Rocket Languages Reviews

Today is my 100th consecutive day [I am on 13.1] I am so glad I purchased RS.
Take advantage of their free trial and see for yourself.
I researched a variety of Spanish learning options. I decided I needed a solid, well-thought-out program that would be my every single day go-to “class”. I get to read as I listen (visual learner) and then I do their Activities. Later I use many other inputs (podcasts, youtube, readers, duolingo story, children’s bible) with my interest (bees, surfing, running) being the guide and allow myself to hop around on a whim.
With the confidence I gained, I finally cooked up enough courage and began using ConversationExchange. This has led me to ‘just going for it’ with locals I think might be monolingual Sp speakers. My Sp is ‘not perfect’, but I can communicate and I am improving every day, and having fun!
Some highlights of RS for me: I can listen on my trail runs and biking, interesting hosts/topics, Activities (what you sow is what you reap), ‘pep-talk’ section, cogent, computer or phone, convenience. It forced me/allowed me to develop my listening/speaking at my own pace and comfort level. Hopefully next summer will be covid-safe to visit Costa Rica and I will have completed Level 3 (with lots of review also) and I will be even stronger with my Sp.

A great start to learning the German language. The interactive lessons are so clear. Makes me want to challenge and improve my German. I am very happy with my everyday lessons and repeating it when I need to. Thanks to all involved.

I have been thoroughly impressed with Rocket Language. The best part is that it teaches you how to have real conversations instead of just learning lists of words and conjugations. I have already advanced to the higher level and my proficiency has improved dramatically. I have gone back and listened to lessons that I struggled with in the past, and now, they seem so easy. Rocket Language has been the best source for learning Spanish, more than anything else I have ever tried.

Rocket japan is great, I haven't finished yet but I can already talk to my Japanese classmates. I had purchased it during a sale and got all 3 levels for 150 which for me made it a good deal but after using it I definitely would have bought it at full price. definitely recommend this if you're on the fence between two different programs rocket japan is just so polished, not to mention they have an app that works amazingly well. 10 out of 10 I recommend.

TL:DR -These courses are worth bothering with and a fair deal but don't expect perfection or a miracles.

This was sold to me (by external reviews) as being better than Rosetta stone and the current market leader in comprehensive language learning for self study, and yeah it is better and may be the best all around, but it's still far from perfect. There are other products that are distinctly better for certain aspects of Japanese study, but this one is a good all-rounder.

It is very much like a by the book language study course that you would get in a generic language school.
It's not groundbreaking, but it's very solid and should successfully teach any diligent student some extent of their target language.

Given that you get hundreds of hours of lessons that you can do at your own pace I think the price is great value but I can't quite give 5 stars because there are some flaws in the product and service.

Unlike many free apps you aren't limited to 5 or 10 mins per day which means that the system can take its time to teach you slowly and methodically, and that if you have a lot of free time (and almost everybody does at the time of writing mid-April 2020) then you can do an hour or more everyday.

I came to Rocket Japanese as a refugee from Duolingo. It is so good to use such a well thought out and "grown up" programme. I am especially pleased to have so much listening and speaking practice. I guess it would be very challenging to start as an absolute beginner; I'm glad I already know hiragana, katakana and a few kanji.

I indicated I would be likely to buy again because I didn't want to give a negative response, but it's a one off subscription so I don't need to, Great!
I've been using Rocket Japanese for 38 days.

I have now completed over 100 days and have to say I am even more pleased with the course now. In addition to the excellent course materials if you do have a query you get a very prompt and helpful reply. Very encouraging.

265 day update: I'm now finding the course quite challenging, which is a good thing. The language has become more complex. I like the way vocabulary and grammar you have already learned keeps cropping up again to help reinforce what I have learned.

I am an ESL teacher and I purchased both French and Spanish for my homeschoolers. I am impressed with how much they have learned and retained. We have tried many other programs and apps, but none seemed to have all parts of language learning offered. Rocket Languages is easy to use and helps to train the ear to native speaking. I like that it also encompasses reading, writing, and some parts of grammar without being overdone with endless drills. The only thing I would change is through the use of pictures to reinforce vocabulary possibly in a vocabulary flashcard sort of way. Overall a great program!

I decided not to pursue learning French after paying for the course the week after I purchased it as I wanted to change to the Italian course instead. I asked for a refund twice through the help section and have still not received a refund or acknowledgment that I have asked for a refund. This is a real shame as I was going to purchase the Italian course once I got the refund now I don't trust Rocket Languges to fulfill their promises.

Awesome does not express how really really ausgezeichnet the program is. Every time I come back to the lessons, I learn something new. Each lesson provides practice in many different situations. The tests at the end of the lessons are a little too easy, but it works. Being able to add words to my vocabulary is also a great feature. I really enjoy the option to take the final exams. That gives me a very good idea of how I am progressing.

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.
