Rocket Languages Reviews

I bought Rocket French, Spanish, and Portuguese, and am thrilled with it. I rarely write review, but my husband and I were just enjoying it (in preparation for a sabbatical year in Spain and France) and we are grateful we have this (as a lifetime resource no less).

The free trial was very good. Elected to purchase 1st set based on the free trial. Had some issues with unlocking the purchased due to my error. This was pointed out by a very helpful customer service person, however, it did take sometime for a response. Got very frustrated waiting for a response after several emails, / customer help calls.

Once unlocked my account works really well. The lessons are on point and user friendly. Strongly recommend.

Very Helpful this website to learn new languages ^_^ I am fully enjoying my first language i want to learn this is a Korean Language hehehehe^^ Thanks.. Thanks for the free trial ^_^ I will highly recommend to others.

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 purchased the entire Rocket Japanese set (beginners, intermediate, advanced) for an amazing deal offered on Thanksgiving. I really, really like the way it's organized and the flow of the lessons from one to another. For the first week, I made the mistake of not learning the characters in tandem with learning the spoken word - you really have to learn them both together. People on the forum (which is very friendly with very helpful posts/responses) talked me into studying the characters at the same time. I thought it would be overwhelming, but it wasn't at all!! In fact, within 3 weeks, I will have learned all the characters - much less intimidating than I thought. I feel very confident that when I visit Japan towards the end of the year, I'll have a great grasp of the language, both spoken and written.

The only negative is the support. It takes days for anyone to get back to you. The first time I submitted a question, I think it took 5 days for a response. Luckily, my question are associated with profile questions, not support for the product, otherwise I'd find that very irritating.

I like the interaction in the 'Play it' section but there are problems;

1. The programme frequently states that it has not heard my reply - despite that when I press playback my reply is very clearly there - this is very frustrating and time consuming.

2. The programme makes no allowance for a beginner taking time making a reply which inevitably takes a lot longer than a fluent speaker would take - this again is very frustrating and prevents making best use of the programme.

I like the way you have to talk. I have been trying to learn spanish fore a few years now, and I can understand a lot.
But when it comes to talking i got stuck.
Now after almost finishing the first module I see that I can answer the questions in the lessons not only repeating, but building new sentences with other words.
I am confident that I will learn to speak.

It is very easy to download an audio lecture and listen along in the car. 20 minute lectures aren't too long to become bored or tired, and they're not too short to feel like you didn't receive enough information. I am not great at learning languages, but this program is actually helping me understand and speak Italian rather quickly!

I am enjoying this learning system. It gets right down to business and I like that.

I moved to Austria four years ago, and I could not have been so successful without Rocket German! Rocket German helped me launch my German language career in Austria. Using only Rocket German as my primary guide, I was able to get around quite comfortably using the basic phrases I had learned. From then on I have continued to expand my vocabulary through the lessons and through my own experience. I now have a job here and work primarily in German. Rocket Languages continues to improve usability and learning options every year without making per-existing students pay more for the additional features. With the App, I can take the lessons everywhere I go now! I always recommend Rocket Languages as the best place to begin the study of new languages! Thanks Rocket German!
