Rocket Languages Reviews

I have been using Rocket Spanish for over a year now off and on and am very satisfied with the product. I find the learning format to be useful and it works for me. I like listening to the lessons and follow the format used in the programs. There is a good amount of repetition without being a pain. I also like the access to the program for life.
I have had a few instances where I need customer support and the responses have been timely. The price was reasonable especially in a time where people want everything for nothing.
I am learning this primarily for overseas mission trips and would like to see one lesson on this theme. Another suggestion is that some of the lessons are extremely long and I would prefer to see them broken up into 2 lessons but it's not a big deal. Also, when the program is completed, I would like to see Rocket send out a certificate of completion.
In sum, I enjoy it and look forward to working through the whole program.

I just started using RocketJapanese last week, and so far I have been nothing but impressed. It's easy to use - no complicated pages within pages- and gives me exactly what I need for each lesson. I don't have to figure it out on my own. The audio lessons are interesting and easy to follow, and the teachers speak clearly so I can understand everything they're saying. And the practice tools are really easy to use! I feel like I've actually learned how to speak instead of random words that will form a sentence eventually. I've tried several learning methods prior to Rocket Languages and I'm definitely sticking to this one!

I bought this program a few years ago and sadly only used it here and there. Recently I have revisited Rocket Languages and I have to say its great! After taking formal language classes and continuing to self-study, this has been a great tool. I love all of the different "Write It", "Speak It", etc parts and especially the dialogue repetitions that increase in difficulty. I like reaching my daily goal. Really easy to use and helpful. I will certainly recommend it to others! Thanks Rocket Languages!

I'm just finishing the Rocket German Premium (Level 1) course and have found it to be tremendously helpful, and the most motivating foreign language course I've taken.

The most powerful thing about the Rocket German Interactive Audio Courses is that the course focuses on a conversation based narrative and sentences rather than focusing on memorizing words and grammar rules. After three years of High School German, when I went to Germany I found i was unable to construct or even understand sentences in real time and felt hopelessly stupid.

Maybe it is also a critical mass of all the previous study, I've been doing over the last eight months but in the past 26 days of Level 1 Premium sentence work, I seem to have learned enough about the structure of simple sentences that I can understand them and even put together all the conjugations and declensions, dative, and accusative case endings in real time which seems to be producing a positive feedback loop to create a lot of motivation. So I've been able to study at a fairly intensive rate. For example I've eared 82,17 points and nearly finished level 1 in the last 25 days.

Rocket Languages has a large collection of lessons to dig into that are effective at teaching the language, and it's easy to use. The one thing I dislike so far is that I was use to using Rosetta Stone, and I loved the visual aspect. It would be awesome if they could incorporate visuals into their lessons as well. But for now the main thing I really like is the added contextual explanations for certain phrases and the fact that they make you have a conversation with the words you learned. My girlfriend is happy i am at least learning her language.

This website is quite the learning site! It has very good other reviews, others including what I will say further on. But all of the experience I had over the first couple of days is shown here. I will probably not use this website for long periods of time because of the money included, but it is a good experience if you are new to the language, and had surprising features, such as the kanji and romaji, and previously I had gone on other websites which lacked those features.
I really am enjoying this website and it's features, which also include many known phrases and accurate translations, unlike other websites.
This website is easy to use, and you can include vocabulary in the my vocab section. I really enjoy using this, because it is an easy way to study japanese and any other language.
Although I do not want to use money, I will use this trial for as long as possible, cost-free.
Overall I would give this website 4/5 stars, the 1 star missing would be full free japanese training, although I'm certain after research that it might not exist.
But, even after that, the quality of this website is high, and the website is very intimidating to other ones. Rocket Languages is a very good starting website to learn languages on, and others should give it a try!

I have studying Mandarin Chinese for about four months. I started with another "highly rated" and very expensive program by a competitor. After two months I could only say hello and goodbye and a lot of phrases which I wasn't sure of their exact meaning and none of them related to any topics I wished to practice at the local Chinese restaurant (you have to look at pictures and decide what is being depicted. No English translations are anywhere in the program). Then I purchased Rocket Chinese and within two weeks, I could actually speak some meaningful Chinese...and know what I was saying...as do the Chinese that I practice with. Rocket Chinese tells you the words, pronounces them correctly for you, slows them down and then adds them to sentences, and speaks them in a dialog with another native Chinese speaker. It also shows you the written characters and the Pinyin language as you go. If you want to learn this difficult language, Rocket Chinese is my recommendation. It doesn't cost you an arm and a leg and you will be speaking basic Chinese almost immediately!!

I really happy about learning languages with Rocket Languages. I completely found it helpful.
I excitedly learn how to speak Japanese every morning. It makes me feel like having a friend to talk to.
I am going to keep on learning other languages with this website after being able to speak Japanese.

I like to listen to the audio lessons on my back to and from work a couple of times each. I find it really sticks only if I listen more than once. I like all the different kinds of tests available, and the language recognition software. This is much more challenging than a class you take in college, I think because of the language recognition. You can get by with terrible pronunciation in class but not with Rocket Record on even Medium mode. The only thing I found lacking was in learning hiragana, which I think can best be taught with mnemonics. I use two free apps for that and I learned hiragana very quickly with just the mnemonic flash cards and games in the apps. I also wish the website worked better in Firefox, my preferred browser. Otherwise, I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to others.

Rocket Languages has presented itself as useful so far. I would recommend the interactive course for someone who's above the beginner level to avoid struggles and discouragements at first. The speakers really push you forward into speaking, though. However, it gets tricky when you have to use an intermediary language to learn the target one. The possibility of downloading everything in the course has provided a deeper immersion in French once you can carry it around whenever you go. Plus, the audio quality is crystal clear providing a better understanding of how the pronunciation works separately and in context.
