Rocket Languages Reviews

It's challenging, but I hope to learn more each day. This is only my second lesson in the trial but I'm hopeful and excited. So far the lessons seem relevant in context to real life conversations and interactions. I am only on my first month of study but other lessons I've tried did not use any relevant conversation in context. I've read good reviews about rocket to lead me here, so I will make a good review from what i have seen so far. I have a specific language learning goal to be able to communicate with a korean family member in one year. I'm not sure if that is specific enough, but I'm certain that I will at least be able to have a simple conversation with her already when the same time using duolingo didn't teach me anything useful.

A very disappointing course. May I suggest that you review the free DUOLINGO course and try and learn from them. I have also found many errors in the text. No, I do not intend to go back through and innumerate them for you.

I just LOVE my Rocket French courses. I purchased the complete packages (Rocket French 1, 2, 3) 2 years ago and I study every day. I am 50 years old and I have never studied French language. My daughter speaks French fluently through. She says that my French is improving rapidly and I am gaining excellent accent. Also, some of my friends are impressed by my new level.
My advice:
*Practice daily, at least 20 minutes.
*Not in the car but at home for deep concentration.
*Solve all the exercises
Practice makes perfect.

You should try as many resources as possible when learning a new language. Prior to Rocket Languages, I consulted a textbook, Rosetta Stone software, and Pimsleur audio lessons. The Rocket Languages program is the most balanced approach, when it comes to learning styles.

Textbook
+ Index and dictionary
+ Many opportunities for explanation and background information
- Very linear
- Not immersive

Rosetta Stone
+ The most vocabulary
+ Visual reinforcement through images
+ Very slick interface
- No English
- No explanations
- Images are bad at expressing multiple ideas
- Images are bad at expressing time and use of tenses
- The grading scale is unhelpful

Audible
+ Efficient explanations
+ Easy progression in small steps
+ Lots of repetition
- The reading lessons are tacked on at the end
- Poor exposure to the written word
- Poor explanation of tenses

Rocket Languages
+ Listening, Reading, and Speaking functionality is strongly integrated
+ High quality audio
+ PDF handouts and downloads make it easy to learn away from the computer
+ Curriculum offers multiple definitions, when appropriate
- The progression is a little fast
- Needs more repetition within the audio lessons
- Maybe pair the audio lessons with a slideshow for visual reinforcement?

Rocket Languages is the best value, when compared to other learning solutions. I will go to Rocket Languages first when I try my next language.

Rocket Sign Language has given me greater enthusiasm to gauge myself for further knowledge and experience. It has laid to rest some of the doubts I had with respects to enhancing my fingerspelling.

Well, this is not awesome, actually. Just a couple of things.
1) First of all I am very pleased with the product overall. I don't have much to compare it to as it is the first time I have purchased a language program. But I did sign up for trial periods for several and I thought Rocket was the best overall. So I am pleased.

2) However, I acted too quickly to purchase during my trial period because only 2 days after making my purchase the product went on sale. I called customer service twice (never got to talk to a real person either time) and had to leave a message as there was no one to answer the phone. I wanted to see if I could get the sale price. To this day I still have not gotten a call back. So...kinda disappointed in the customer service actually. Maybe next time I won't act so quickly. : /

I have only been doing the Spanish course for nine days, and I have already learned so much Spanish! The course is very well designed, and repeating lessons from previous days really helps reinforce what I have learned. Definitely a great program for anyone who is interested in learning a new language.

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.

I'm currently using Rocket Languages to learn more Chinese. I live in China right now and what I really enjoy about these lessons is that they are immediately applicable. I studied for 30 minutes yesterday and immediately had new vocabulary to use with my Chinese friends. I'm feeling quite positive about this language course.
