Rocket Languages Reviews

i like the rocket japenese learning system because i have learned so much and i want to go to japan when i grow up and there is a great video game company that i want to work for and i want to be a missionare.

I have 3 previous French courses (Premium, Premium Plus, and Platinum). I have been extremely satisfied with them; I listen to the audio lessons all of the time to increase my comprehension of spoken French. I purchased the Travelogue package and have been very disappointed that the audio is in English. Without being able to listen to the entire lesson in French, it completely takes away the audio experience and turns it into just a series of exercises to be completed. Is there any way to change the audio portion into French, instead of the woman reading the lesson in English?

So I have no chrome only safari but the problem is it keeps not detecting my voice I said it perfectly but I keep saying a ne it doesn’t ever detect my voice

My feelings with this course are quite mixed. On one hand, there is a lot of material and you pick up useful phrases from the very start. On the other hand there are several issues which in the long run are quite frustrating especially in the testing part

1) Apart from the Quiz section, everything else is clearly automatically generated from the material. This means you can have the same word repeated 2 or 3 times. In the "Know it" part there are cases where you cannot know what to say because two words have the same english translation (tourist).
2) Speech recognition is frustrating. It stops listening while you are talking, sometimes it doesn't want to recognize what you say no matter what (I even tried playing back the native audio from my phone near to the computer microphone, and it didn't even recognize the native speaker!) and sometimes it says 100% even if you mess up a few syllables.

Unbelievable!!! Did I ever know that learning a language could be so fun and interesting. I am my own Master!! Its all entirely up to me how fast and how much I learn. With all the interesting features, who wouldn't look forward to moving to the next level everyday!!!

Hi, I am a composer and I am 61 years old. That means on one side that I know a lot about memorizing music, that has - like language - also rhythm and sound. On the other hand my brain is not so young like a 20 years old person. That means, that I am happy for any help for memorizing the vocabulary, sentences, sounds, rhythms of the language I am learning. In my case that is KOREAN, very difficult to learn for a western educated person like me.

Overall I am very satisfied with RocketKorean! Thank you very much! I tried out many competitor's software on the net, but finally I decided for RocketKorean as the best I could find.

But, because I tried out many other software, and because I am a professional musician, I have some suggestions to enhance RocketKorean. But first I appologize for naming an other product: Pimsleur

Pimsleur has bad speakers in their Korean course, also for German the male voice has an Berlin-accent etc. Pimsleur also is very poor on writing skills and on Korean culture.

But one thing is more sophisticated and elaborated: the half hour daily lecture with a rhythm of repetition that was constructed by the brain scientist Pimsleur. Also speaking words by syllables backward.

I've been trying to learn Italian for a few years now. I've tried everything from online classes to free programs like Duolingo. While I've learned some things, they all pale in comparison to what I've learned in just one week with Rocket Italian. I listen to the conversations while I make and eat breakfast, then I go to the program throughout the day to master the lesson. The following day, I review all previous lessons and then I move on to the next. I finally feel like I'm learning something!

I was waiting until i had completed the whole course to write a review and today is that day. I can't praise this Rocket Arabic programme enough, i now feel like i am at an intermediate speaking level of Egyptian Arabic thanks to this. Being half Egyptian myself I had always wanted to learn the language as unfortunately i wasn't taught it growing up, so i thought i would take matters into my own hands and purchase a programme to teach it myself and i'm so glad i chose this one. I now feel that i will be able to communicate well with my family when i visit Egypt and will be able to understand a lot of things. The programme is well layed out and Hany and Amira are great characters, i had fun learning and listening to each module. The voice recording feature is wonderful and a great addition to the course, if i found at times it didn't work properly i would just refresh the page and it would work perfectly fine. I also like the fact that i can go back to it and go over everything i've learnt whenever i want. Thank you so much and i hope to see a level 2 of Egyptian Arabic in the future!

I recommend this to anyone who would like to learn a new language fast and easy and on their own time. My experience has been great, learning when I want and how I want. Some days I focus on vocabulary and other days I just listen to the audio. This program is definitely a good way to get started with a language but real mastery will come from using the new language in the outside world but I believe this program can really help you achieve this.

I love that it uses phrases to teach the vocabulary and doesn't spend hours on learning individual letters. The ability to practice conversations and see how well you are pronouncing the foreign words is a great benefit.
