Rocket Languages Reviews

This is a great program for me. With my mp3 i can down load and learn the lesson wherever i want. I have try many other ways to learn French but this is the effective program for me. Thank you Rocket French.

I find the Rocket course an excellent course covering the full range of skills needed to communicate in another language.
It also has the facility to practice speaking the language. I would recommend it to anyone who needs to learn or improve communication in Portuguese

This is a great program. I've been using Rocket German for 16 days. So far, I've learned how to introduce myself, ask for help, tell time, count in german up to...one million, make some simple comparative statements, order a meal, and ask for directions/buy transportation tickets. Now, bear in mind, that I am spending at least 2 hours daily learning.. (which may be more than most can do).....but it's only been two weeks of time. If you want to learn a second (or third) language, then I think that this is the way to do it. As a point of comparison, I've spent years learning French in a traditional classroom environment..now... I am at an advanced level, but it took YEARS and thousands of dollars in tuition and a long stay in France to achieve this. I've also spent 6 months learning Russian in a classroom setting (again spending already hundreds of dollars) and I can say MORE in German ..having the Rocket course as my only exposure. In my opinion, with Rocket you avoid unmotivated teachers, boring textbooks and often the long span of time in between class sessions, because you can proceed daily. The tests are excellent and really reinforce all of the concepts and vocabulary.

So far my experience with Rocket has been very positive. Being able to remember even half of what I learned a couple days ago shocked me. Most languages I have attempted to learn result in me forgetting over 90% of the vocabulary I have learned after a short period of time. This method of learning seems to make me naturally think and respond in the native language so that I can form connections and remember core phrases in the long term.

The feature that allows one to record and then listening to yourself as compared to the instructor has been a great help to me in learning the pronunciation. I enjoy using the Beginner's Spanish PDF book along with each lesson to look up word meanings and deeper usage help as I go through a lesson for the first time. I have found that the self-test ordering is the best sequence for my learning. I found that it is much easier to hear the phrase in Spanish and then say what it means than it is to read the English and then say it in Spanish (the "Know it" test). It forces me to learn to think in the language and gives me a strong memorization exercise to get the vocabulary down much more solidly. This is my second purchase from Rocket languages, having previously taken Rocket Italian. We were taking a vacation to Southern Italy at the time and would be driving in areas where English was not commonly spoken. I did not have much time to get up to speed before leaving but managed to get though about half of the beginner's course. It was enough to get us out of several jams we got into when getting lost and asking for directions, as well as recovering from taking a bus to the wrong place and trying to recover from that.

An excellent system where each lesson builds on past lessons. Having one voice (Mauricio) always trigger you to repeat what he says works very well, at least for me. The material covered is very useful, every day language. The course helped me very much in preparing for a 500 mile walk across Spain.

Online accress is convienient.
Nice that in addition to beginning spanish, there is also intermediate and advance (not like other programs).
Interactive dialogs are a great help because you can vary the speed!

P.S. : if you are going to do maintenance, do it on Saturday or on Sunday, not during the weekdays

This is incredible. I've looked for language software and this far out weighs the rest. The price is unbeatable as far as language learning goes. I certainly would recommend it to friends. Simple and easy to follow.

I started a couple of years ago, but had a break. I have found it easier this time round and the word pronunciation is easier. I have concentated on speaking and that I need to go back and make sure that I can say the words well as the combined words add another level of difficulty if you are not sure of the easier ones.
I can come back and get the spelling of the Pinyin after I can speak with sense. I can also attempt the simplified Chinese characters with more meaning once there is some language base.
