Rocket Languages Reviews

Rocket French is the only course I have tried that succeeds in getting you talking. Many courses can teach you the basics as you sit in a class and take your turn to say something, or do online exercises but you still get tongue tied the second you try to use it in real life. Rocket French can get you past that.

I have 17 years in London with a French wife learning french on and off, and now live in France so need to use it. Learning a language in my opinion requires three things in general order (but even better if done in parallel) 1. A strong base of grammar and vocabulary to have something to work with 2. Speaking the language out loud to get into the habit of using it correctly without reflection 3. Moving to the country and chucking yourself in the deep end to expand and refine. Most courses can do 1, only you can do 3, but in my opinion after many years of french study rocket french is the only one that does 2 with depth and substance. Speaking correctly is also important, as although I have been speaking rough french for years that gets me by in family gatherings, only in doing the saying then writing that you really start nailing the articles and gender etc to really move forward.

Rocket Languages is engaging because of it's unique approach. It makes learning a language downright fun. Play it is my favorite feature of the course. The amount of content means you'll be busy for AWHILE, which indeed is a good thing. I have no regrets on this purchase. This is what Rosetta Stone and Instant Immersion should have been. Enough is said.

I am amazed at how quickly I am picking up this language and how much fun I am having doing it. I am also thankful that the other languages I want to learn are available as well! I also love the Customer Service department as they answered my questions quickly and thoroughly!
Thank you so much for such a great program!

I read several language course reviews before choosing the Rocket program to learn to speak German. I made the right choice! I have used the Paul Noble cd's in the past and loved them as an intro to German, but they were not enough. I also tried the Pimsleur method for a couple of lessons, but I really did not like it. Too repetitive and boring. But this Rocket program is a great blend of the conversational explanations I liked about the Paul Noble cds, the ability to listen in my car to the audio conversations, and that added element of using my laptop to learn the grammar and writing that I really need to round out my skills. I love to be able to hear the sounds, practice speaking, and then see the correct spelling of the words. Seeing the spelling really helps me correct my pronunciation and start seeing patterns in the language. I consider myself a visual learner, so seeing the written word is within my comfort zone of learning style. However, I really need to be able to train my ear and practice all the new sounds that come with a new language. This program offers a great mix of teaching and evaluation methods.

Sehr Gut! it's a really good course to do, even if no one you know speaks German, you can hone your skills with the mock conversations provided in the course. Excellent to use, and it keeps you motivated. Keep practicing, and you'll understand and speak German at your own pace. Lots of fun as well.

Easy to use and very 'friendly' in their approach. Well thought out and comprehensive coverage of the subject - what more could one ask for?

This is by a mile the best language learning tool I have ever used. The emphasis on pronunciation and getting to learn the language and how to make the sounds from a French native really gives me confidence in my accent.

I absolutely adore Rocket Languages! I can't believe how much I'm learning and how good I feel about it. I've tried many language learning programs before (including the much-touted Rosseta Stone) and there is definitely no comparison. The key to Rocket Languages' superiority are the audio lessons with the hosts. They "get" how adults learn and take the time to stop and tell you the grammar. The humor is appreciated as well. I really feel like I have a shot at improving my Italian in time for my trip next April. I can also hardly wait to finish the Italian course so I can then purchase the French course. I highly recommend Rocket Languages.

After trying to find a "base" program to center myself around learning Spanish, I've found it with Rocket Languages. This program contains useful conversations that you WILL use when traveling or living in a Spanish speaking country. Not only that, but it furthers your education by many forms of reinforcement. After listening to the lessons, it is very wise to keep going with the supplementary features that are offered. I find myself spending an additional 30 minutes on just the review.

I'll be honest, Rocket Language will not do the work for you, but it will give you a base to center your learning. You get what you put into this; you really do. If you have the desire, and the iron is hot, by all means, start with RL and engage as much as possible.

Aside from this positive review, the purchase is worth it. The material is excellent and gives you the confidence to improve your Spanish even further to a very possible fluent proficiency. I recommend RL al the way to anyone trying to further their Spanish speaking abilities or simply getting started.

I have just started using Rocket French again, after using it briefly before travelling overseas last year. Using it in conjunction with in person lessons to boost my learning as I want to challenge myself, and I'm finding it quite useful so far. The fact that I can use it on my computer, or on my phone while in the car on bluetooth is great, and I love that it updates my progress on both.

The program seems to have trouble recognising when I say "Vous" - But speech recognition is a great feature otherwise. There was an error with the 1.2 quiz, not logging my 5/5 result on the computer, but it did work on the iPhone app.

All in all and good product so far. Thank you.
