Rocket Japanese has been wonderful and fun and excellent at keeping me engaged and coming back. With the emphasis on speaking and pronunciation and practical language, I feel like I'm learning the important parts first. Highly recommended and I'm excited to keep going on my journey towards being a polyglot with this program.

Hi Emelyn, it's great to hear that you are loving your leaning experience with Rocket German and Rocket French. We're sure you'll be speaking both languages competently in no time at all. Happy learning!
So far I've only done the first lesson. Everything was good except the hirigana 'de' in dekimashita was missing a dakuten (") so I read it as tekimashita. I don't know if that is intentional or not. This was in the Getting started - Extra: sort kana section.

I have tried to learn Spanish several times and from different instructors in the past and this is the first time I feel like I am really retaining the information I have learned.

I LOVE Rocket Spanish! I learned so much in one day, and it's not boring! I have a friend that can't really speak English and only speaks Spanish really, and I was able to have an entire conversation with her in Spanish! Thank you so much for letting me have a Spanish program that I enjoy!

Hi Susanne, it's great to hear that you've already learned so many words from just the first lesson of Rocket Korean and that you're enjoying the free trial. The good news is you actually have access to the free trial forever so you have plenty of time to sample all the lessons available in the trial and decide if you want to take your language learning to the next level by purchasing the course. Happy learning!
This was so much fun. Now we want to learn other languages too.

Hi Grace, thank you for your review. It's awesome to hear that you are having a fun language-learning experience with our Rocket German course. Happy learning!
Fun although it is pretty tough to understand the verbs, and all the conjugations, especially the way they describe it. All though with more exposure it becomes natural.

Hi Owen, thank you for your review, it's great to hear that you are finding our Rocket Spanish course is a fun way to learn the language. As for the difficulty you are experiencing with the verb conjugation explanations, I have passed your feedback on to our Development Team. Verb conjugation can be a particularly tricky part of learning Spanish, but we're confident that through using our reinforcement activities like "Flashcards" you'll nail them. Happy learning!
If you are looking to learn a language. I recommend giving rocket languages a try.
Pros:
Audio focused
forces you to listen to every new term/phrase
forces you to speak new terms/phrases and lets you hear back your voice back to compare
Also grades your speech on chrome automatically
lets you rate yourself and then you go back and review what you thought was okay or hard
I got it for ~$180 and get permanent access for about 230 hours of content
Cons:
No clear function for long term spaced repetition
Not enough spontaneity like writings essays or responding words organized in a new way(thats not already pre-planned)
You only cover everything in the ~20 minute audio lesson
No visual references if you care about that
You might lose your voice
Not gamified but I'm having fun
I think you need to use Anki, but its does everything better than doulingo or memrise when it comes to listening and speaking. While also providing a clear path compared to just venturing on yourself. Doulingo is better for grammar and conjugations, but you are at a much faster pace, its less repetitive, and you just can't tune out. Its not good for children or trying to get some else to learn. Ie. you need to participate and have a desire to learn.

Hi Brooke, thank you for your extensive feedback. It's great to hear that you recommend Rocket Languages and that our audio features are supporting your learning. Regarding spaced repetition, we actually already apply this learning strategy to our reinforcement activities, including "Flashcards," "Hear it! Say it!," etc. Additionally, when you purchase a course, you get lifetime access to it and can repeat the lessons as many times as you feel is necessary. We greatly appreciate your feedback and have passed your suggestions on to our Product Development team. We wish you all the best with your French language-learning journey!
