Rocket Languages Reviews

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.

Best one I have used yet and that includes that big expensive one ( you know the one I am talking about). Rocket's presentation style is awesome. The style is friendly and fun. It always sounds like some friends are trying to teach me French not some recording. Keep up the good work. Claire is beautiful !

Rocket Spanish teaches not only the vernacular that natives actually speak, but also the pronunciation that distinguishes the serious student of the language from "las turistas" who all sound as if they have marbles in their mouth when they ask for their cocktails. Yes, Rocket lets you hear the way a native-speaker sounds right next to your own pronunciation. It is much easier this way to fine tune your speech.

I use the library edition of Rocket Languages. I really appreciate that it is made available to library members like myself. I definitely plan on trying out the other available languages. I also really like the tips on learning a language. I found them really helpful getting the those discouraging moments of realizing how much work you have ahead of you. Thanks Rocket Languages!

I have generally enjoyed the lessons and have moved through easily. Some of the German speakers speak too quickly, however, and I cannot follow them. This true mostly for the lessons are sent to me or the extra lessons, not the dashboard.

I loved this program. I am an advanced French student. I have various (DELF) diplomas in French. I wanted a course that would help me with my pronunciation of French and this was the ideal program. The presenter's were engaging and fun to listen to. They read the dialogue at full speed at first then slowly. I liked that they read it slowly so that you could follow along and mimic their pronunciation.

I found the cost a bit expensive, but it was much cheaper in comparison with other programs. I would like if they had other programs besides the 3 levels in French, so that I could continue using the course.

It is an interesting way to learn a languge. Very good to listen to people who speak. It is very realistic and natual. The second time you listen it is easy to remember the words again. I hope I will improve my spanish soon. The use of ipad will do it easy to practice every day, at home, on the bus and when I am walking.
