Rocket Languages Reviews

Living next to Quebec, it really is necessary to speak French, especially if you want a government job. I love this course and have already recommended it to family and friends (in Texas and Seattle). I feel much more confident speaking French now because of the lessons. I have been committing to doing just 15 minutes a day in the morning before I go to work. It's makes a big difference! I'm thinking of buying the course for my son for Christmas.

After trying to learn something from free online French courses, I realized that they generally don't really work. The vocabulary does not stick, and the grammar rules are often not explained well. Hence I figured I should spend some money to purchase a more professional course in order to get some actual results. I ended up with Rocket French, of which I now finishing two chapters (~20 lessons in total). And indeed, there is a world of difference:
1) The concept seems thought through; people say it is repetitive, and I tend to agree. However, the amount of repetition seems just right: I still remember all the words from the lessons I took one month ago. 2) Motivation remains high, even after weeks. The amount of new stuff introduced in each lesson is neither too little nor too much. As an exception, I want to mention lesson 2.9, in which I felt overwhelmed. 3) The native female speaker does a remarkable job, not only giving an example for good pronunciation, but routinely using voice inflection to emphasize the meaning of words, which is really helpful. 4) The provided material about French culture and the tips for effectively learning languages is also quite nice.

Well explained and good layout, I enjoy using it :)

I am still brand new using Rocket French, but very impressed so far. The mike does not work, but no biggie as I am fine without it. I found it a little annoying that right after I purchased Rocket French there was a sales pitch to buy the more advanced course, and the price changed when I did not respond to the first request. Sorry, but I always find this annoying. I love the course though! There are so many different options for learning, which is great! I just completed the first three lessons, and I am already hearing French words and sentences in my head when I am not working on the course - which is great. Thank you for Rocket French; later this year I also plan to purchase Rocket Spanish. J'adore apprendre!

I started learning español on a different app, but life stuff forced me to drop out. That, plus I felt completely unprepared for conversation after a year or so of lessons.

Now, with Rocket Spanish, I'm restarting on Square One. At first, the vocabulary seemed way too simple. But then, I realized that RS really gets me right into conversation mode, while also helping me to up my pronunciation game - the exact areas where my previous app fell short. So, for now, I plan to keep on moving step by step.

I supplement RS with Destinos videos/book and songs. A bit down the road, I will add a language transfer app to the mix. RS is doing a great job of providing a base to learn with, while filling in some old gaps.

This is a very well-rounded, very practical and quite engaging language course. I mix this with some Anki flash-cards, some listening to French through some other apps and I am pleased with my progress. I've tried several other language learning apps but Rocket Language is the best in my opinion.

Been using Rocket for nearly 2 months and very happy with this product which recognizes all types of skillsets and whose systems reinforce the learning (retention). I'm weaker in pronunciation so the microphone set-up helps a lot and the flexibility helps me keep going with it. Growing in knowledge and confidence and it suits me 11%. All good, no suggestions for improvement or negatives.

I am going to Florence for my 60th birthday in the fall. I bought Rocket so I could at least know a little Italian. It is hard and I am learning!

I am really enjoying my course, for me level one is very good revision, as one can forget the basics very easily.
Thank you Rocket Languages

After some frustration with the iOS app (iPad), I tried Rocket Italian in a laptop browser. Much better experience, but I find the iPad more convenient to use. The best part? Rocket continues to fix the little nits I complain about and my iPad e pertinence is getting better.
Rocket has been batting 1000 replying to complaints and questions. I am much more confident in an app supported by a company willing to respond.
