Rocket Languages Reviews

I am just completing the 2nd module of level 2 German. I did the beginners Rosetta beginners course and that has got me to the right level for Rocket level 2. I like the Rocket approach which I think works better than Rosetta would when things get a little more complicated as the Rosetta method is done without a single word of English in the course which can make it hard to work out what is going on if a simple picture isn’t enough.

The material covered looks appropriate for someone wanting to go and live in Germany so it has stuff about opening a bank account and renting a flat, but it would also be good for a tourist who wants to really experience Germany.

Customer service has been helpful if a little slow once I cottoned on to the fact that it is best to contact them via Help on the main site rather than help from the German dashboard help. But I have had very few problems so far.

This is a really good language program. My own progress is slow because time is limited, but that does not bother me as I know Rocket Hindi remains available to me at all times, and repeating a lesson several times is not a bit burdensome. If I cannot sit down to study, I just play the audios while I get on with something else, and the sounds and rhythms of the language sink in.
I seem to be very good at pronunciation, because Rocket HIndi tells me I am, and I can hear it too! So I feel less worried that my vocabulary needs constant repetition.
Rocket Hindi is fun as well as informative and user-friendly, and the interface is terriffic.
I would recommend it to anyone.

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!

It is very frustrating that I cannot offline download the lessons in the app itself on my iPhone. It would have been better that way. I want to be able to use it in the car that way. I know you can download it through iTunes, but that is too cumbersome.

Over the years I've tried to learn German through adult ed classes (results depended too much on individual teacher), Rosetta Stone (a very poor approach), and Duolingo (good, but missing some important learning elements). I love the multi-faceted Rocket Language approach and it's the method that works for me! Vielen Dank!

Rocket italian is not bad, but it could be so much better.

I'm still studying Level 1 - Unit 3 but I have noticed several issues:
- The audio tracks are a bit long for my taste. They take from 20 to 30 minutes and are spoken very slowly. The website and the app don't allow you to speed it up, so you have to download the tracks in order to do it;
- The conversations are between a native italian and a heavily accented american. I am not a native english speaker and several of the rocket students also aren't so I don't see why not using only native italian speakers on the audio tracks
- There are several small translation mistakes and inadequacies, over time they start being annoying;
- Some audios should be reviewed/updated, the other day I heard one that made reference to the year 2008.

Also, Rocket Languages is oblivious to the existence of potential students in developing countries (as in my case) when establishing their pricing strategy. These courses are way more expensive for me, for instance, as they are for my american or european counterparts, when purchase power is concerned.

Rocket languages also does not give meaningful discounts when you enroll in more than one language.

I've tried books, CDs and tapes. Rocket German is the easiest, fastest, most economical and fun! Once you get started the enthusiasm begins. Emails from Rocket German are very encouraging also! Don't waste your time or money on anything else. Rocket Languages is the by far the best language course you can use and by far the cheapest! I'm going to Germany next year and am very confident that I'll be speaking like the natives! I'm also blessed to have German friends here that I can practice with. They tell me "Du sprichst gut Deutsch!" Vielen Dank Rocket Languages!

I started out as a beginner French speaker, unable to communicate or understand the French language even at a basic level. However, 9 months later after completing the first three levels of the Rocket French course, I can confidently say that I am at an intermediate level of French. I was hoping to become fluent in the end, but I've learned that even the best French courses probably won't get you there. Learning another language is so much more than sitting in front of a computer, but this course really pushed me out of my comfort zone. At times I felt discouraged and didn't think what I was learning was valuable, but looking back and seeing just how far I've come, it was definitely worth the investment. This course offers so much variety, includes tremendous explanations and stimulates your brain by always being one step ahead of you. I would recommend this course because of its price, its structure, and the fact that it takes you from not being able to pronounce a single word in the language, to intermediate communication and comprehension. While Rocket French gives you all the tools you need to succeed, the results will depend on how much effort you are willing to put in while completing the course, and afterwards.

I have just returned to Rocket German after a break of a few months and what a change for the better. As far as I can tell everything in both the Android app and the Windows version now functions flawlessly. I can take advantage of all the features and learning German with Rocket Languages has become a pleasure again. Rocket German is definitely my language learning programme of choice.
It really works too. I am currently visting Germany and can understand most of what is said. More surprisingly Germans even seem to understand me, which has not always been the case in the past. In fact I am so pleased that I am seriously considering trying the French version to see if it will help me brush up my very rusty French.

I've been around the language learning game for about 10 years now. (Programs, methods, etc. I have 1000s of books in 20+ languages) At first, as with any program, I'm skeptical. Rocket Languages is fantastic, to say the least. It gets you speaking, using real world situations and phrases that bring your conversational fluency up very quickly. The mobile app is awesome, I use it at work and at the airport/ while traveling. I wish there was some sort of package deal because I see myself buying them all. I recommend this program to all my friends that want to learn a language.

Really the only complaint I have is that the 3 levels isn't offered in every language, and that I live behind my computer because this stuff is addicting :D

Rocket, if you see this is there a package deal for everything? :D
