Rocket Languages review criteria
I was pleasantly surprised by Rocket Japanese, I had tried other language learning websites before. But, none of them gave me the feeling of control that Rocket Japanese gives. With this website I can choose what I want to learn: when, for how long, and how much I want to cover. I think anyone serious about Rocket Japanese should at least give it a try.
Rocket Languages are extremely easy to follow and understand. The best feature is the listen and record. This way you can record yourself speaking and compare it to the native speaker to make sure you are speaking correctly. My main concern is not speaking correctly and sounding or looking ignorant for not knowing.
I enjoy the explanations behind what is being learned and the pace of learning. The length of the lessons are reasonable and the repetition is not too much, but just enough to keep you moving at a decent incline towards your French speaking goals. I enjoy looking over past lessons for review and find the program easy to navigate.
I love how this is a professional-appearing and organized curriculum. I feel assured that the lessons go into such care and detail that I am faithfully being taught right, starting from the basics. I love how each lessons requires the use of several different learning techniques, ¡eso es demasiado importante! I also love how there are SO many included resources and materials for you to use whenever. I feel that the way that this course is set up makes it easy to check and monitor your actual progress, but you are also given enough freedom to learn how you can learn best. Thank you for this!!
I've seen the light. This is definitely how Languages should have been taught.
Response from Rocket Languages
We completely agree, Jaakko, and are glad to hear that you're getting a lot out of the comprehensive nature of our Rocket Russian course. Keep up the great work!
I have been using Rocket Spanish for a while now, beginning with the second level, then, when I realized it was too advanced, moving back to level 1.
Overall, it has been very helpful to me. I like practicing the conversations, and once I got my microphone to work, the voice activities were great.
However, there are a few issues. First, until just recently, you were able to flag vocabulary words as you moved through a lesson that would then be stored in your saved vocabulary. But now I can't do that. I've reported the problem and have heard nothing back.
I did not get a "deal" when I joined, so I paid full price, which was a bit high compared to other programs.
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.
I am so grateful for this because I have family friends who speaks Spanish to each other and I feel uneducated. But now, I can maintain a conversation and it feels great to know that we can communicate with each other. This program has helped me more than any teacher I had in my high school and I wish I had something like this in my time. And there was this one time that I went into a store and there were a small group of men looking at me and talking to each other in Spanish and I desperately wanted to know what they were saying. I can’t believe that I can actually understand what I can in Spanish. I’ve only had this for a few days, maybe a week at the most but I already have gotten pretty far with learning. The only thing I am worried about is forgetting Spanish. I would 10/10 recommend this to anyone trying to learn Spanish. This has made everything so much easier. Download it today guys, it’s totally worth every penny and if you try hard enough, you will learn Spanish in almost no time as long as you have the dedication.
Truly an excellent course, lots of opportunity for practice, excellent explanations of words and language rules, entertaining lessons, nicely formatted, and a motivating progress tracking feature . I have been impressed by the quick response to questions or concerns. A very comprehensive course. Very satisfied with my purchase.
