Rocket Languages Reviews

I've tried out many apps to learn Japanese, and no matter how many I tried, I always come back to Rocket Languages!

Unlike many other apps, once you get Rocket Japanese your membership is lifelong, no need to update your subscription. That's a really worthwhile investment. Ah, and of course their learning method and organization of studies is great (I can save pdf of ALL lessons to repeat even offline).

This is a revision to an earlier review I posted. Although I wasn't real impressed originally, I stayed with it because, well, I paid for it. Since then I have become more familiar with the RF system and have been able to get more out of it. The single most important value to me is the immediate playback of one's own voice which allows comparison with the native speaker and improvement of pronunciation. I still get frustrated when the voice recognition software stubbornly refuses to validate sometimes, even though my recording sounds just like the example, but I've learned to ignore it and move on. As one progresses, there is a lot to learn here and I'd rate
RF among the top three available language learning systems.

Very awesome! Im only 10 and i'm studying korean very easily with this website. I compared multiple courses for learning korean.Rocket was the only one that combined pronunciation, conversation, reading, writing and grammar in one solution.

After looking (and trying) the other well known online learning resource, I decided to try Rocket Spanish. It was an excellent decision. Each lesson is not too long, and that makes it easy to maintain a good pace. I like that they make sure to have me practice the writing and reading parts of the language, not just the conversational aspect. I love the lifetime access, which is something that is not offered by the other online learning resource. All in all, I'm very happy so far with my decision.

Wow! with some knowledge I gained while studying as an Etudiant/Student at Alliance France in Kampala, I can confidently confirm and be proud that after graduating in Bachelor of Computer Science and IT sometime in March, 2019, I will be a little far in French language speaking!
In addition to that, being a life member of Rocket French society, I will endeavor to ensure that French is my second best spoken language to English. Merci a tous.

Ne t’inquiète pas!

A bientôt!

Its a fun way to learn and you learn a lot of vocabulary very quickly. Reviewing previous lessons as you go is a great way of ensuring that everything sticks in memory as much as possible, especially if there is a longer period of time between the lessons. Some of the sentences are rather on the long side to take in and some words it would be nice to see spelt out as you can't always pick it up straight away but overall a very good course.

I find that sometimes the time allowed for "repeat after Clair" is insufficient and I find myself talking over Paul's next statement. Also, it was not clear when I started what the survival kit lessons where all about and when I should do them. As I go along all this is becoming clearer.

I love this program. I am learning so much, although the premium program is a little expensive. But, I'm going to Italy in a few months and I feel very confident and I'm doing very well. I have a couple suggestions: 1) I would like an area or a quick "free" App to write a few of my own sentences or words to practice (instead of bringing a tablet or paper to do this), and this App will write it out in Italian (or visa versa in English); and 2) Do you have an App where I can open it up without Wifi? To open while I'm in Airplane Mode? I have a competitors App on my phone to do this but it is not as good as Rocket Languages). I don't need or expect the whole premium program outside of WiFi, just an a quick App where I can write or search a word in case I need to refresh on the Airplane, or if I forget a word, or I need to read something, etc. outside of the Wifi in Italy.

Very nice interface with many opportunities to record yourself and play back to compare with the native speaker. I've enjoyed learning from the conversations, and also being able to practice participating in the conversations (playing the role of one person, then the other). The app for iPhone and iPad works well overall but has a few glitches with the voice recording function -- sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The web browser interface for Google Chrome works perfectly. I am looking forward to continuing on in my lessons as I've only started module 2.

This review pertains to Rocket Spanish and the Android APP. The short version is I am very happy with the format and content. My rate of learning has increased significantly since I started using Rocket Spanish. I will discuss the pros below and the several cons that keep this from being a 5 star rating.
After using Doulingo daily for 2 years (almost no missed days!) I am able to read some Spanish and have a fairly good vocabulary but cannot understand spoken spanish or speak Spanish well at all. I knew I needed something more to take it to the next level. After much research I decided on Rocket Spanish.
The pros:
Right away I am speaking Spanish sentences.
I can “hear” Spanish better. This has been the most fun for me because I feel I can understand TV, radio, and regular people (to some extent) so much better.
I love the lesson format. Hear it, say it, write it, know it (memory recall), and then the flash cards. I love the flash cards. The test portion is weak. Not going say it is a con but its 5 easy questions that don’t change if you redo the test.
I get as much help as I want on correctly annunciating the words. This is huge. I love that I can spend as much time as I want on correctly saying the words.
