Rocket Languages Reviews

Hi, i am new using this app, so far i see this app so good. so interactive. but i find some bugs.
In french lesson, in every intro when 2 people do conversation, its always have a dialog words/script bellow. but today i try another language like germany. there isn't any dialog words/script below the conversation. I hope you adding it soon, because there many information which i didn't find in the notes there. regards C.Blake

The only thing I would like to add is a video of the people talking. Seeing how their mouths move and gestures would help a lot. Besides that- amazing course.

This approach was so much easier for me. It helped that the information is chunked, this means I can make time in my busy schedule as well as not feeling overwhelmed by the information being presented. Certainly the value for the money is excellent, especially compared to other language programs.

The fact that Keni and Sayaka, native Japanese, do the speaking, and then Sarah, an American, does the explaining, is quite helpful as it allows for you hear what it would sound when spoken by a native, but it is easier to understand when being explained. I am pretty happy with it so far, albeit I haven't really gotten that far in. I purchased all 3 lessons so I sure as hell hope its good all the way through! There seems to be around 200 lessons I have to get through, so it will certainly keep me occupied for a while. Here are my two complaints, I hope these are fixed in the future because I think it would truly be a nearly perfect language learning course after that:
#1. I think a lot of us have this issue. The microphone does not work well, even with headphones. It's often with shorter words, and I understand that's simply because shorter words are harder to pick up with speech recognition. Albeit, when the internet is slow, none of them work.
#2: This is the most important: what would be extremely helpful is text documents going into greater depth on grammar and structure. I know that we're sort of supposed to learn that long the way, but at the beginning you are left feeling sort of lost, and we will have to learn these rules at some point. Having a reference point to study up on would be infinitely helpful in terms of grammar. And this wouldn't even require much, I do not think--perhaps a PDF a few pages long telling the basic rules of Japanese.

Decent program, the voice recording and speak detection leaves a lot to be desired but at least it gets you to speak. My main issue is with the module tests at the end of the lessons, they crash and reset the entire test once you get to the end of a section. It is not worth doing.

Rocket Spanish is great! I started using Rocket Spanish a few months before travelling to Mexico and I was amazed at how much I learned. I have been to Mexico a number of times, but this vacation was so much more enjoyable because I was able to talk to locals in their own language. Once, I am done all the Rocket Spanish modules I will be purchasing the Korean course. I am no longer intimidated at the thought of learning a new language thanks to Rocket Languages.

I purchased Rocket Spanish about 2 weeks ago and although I lived in Latin America for a few years that was a while ago and the language has slipped away from me. I am starting right at the beginning and I am re-discovering a lot of the common ways to say things in Spanish, rather than the convoluted way I have fallen into. You can go at your own pace, the lessons are interesting, repeatable and keep me focused.

Although I'm just beginning, so far I like the format and the ability to repeat all or part of a lesson.

While I am still on Level 1 of Rocket Spanish, I am not only enjoying it but more importantly, I am actually learning to speak Spanish. I've been going over and over each sub-level until I am totally comfortable with everything - works for me. I am 67 and planning on moving to a Spanish speaking country in 2021, so naturally, I want to be a bit prepared.

Also, I am finding all of the optional exercises enormously helpful; I need to see the words and write them in order to lock them into my mind along with the meaning and pronunciation. I understand not everyone learns this way but I chose Rocket Spanish for this reason - along with the fact that they generously allowed me to try out the program first to see if I liked it. I love it!

I also plan on getting a few Spanish short story audiobooks and listening to Spanish-speaking podcasts once I have progressed more.

Highly recommend!

Great language course with a lot of features and mixed platform (PC / mobile) is great help for on the go.
I would however like to see the ability to unsubscribe from the trials, once you start a trial on any language it does not give me the option to unsubscribe from it in the app or on the site. This annoys me.
