Rocket Languages Reviews

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

Hello theeere (:)

I'm a 22 years old student from Genève
Nice to meet you! ~

Such a good experience with your korean learning method ! It, so far and for me, has had everything I would wish I had in a school for foreign languages learners. Plus I can do everything how I want! This is awesome. And you even have put a "reset" button in the "Hear it, Say it; Write it; Know it!" section. It's awesome! So that when a nice refresh in something is needed, there isn't problems of any sort allowing ourselves that "refresh". And so many other details of that kind, that are just so very important, are present as well. You know, as a Swiss person, I am very aware of quality and detail. We're very much like the Japanese people for that! We're very exigent for many, many many things. First of all our own selves, of course (;)! That's also why I appreciate your method so much; I'm not afraid of lacking things I would find important or anything in that sense, because everything is in here! Also; when one could get the feeling not to be efficient enough for her/his expectations considering her/his-self, there are no external reasons at all feeling ashamed about what other people could say about us.

I love how organized it is. Rocket Languages also does a fantastic job at keeping track of progress and achievements, which is nice. The way the language is taught has been fairly simple so far, which makes it easy to remember and to understand.

This reviews Rocket Languages' Chinese Premium and Premium Plus. The program is well organized in its audio and website. Audio lessons use a typical conversation to teach new words and basic grammar lessons. Lin Ping, the teacher for the course, has a good clear Northern Chinese accent and speaks the majority of the time. It is peculiar that she converses with Dave, an Austrailian with a good accent, but not one I'd try to imitate if I was trying to blend in while visiting. This is fixed in the Premium Plus section. There is some English to introduce the subject and context, but the majority of the lesson is repeating words while you can follow a written transcript in Pinyin and I think Simplified characters. Then you practice memorizing by repeating sections of the conversation, hearing and identifying words, and speaking the words in Chinese knowing their equivalent in English. (hard!) The only major complaint is a lack of a translation dictionary to double check if the words you are adding to your vocabulary have the right definition (the audio tapes breeze through definitions only once); when looking up a word you will most often find it used in other lessons/sentences.

The lessons have so many different aspects to them! Starting the first module, I thought it would take forever to get the basics down. But after doing every quiz and flashcard, pronouncing for the microphone every phrase, and even doing the writing portions, I realized how much I was learning in just one lesson. It takes time, dedication, hard work, and persistence. But if you're trying to learn another language, you shouldn't be surprised. The lessons are all-encompassing, helpful, and informative. Also, even just the weekly blogs on studying or learning a language are helpful because they can tell you what to do outside of the lessons to help you learn. This site isn't here to make you memorize. It's here to help you learn.

I just finished Lesson-1 and I'm happy with the structure of the lesson and my progress. Starting Lesson-2

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 am happy with course and i reommend to my friends

I have been doing Rocket German for over a year and absolutely love it. Although I come from a family where my Dad and a few siblings are passionate about languages like Latin, Ancient Greek, Italian, and even Mandarin, I never felt like I acquired the genes for it. Worse yet, I spent years telling myself I wasn't good at languages. I went to Berlitz to learn French without much success and tried Duolingo for German, but Rocket German blows them both away. I even have fun with the lessons. I especially like Nik and Paul, the two teachers who do Level 1. I never expected to laugh out loud using a language app, but I have on multiple occasions. (Please bring them back for more Language & Culture lessons.) Sandra, Sarah, and Mattias in Level 2 are great as well. In short, this really is fun. And doable. I WILL be fluent. And it will be thanks to Rocket German.

I have tried rosetta stone live mocha and berlitz. It is simple easy cost effective method of learning spanish. i have tried other software. This is great learning tool. i have tried arabic language course before. that was also good. I can learn on my pace flex schedule.
