Rocket Languages Reviews

Hi,
I've been using Rocket Italian for a week now and find I'm learning more Italian than in an evening class I took at college three years ago. I like that I can listen to my recorded voice and immediately compare it to the native speaker. This allows me to greatly improve my pronunciation. The pacing of the lessons is good, though I have to review often previous lessons so as not to forget difficult parts from those lessons. I'm trying to complete one lesson each day. I spend 30 minutes, then take a break before returning to finish the lesson. I practice talking aloud to myself during the day repeating the words and phrases I've learned. I will be travelling to Umbria for a month in a year. I hope to be able to have simple conversations with the local people. So far I am very pleased with Rocket Italian. The regular price is expensive, but I managed to buy it with a promo code for 60% off. At that price it is a good value for all that you get. Also the forum is an excellent way to get answers to your questions. I recommend Rocket Italian to anyone wishing to learn this language!

I think Rocket Languages gives you everything that you need to use as a foreign language learner. Input and output are important to understanding language and being able to produce it, respectively. The lessons are EXTENSIVE, which is great for a beginner who needs all the output and input possible. I'm starting to find the lessons too long; not the recordings, but the entire lessons. This may be because I have just started trying to focus more on my input (reading, listening, and doing both simultaneously), so there are parts of the lessons that make me spend more time than I'd like.

I already get output practice with a tutor two times a week (2 hrs) and with my sentence mines from Anki every day. That being said, Rocket Languages gives you a WHOLE LOT OF USEFUL sentences and phrases to remember (if you choose to remember them); they can be mined in a spaced repetition deck like Anki, Quizlet, or whatever.

All-in-all, Rocket Languages seems to give you the most comprehensive method for improving your language skills ESPECIALLY for the price! So the value is top-notch!

I'd just recommend supplementing your teachings here with your own sentence mines in a spaced repetition system like ANKI and weekly tutoring from a live, native speaker in your target language.

I've truly enjoyed the lessons and the tools provided in these courses. I already can tell my pronunciation and understanding of Spanish are improving! I make a point to listen to at least one lesson a day. The courses are structured to build on each one previous so you keep using the vocabulary you've already, which I think is very helpful. This was definitely an excellent purchase!

Good site. languages aren't my forte, but I'm enjoying learning on this site . Can highly recommend it and its worth taking a bit of time to explore it. so go ahead and have a look for yourself. You'll enjoy it

Rocket Italian is a great primary tool to use in learning Italian. The interactive audio lessons are engaging and they do a very good job of getting you to speak and write in Italian. The language and culture lessons offer a more in-depth opportunity to delve into the grammar and other technical issues of learning a language.

Sometimes you see something in one of the lessons that isn't explained as thoroughly as it could be (it is hard to cover EVERYTHING without being overwhelming). A place where Rocket Italian really shines is the forum. For most web sites, the Q&A forum is a black hole where questions go to disappear. For Rocket Italian, it is truly a valuable resource for filling in the blanks - led by terrific tutor Lucia!

As a point of comparison, a few years ago, I tried the "big name" in language learning. It was terribly disappointing. I spent 3x on "big name" compared to Rocket Italian, and it was not 1/10th as good. When I decided to re-commit to learning Italian, I did a lot of research and demo'd a few other offerings. Rocket Italian is by far the most comprehensive and fun to use. Highly recommend to anyone who has decided to get serious about learning a new language.

Rocket German covers all the bases. It provides cultural tips, tips on grammar and pronunciation. What I especially love about Rocket German is the ability to practice multiple aspects of language-learning: listening to (and imitating) native speakers, using flashcards to check memory of words/phrases, writing words/phrases from dictation by native speakers, interacting in dialogue. In short, it is a one-stop language-learning experience. After an introductory lesson, there are so many tools provided for reinforcing that material that it is virtually impossible to leave a lesson without having that material firmly embedded in memory.

I began learning Hindi when I lived in Mumbai several years ago, but found it challenging to find ways to practice once I moved back to the United States. Rocket Language provided the answer to that dilemma! I have found their program invaluable, and very easy to use! I recommend this program to anyone who is a beginner Hindi student, especially those who would like practice speaking with correct pronunciation and mastering Devanagari!

Pretty happy with this programme, and I've already recommended it to a few other people who were interested in learning some of the available languages. Having tried other programmes, including "the biggie" in the computer language-learning market, I must say that I like this better.
If I had more available time, I would really like to work on another language, but... !

Good for kids to learn other languages you should recommend it a five star it's an awesome app. :)

Rocket Languages was just what I needed to bring back the three years of high school French lessons that were hidden away in my memory. I've been out of high school for over 25 years, but I have been blessed with the opportunity to visit Paris this summer. After only a few lessons so much of it came back to me I was surprised at my skill level. After looking ahead at the lessons to come, I am sure I'll be ready for my trip to France. Thank you Rocket Languages!
