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.
Absolutely wonderful product... I'm already a native speaker and was looking at some language courses to see how to better approach my other language learning endeavors - thanks to Rocket Languages, I don't have to worry about some of the more fundamental problems like pronunciation, vocabulary cards and learning retention - it's all here!
This is a great way to brush up on my school French that I learned many years ago. I am getting ready for a three week trip to France. Allons-y! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
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 use Rocket German on my iPod while I'm on the road driving or walking. I enjoy the voices of the familiar Rocket characters, Nik and Paul. I especially appreciate the quirky humor that's worked into each lesson. Thanks guys! You make learning fun!
I am having a lot of fun with Rocket German, and next, Rocket Spanish. This program is pretty great. I hope lots of people make use of it. Other programs I have tried did not compare.
So far I've had no problems with this program mi novia is mexican and this program gives me a chance to try and learn more spanish so I can communicate better with her family and be more educated in their culture, it's awesome!
I LOVE ROCKET FRENCH! I can almost speak french! this program is amazing! I can now tell people my name in French! and I love French! Your customer service is phenomenal! I will be sure to recommend this to ALL my friends!
Rocket French has help me get from 0 to where I am know! Thanks for this wonderful program! I have learned a ton since I started! I can introduce myself and have a small conversation in French now all thanks to you!
Like anything else, with practice, I see progress. Plus, I enjoy the conversational parts very much - they are not dry and boring like other programs I have used! Each lesson is categorized in a logical way, and as progress is made, previous terms are brought up again, which helps reinforce the vocabulary and usage.
