If you want to learn this difficult language, Rocket Chinese is my recommendation. It doesn't cost you an arm and a leg and you will be speaking basic Chinese almost immediately!!

I have only completed the into to my course but I am finding that navigating the modules is quite user-friendly. I will likely use Rocket Languages again in the future when I try to learn another new language. I am frugal so I hate spending money, but in all actuality, RL is quote comparable to other language apps or programs. I will recommend this app to anyone, and as far as the customer service rating, I rated it a 3 of 5 only because I have not had to use it.

The short time I've used Rocket Language has been tremendous. About half a year ago, I challenged myself to learn Spanish and so started trying the different free options. I found one I liked and poured my time into it, disciplining myself to studying every day. At first I loved it, racking up points and enjoying how successful the app made me feel, yet very soon I became frustrated. Grammar and rules of the language were apparently unimportant as the time was never taken to teach as to why a certain word or phrase was correct. And as for phrases and words that I would actually use in real life? I spent my time talking about giving alcoholic beverages to my pet bear. I soon realized that in regards to learning the language well, I was spinning my wheels.
All that to say this: This program has been a breath of fresh air! Right off the bat, the first lesson gave a tremendous layout of how I am to greet and interact with someone new that I may meet. This was extremely helpful, yet it didn't stop there. I soon found a found tab entitled "Language and Culture." It didn't take long for me to figure out that these lessons taught me the grammar and rules of the Spanish language.

This is the next best thing to working with a real Korean speaker. I think it's very effective to listen to them speak and then see if my speech matches up with theirs. Customer service was helpful too. Overall this is a great way of introducing myself to the language and I'm sure it will help me immensely when I go to Korea. Thank you!

So far so good! I like it better than Rosetta Stone and some other packages that I have tried. I have traveled in Russia, but my language skills were 'survival level' at best. I am hoping to pick up my game.

The package is very well organized and well-planned, but I find it confusing. After completing Duolingo and Santamaria's Synergy Spanish, I'm not finding my proper level in Rocket Spanish and the system doesn't let me move ahead. The first third seems to me not useful to someone who is at the early intermediate stage, and I can't find a way to get into the second level. Instead, I keep getting just the intro material, which I already know. Even at the intro level, some problems jump out at me, such as the sudden addition of past tenses, when presumably the beginner doesn't know the present tense yet.

At first, I was able to record, but that suddenly quit on me, and now I can't. It doesn't matter too much, since I was getting 100% every time on my accent. I will try to manage without that feature. Headphones wouldn't help, since I can hear fine; I just can't record. I would like to advance, but don't see it happening.

This is absolutely the best language product I've bought. It's working great for both me and my daughter, Rocket Language had us speaking a new language right from the start. It is so nice to listen to my daughter speak a new language and now my wife is going to start going through the lessons, this is fantastic!

For five years I've been learning Spanish through books, online programs and other courses. I have had limited success and often gave up for long periods of time before trying again. I never made it past what I would consider a beginning Spanish level.
Rocket Spanish is the first course that I've found truly interesting, engaging, and motivating. Unlike many other learning methods, Rocket Spanish covers learning from all areas: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The course content is interesting and the progression has been at a good pace for me. I have now completed the beginner Spanish level and I'm working through intermediate. This is the first time I've felt comfortable (not lost) with learning Spanish!

I am just starting and find the format very well organized. I speak English, dutch, German, French and yes, luxembourgeois. the last one I picked up phonetically and surprise, it is the only language without a dutch accent. I am now working on Spanish and like the format very much. I also appreciate to be able to see the written text and to be able to have some dictation. In summary after five days I love the course.
