Rocket Languages review criteria
As a language educator for almost 20 years, I can really appreciate the hard work that has gone into the Rocket courses. One part that stands out is the dialogs with the sentence focus and the interactivity with them. The conversations seem quite useful and the 'extra vocabulary' (read: extra expressions) for each lesson are great. When learning any language, improving vocabulary is necessary (of course), the key is doing so in the context of sentences and life-like situations which make them truly more memorable and enjoyable! Rocket does that.
Suggestions to further improve the experience would be:
- Using the audio from section "6. Play it!" provide an additional download 'button' for the role-play's audio only, this is in addition to the entire lesson with the English explanations like you do at the start of each lesson. That would be so helpful to listen to and playback while in the car or on the bus etc.
- 75% speed button for dialogs. Having the option to go a little slower with some of the sentences is really handy to pick up on the exact sounds and then reproduce them.
- End of module review of some type. It could be simply a random selection of content from each subsection and exercise type.
Response from Rocket Languages
-The role play tracks are available, all stitched together in one track. They are in the last Module of each Level. -Noted. The issue is to get this working consistently across all the different browsers and devices. It is something we are looking at. -There are Rocket Certification tests at the end of each Module. Just look at My Dashboard. Note that we recently added a Benchmark test, which is available under My Tools > My Progress Keep up the good work!
I LOVE this course! It's hands-down one of the best ways to learn a new language. After learning new words in one lesson, the following lessons reinforces what has already been learned by allowing us to listen to a real conversation. So, we are not only memorizing words, we're getting a chance to hear the words spoken. We can listen to conversations over and over until we fully understand what is being said.
What is more, each segment that tests our knowledge etches the new words into our memories by writing the words out, saying the words out loud until they are properly pronounced, and reviewing them once again on flash cards. My favorite part, though, is being able to have a makeshift conversation. This is a great program that is worth every single cent!
Whilst I am not a beginner French student I selected that course to access gift beginner Italian for two of my seven year old grandchildren, who are proceeding with joy. The bonus for me is that I'm sailing quickly through the French course and learning a lot more than I ever did in the past. I'm grateful for Rocket's attention to detail, the beautiful pronunciation of native speakers and constant increases in vocabulary with interesting word lists which have jogged my memory from past French study. I have no complaints but only bouquets for your wonderfully entertaining and educative courses. Gracie tante/merci beaucoup!
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 truly enjoy this type of learning. I would say that it is exactly what needed, a module based learning platform to compliment face to face learning. I think this has really reinforced a lot of the language skills I developed. I just know that with more time and consistency Rocket Spanish will help me get to where I want to be! Thank you. I'm so glad I found Rocket Languages after going through many other language programs. This one works best for me.
Rocket is absolutely brilliant. The way to learn a language is to see it, speak it, and write it. It is obvious a lot of thought has gone into the way the system is set up, from starting off with commonly used sentences, to gradually working in spelling, pronunciation, grammar, language, and cultural lessons. There are so many great features, like being able to record and play back conversations, using flashcards, spelling reviews, etc. I'm a new user, but I've used other off-line and on-line language courses for Spanish, and Rocket French is far superior. Sometimes the cheapest way to do something is to pay for it, and that is true in this case. It is money well worth spending.
I've used several trial versions of online Hindi courses and Rocket was my choice at the end. Best price, online version is fully downloadable, allowing you to learn on the move, exercises are fun and pertinent, lessons teach you words and sentences that you can immediately use with friends or at work or in chat app with Hindi speaking people.
I've used several of the other "top" programs, however, Rocket Spanish is by far above and beyond any of them. Consider Rocket Languages as immersion and lessons combined...doesn't get any better.
I would like to learn Korean on my different devices, Mac, iPad and MS Surface, but I have no clue, how the program remembers how far I had already advanced on one device, when I continue with another. There is apparently no way to log in with my ID and Password, so that the program knows who I am. This feature probably exist, but it is difficult to find out where and how.
Note from Rocket Languages: Hi Jac, thanks for your feedback. Someone of our customer support team has reached out to you to solve this issue. All the best with your Korean learning! Your Rocket Languages Team
I am heading to Costa Rica early next year for a vacation and thought it would be good to have some local Spanish language skills. I tried a few on-line and other software program trials but found Rocket to have what I wanted at the price I was willing to pay. I am 69 so learning new things is quite a bit more difficult than it used to be, but it keeps my mind active which is a benefit most people would not think of. So far I am enjoying the program and have learned quite a bit. This program also goes into why things are said the way they are said and also provides you with additional info to add to your learning experience. As with learning any language, practice is necessary. Rocket provides an easy and precise way of practicing any or all of what you have learned which is very helpful and doesn't require you to "endure" the things you don't want to replay. I did use the Rocket customer service regarding two questions I had. They were very responsive and resolved my needs. So far I am quite pleased with my purchase and recommend it to others
