Rocket Languages Reviews

My product review should be understood in the context of a man in his 70s struggling to learn a new language. Before purchasing the premium version of Rocket French, I had used Duo, Babbel, and taken an introductory course at a local community college. Duo is easy enough, not demanding. It is a source of vocabulary, but one can put in many hours without confidence of using the words in speech. Babbel promised more interaction, but the speech sensitivity is seriously flawed. Otherwise the program is brisk and challenging. My college class showed that one's hearing in late retirement is unreliable, so keeping up with students less than ⅓ of my age was troubling.
Rocket French requires lots of oral practice, which the others lack. The tablet version of the program (I use a new iPad Pro with gobs of memory) has a problem similar to Babbel's, where the end of sentences are ignored. I can test this by just repeating the phrases that are missed and it translates those just fine. On my desktop iMac, the program works just fine.
Rocket French is more expensive than the other drills, and quite possibly less costly to create. I find that the method is engaging and leans more directly on the need to listen and speak. It has become my primary learning tool.

I like very much the Rocket English. I thing that my english is better. The course has a good stuctrure and we have many possibility to learn. "I will walk with faith, that faith never fails" (Gilberto Gil, Brazilian singer and composer).

Great price and lots and lots of great tools to improve your language skills and become comfortable with your Italian.
I was extremely please by how all of the review show higher rating compared to other programs (i.e: Rosetta Stone) and how the price is much lower. The content is great, by providing you with means to speak, listen, and practice your italian, as well as learn about the culture and costumes of the country and the people.
I also enjoy knowing that I have lifetime access to the software and all that it comes with, which allows me to go back to it whenever I please.

Rocket Languages is a robust learning tool which is providing me with a good grounding in Italian. The course provides clear, in-depth lessons, and while it doesn't shy away from grammar and repetition (you can't learn a language without them!), it makes learning fun. I compared it to several on-line study options before buying; Rocket definitely offers much better value for the money. If you really want to learn a language, and not just be able to parrot a few phrases, this is the program.

We moved to France from UK 4 months ago, I've got to say Rocket French has helped me so far. The exercises are fun to do, I particularly like the role play exercises. All in all a good buy and so far I've enjoyed in what to me is a difficult language to learn...

Great product. Very well structured, organized and involving. Voice recognition fails though and only somewhat useful and I had a feeling the app becomes dysfunctional from time to time. And also if the course would be adaptive - it would be a real hit.

So far I find the exercises very interesting and it helps me reinforce the French phrases that I am learning. Being able to record myself practicing the phrases are very good. I get to hear and compare it with what they are saying. The practical application of the phrases and the injection of introducing the culture in France was really good to. I find learning more digestible and less stressful.

Muchas Gracias. Soy aprendiendo espanol para rocket!
I love that rocket makes learning fun and it’s easy to get caught up in the lessons so that you hardly know how much time you have put in studying. Rocket makes learning and studying a language something enjoyable and not a chore to be done.

My only complaint is that the Spanish keyboard is difficult to use and would be best if it were just built directly into the screen instead of me having to pull it out for each individual exercise. Other than that, I love this system. It is so user friendly, personalized, and easy to navigate. It is thorough in the way it teaches the material and gives the user a lot of freedom to make choices along the way.

love it. i can learn this all day long. but its not free. thank you for free trial.
