Rocket Languages Reviews

Rocket French is my 7th language purchased. I have been practicing five of them daily since June, which are Italian, Spanish, German, Portuguese and Hindi. I studied French in high school and in college, but that was quite a while ago. I considered taking an in-person class, and although I accepted I would have to start over again, ultimately decided it made more sense to buy Rocket French, because that would allow me to re-learn at my own pace, since I wasn't an absolute beginner. The courses are a great deal, and something I really look forward to at the end of the day. Having the Current Streak measurement is the single most important feature. The site is very interactive, and you can mix up what you do according to where your energy is that day. Tracking your progress is very easy. Finally, I like how the voice actors, or people who create each language program, seem to make the arrangement of the stories and lessons a bit different from the other languages. It makes the experience seem more real, even though it is all online. I am so grateful that Rocket Language exists!!!

Hi, Mauricio
It Usman your long time student.

I am really impressed by the method of teaching and training your clients .

I wish I could have the opportunity to benefit more free lessons as I am not financially buoyant.

I also pray that someday I could benefit from this method of training and learn many languages.

I wish to ask or request if I can get some free lessons on Swahili language ?

I will also like that someday I meet and know the rocket language group God willing.

Cannot say I am a motivated studier, especially in regards to new languages. I tried the competition's software and their immersion learning left me lost and confused. With Rocket Language I am starting out learning useful words and phrases and not stuck guessing how the word I am supposed to learn matches the picture as with the competition's software. The competitors version doesn't give me the English translation so I can solidify what I am learning. Hate that!

Reviewed many language programs prior to purchasing rocket language program. By far rocket is the most comprehensive program. Truly enjoying the rocket experience. Gracias Sam Allen

I have started the second lesson in RS 3, La Pinata, and have become frustrated and discouraged. The Conversation part is OK even though I am getting tired with Mauricio, but the Extra Vocabulary which has no context as in the Conversation introduces too many new phrases and vocabulary many of which are not even related to the Conversation (79 in this part!). Instructionally fewer new words/phrases with a reasonable amount of repetition would be much better. In RS parts 1 and 2 it seems that the New Vocabulary was generally shorter and more related to the Conversation. In short, I am very disappointed! I star for every rating is even too generous.

I have previously bought the French course which is excellent. I havent started my Korean lessons yet, but I have checked the structure of the course and it is excellent in comparison to other online courses as I have bought other courses. I am sure that I will learn Korean and Mandarin with you guys. Thank you!

I used Rocket Languages as a valid help in learning languages. It is incredible how fast you can learn with only 30 minutes a day. I am learning Mandarin, and, believe me, the course is great. Do not pay too much attention to who tells you learning Chinese is impossible, and online courses do not work. You should see the face of my Chinese colleagues and customers when they hear me speaking Mandarin. Now, they are the ones who think: "That's impossible!"

I have been off and on in my learning, but it's nice to know that Rocket French is always available! So, even though I haven't been able to take classes at the local college, I can still work on learning French. Also, I haven't checked out the news in awhile, but I just read about the iOS app for my iPhone! Yay!!

My product review should be understood in the context of a man in his 70s struggling to learn a new language. Before purchasing the premium version of Rocket French, I had used Duo, Babbel, and taken an introductory course at a local community college. Duo is easy enough, not demanding. It is a source of vocabulary, but one can put in many hours without confidence of using the words in speech. Babbel promised more interaction, but the speech sensitivity is seriously flawed. Otherwise the program is brisk and challenging. My college class showed that one's hearing in late retirement is unreliable, so keeping up with students less than ⅓ of my age was troubling.
Rocket French requires lots of oral practice, which the others lack. The tablet version of the program (I use a new iPad Pro with gobs of memory) has a problem similar to Babbel's, where the end of sentences are ignored. I can test this by just repeating the phrases that are missed and it translates those just fine. On my desktop iMac, the program works just fine.
Rocket French is more expensive than the other drills, and quite possibly less costly to create. I find that the method is engaging and leans more directly on the need to listen and speak. It has become my primary learning tool.
