Great course!! I have learned so much more than I ever have in the past I love the way the lessons are set up I have seen so much growth and am so excited to see myself getting better.
easy to use and shows how much progress one is making
So far it’s been helpful with both memorization of vocab and pronunciation
Overall, I think that it a very good course for learning a language at your own pace. The instructors are easy to understand, and the lessons are laid out in a logical manner. I have only gotten as far as lesson 7, but I can tell that the material is extensive. The only complaint that I have is that many points of grammar are not explained at all, I realize that many students of language don't like getting bogged down in a lot of grammar, but the lack of any explanation at all can lead the student to make false assumptions. As I said, I have only just begun the course, so I can only give you a couple of examples. These are cases where I was forced to google my question concerning some very basic material. For instance, the student is never given an explanation about the word "lo" and it's usage. Because of how it was introduced in the lesson, I made the erroneous assumption that "lo" and "yo" both meant "I" and were interchangeable. The instructor said that "lo siento" meant "I am sorry", never explaining that "lo" meant "it", with the actual translation being "I regret IT". Early on in the course, we were told that "tu" means "your, as in "tu madre".
Response from Rocket Languages
Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Edward. Thank you very much for your feedback! Indeed, the Interactive Audio lessons don't spend a lot of time on grammar - they are designed to focus more on pronunciation and on getting you comfortable speaking out loud in particular situations. However, there are full grammar explanations available in the course, and you can find these in the Language & Culture lessons. These lessons cover everything from basic pronouns to verb forms to adjectives - and they teach you about direct object pronouns like **lo** as well. If you find that your learning approach is more grammar-based than audio-based, it might be a good idea to start with the Language & Culture lessons first and intersperse them with Interactive Audio lessons as you go along. If you'd like to look up a particular grammar topic, the lesson titles in the Language & Culture section should be a good guide, but you can also use the Search function at the top of the page. I hope that this is helpful!
I have enjoyed the Rocket learning platform! The way they have their lessons outlined, really helps me out. I like how I control what gets checked off as completed and learned so I know I can move forward. I also like how I can go back and review. Each day I go through 4 lessons and at the end of the week, I start a new one and complete one that I have been at for 3 weeks. For me repetition is the key! My wife and I plan on going back to visit family in Italy, in about a year, so I hope by then I will be able to unerstand and maybe respond a little bit more than the last time we were there.
Good amount of info. Like how it includes reading and writing.
I rely on seeing the words as well as hearing them. This is integrated throughout. I enjoy immediately learning to pronounce the words and spell the words correctly. It is fun and interactive throughout.
I'm steadily increasing my knowledge of French. I like being able to just jump into where I left off and do 10 to 20 minutes of study whenever I feel like it.
so far so good getting to grips wish the quiz was slightly more than 5
me encanta su mètodo, estoy aprendiendo a hablar con rocket.
