Rocket Languages Reviews

Blows Duolingo out of the water. I purchased this program for my teens before we make a trip to Latin America. We're enjoying it!

I really enjoy just plunging right into conversational Arabic and leaving the grammar till later. It seems more like the way children learn their own language. I like the way the speakers are energetic and optimistic!
I strongly agree with another reviewer who asked that there be a bar on the side of the page that refers to previous vocabulary - so we don't have to scroll up-up-up to find the words we're looking for. You mentioned that you will be adding this feature soon, but his question was about Rocket Spanish. Will my course (Rocket Arabic) be getting this feature also?
I have one more request. Is there some way to help us learn how to say the handful of "confused for each other" sets of letters in the Arabic alphabet? Like a video or a medical-type cartoon showing the position of the tongue etc when pronouncing these letters? The letters whose sounds don't appear in English are very frustrating. Just listening to them over and over is not helping me say them correctly. Kind of discouraging!
Overall I'm really enjoying the course though. Definitely the best approach to language I've ever experienced!

When I realized not every module had a audio portion I was kinda disappointed. I primarily wanted this as a audio course, and although there are many audio modules it's not every lesson. I am only 3 days in but it seems like a decent course though. Each module seems to throw vocab at you, but also some example sentences so it's nice.

I ❤️ it so much and am so appreciative of this course. I will say the audio Lessons sometimes freezes. other than that a+

Still learning about how to use the app. It seems to work well on my Android phone, and voice recognition does not work on my iPad. I wish I could explore more alternate words and phrases that seem commonly used...according toSpanish speakers I attempt to engage.

If you are looking to learn to speak a language, especially without living in the country, this software makes it easy. Rather than memorizing words all day and getting bored, this software keeps you interested and gets you speaking quickly!

I'm enjoying this course so far. It turns out that I am rediscovering my schoolboy French very easily. New words take so much longer but I'll keep at it.
One thing to improve if possible. The special character screen keyboard does not have nearly enough French characters in it. Please uprate (or show me what I'm missing).
Thanks.

Russian is a difficult language to learn because it has the Cyrillic alphabet and it quite a distance removed from my native English. I find that I have to repeat each lesson multiple times before I am fluent in the pronunciation and can understand the phrases, so to vary the lessons I go back and review earlier modules as the second part of the lesson and work on the vocab side of things. It would help if the vocab were more organised as the countries and peoples survival guide is done.

I mainly use the phone app but have found that the online version has some extra features such as a) Favourites (which helps me list hard vocab or phrases that need extra work) and a hugely useful feature b) which is typing in Russian on a virtual Cyrillic keyboard. I have just discoveed this and will go back over lessons Intro, One and Two to learn how to write the phrases in Russian.

It might have helped if the introduction had mentioned these features a bit more as I find them very useful and a real aid to learning written Russian.

I like the way the lessons are made. There is a lot to learn. Thanks.

This is a well-structured course that emphasizes four skills. I am multilingual and have taught languages. I find this online course to be a "competent teacher."
