Rocket Languages Reviews

I am having a wonderful time doing this course. The only hesitation I have - hence not all five star ratings - is that we seem to be going very slowly. But hey, we have to crawl before we walk. No seriously, I started this course as a faux debutant and I am finding the early stages a little tiresome. Perhaps you could think of levels of starting this course other than at the very beginning for people like me. Otherwise, I am enjoying this. yes, I know I have apparently contradicted myself somewhat - enjoying but...- but still I would like to be further ahead .

I really like the approach you guys are using. You are teaching me useful phrases right from the get-go, but have blended grammar and the natural progression of the language into it so that it is not simply rote memorization. I have found this method to be exponentially better than Rosetta Stone and I just bought my parents Rocket Spanish!

I have spent a lot on group courses and face to face private lessons, but there is nothing like having a web based audio course to keep you moving forward and for refreshing what you already know. I've used Rocket German to help maintain my German skills and I expect Rocket French will do the same.

I like being able to learn German at my own pace and at an affordable price!. There is no more pressure than the one you put on yourself. I am learning it, because I want to learn it, not because I am forced to. All is well described and you can review something that was not clear the next day which sometimes is a big plus for me. ( since I work late sometimes )

I like the way that you go over the same thing in different ways which helps to fix the concept in your mind. I have studied Italian and spent some time there over the years and am using Rocket Italian as a refresher.

best I've ever used. I'm just starting and the way Rocket teaches i can really hear my Spanish getting better after ever level. plus the fact that i'm pretty busy lets me come back again and again for review

I started with Rocket French in 2006, but didn't complete it. I returned now after 8 years, and was allowed to continue without any hassles. For me, that is outstanding service! The course is easy and fun to follow.

I like the lessons so far, but I have a couple nits to pick. 1) The recording volume is very low even when set to max. I have to get very close to my mic, and then I get big spikes. 2) When Mauricio pronounces phrases, he emphasizes one syllable the first time and a different syllable the next time. How am I supposed to know which way is right?

I love Rocket Languages!!!! keep up the good work :)

The only complaint that i have is that there are no tests or quizzes and that kind of makes me sad because i want to know where i am at at an academic level and i don't know how to do that with out a test or a quiz

Well, I was very pleasantly surprised! I had thought Rosetta would be my choice, but I didn't care for it - nor did many others in their reviews. I finally ended up with Rocket, and I'm extremely pleased with the trial lessons so far.
