Rocket Languages Reviews

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.

Really good program to improve lost skills. Signing gets lost when not practiced

I've been using Rocket for the past month along with a couple other language programs (Pimsleur, transparent, Duolingo, and Memrise) to boost my learning of Portuguese. Overall, I really like Rocket. The ability to download the audio is a big help as I commute a lot. The audio training is not as in depth as Pimsleur, but it is very good. The variety of lessons and the ability to jump around is great. The leader board helps to provide incentive to keep practicing which helps. Also, the entire program is very well rounded.

I sometimes have trouble with the record audio but it works most of the time. It is nice to be able to hear your own voice and compare to the teachers for accuracy. My biggest complaint with Rocket Portuguese is with the male speaker (Paulo). His pronunciation of words ending in "s" has a very harsh "sh" sound which is completely different from the female teacher and every other audio teacher I have heard. Words like "Bem vindos" which has a soft "os" ending are pronounced like "Bem vindoosh". I can understand that Paulo may be from a different part of Brazil and perhaps it is pronounced that way there. However, when every other teacher pronounces it with a soft ending you want to practice and mimmic the right way.

Overall, this is a great program and I plan on becoming conversationally fluent with Portuguese with Rocket's help.

I have been looking for a language program to learn Egyptian Arabic that does not teach using pictures/flash card type learning. Finally, I found it! The price is fantastic for a "lifetime membership". I am only on the first lesson and I can already converse with my fluent boyfriend and his father, who is from Egypt. I love Rocket Language!

So far so good. I have been trying to learn Spanish for many years. I was never fully committed. I am super determined now. I am taking a trip to Spain in May. I was using Rosetta Stone which was good. I am enjoying Rocket more. It is more engaging and interesting. I am actually using it at work with my Spanish speaking patients. I have several co workers who are fluent in Spanish and they are impressed with my knowledge base in such a short time period.

I started learning Egyptian Arabic with a teacher, however only learning from a teacher does not satisfy me, I had to do more! My problem was, I could not find an application that could help me with Egyptian especially, all of them were for Modern Standard Arabic. Thanks to Rocket Languages I am able to enjoy the experience.

If you're anything like me, you've tried to learn Japanese with Duolingo and bounced off. Rocket Japanese is, in a lot of ways, almost a polar opposite.

Instead of throwing a whole new alphabet at you immediately, Rocket Japanese starts with speaking exercises and lets you pick it up gradually. Instead of random computer-generated sentences, you get a coherent sequence of lessons where each one flows naturally into the next. Instead of having you guess important grammar rules, Rocket Japanese patiently explains them to you in an easy-to-understand way. The audio lessons in particular stand out -- they're fun and kind of kitschy in a way that made me feel nostalgic for high-school Spanish videotapes -- and you can try the first couple for free!

After just a month of using Rocket Language I couldn't be happier with a language learning program. I spent a good amount of time reading over reviews of language programs online and Rocket Language was highly recommended in multiple reviews. As a first time language learner, and as a teacher of ELL, the program has exceeded my expectations. Listening comprehension, reading, writing and speaking are the four essentials to learning a new language, and Rocket incorporates all this disciplines in its program. I am definitely receiving more than I bargained for, and at a lower price than university courses. I highly recommend purchasing this program.

This app is just plain amazing. I teaches you step by step. I use this app to learn Korean and I've used many other apps besides this but they didn't really last. But this has me logging in and out. I really recommend this!

Since I already have a second language, I wanted to learn this language for a while but when I imagine having to go through the process of learning a new language all over again, my motivation just disappeared.

This app for some reason just made me get my motivation up and going. I can speak easy words of my second language and write a few words with it so I'm at that point where I have to take things to a whole new level for me to increase my knowledge in this language. So, I chose to learn multiple languages.

Keep it up Rocket Languages!
