Rocket Languages Reviews

Fantastic concept with a very user friendly interface. The pronunciation feature is useful but may need a little finessing in order to provide more consistent feedback. The program and content overall is of excellent quality, and I would not hesitate in recommending Rocket to any aspiring language learner.

One of my favorite features of Rocket Italian is the fact that there are many opportunities to listen to and imitate native Italian speakers. Even though I've been learning Italian for approximately 1.5 years (I've completed all 5 of the Pimsleur Italian courses (the 5th was just released in May 2015)), I know that one can never underestimate opportunities to listen to the target language as it should be spoken. I also appreciate that Rocket provides ample opportunities to speak the language, and even provides feedback of pronunciation with the Rocket Record feature. Another feature that I really like about Rocket is the attention it gives to explaining grammatical and cultural aspects of the language. I've checked out a number of textbooks (and have even taken a formal course in Italian (with textbooks I absolutely detested)), and am impressed with how clearly and simply Rocket explains complex grammatical concepts.The areas of Rocket that I believe are weakest are opportunities for reading and writing the language. There are opportunities to read the conversation transcripts and the vocabulary exercises, but these are limited to short samples.

I go to the Honduras on Mission trips twice a year and I am determined to not have to use a translator in June. Rocket Spanish has been the best program for me in that I am very busy and need to get as much in as I can especially on week ends. This is a good deal!

Rocket French is just what I've been looking for. It is the best course by a mile.
The course is structured and well explained. The people a Rocket Languages know what they're doing! The price might seem too much, but its well worth the investment.

Just started to check out the Arabic Course. I am a professional translator and teacher who just attended an 50 hours Egyptian Course at my school and I must admit, this course is a great support to any regular classroom course since it gives you a chance to practice live language at home, highly recommended!

It's a very well thought out progression through the language. And starts in immediately with practically applicable language with the rules of grammar sprinkled in here and there. Enough so that you actually learn the mechanics of the language but not so much per lesson that it becomes overwhelming or dull. All in all it's a very very good course and I'm very happy with it.

I bought Rocket Spanish a long while ago and it is truly great. I have been so busy and not too diligent about my lessons so what I REALLY like and appreciate is that I keep getting mails and lessons to encourage me which keeps me from giving up completely. The whole concept is wonderful and you truly learn words from the very first lesson. I have and will always highly recommend Rocket Languages. Thank you for not giving up on me.

Rocket Languages uses a variety of approaches, including listening, speaking, reading and writing - and above all, REPETITION, which really helps me learn. I also like the combination of "learn by hearing" and specific grammar instruction. The only thing that would make it better is if it had videos.

i have been self-taught French for over a year by buying books, watching lessons in the internet, watching french movies. I still found it hard to catch on with French, as i dont have a structured programe for it. i even registered for 2 courses at IDEACAF to receive lessons from French teachers. My pronunciation is still not good as i expected, something is still missing. Then I found Rocket Languages once i was surfing on the internet. I got the trial lessons, and quickly found it effective. By far, im happy with it. Thank you for this wonderful approach. After French, im planning to learn Germany, Spanish, Chinese and as many languages as i can via Rocketlanguage too.

So far I think the program is great. I used rosetta stone for Spanish and already with Rocket I am learning French faster than I did Spanish with Rosetta stone. I would recommend this program to anyone!
