I definitely loved it even I just try it for a while. However, the price is so HIGH and EXPENSIVE for a student like me.
So far RL is okay. The audios are entertaining, but a tad slow and I wished that they were a bit less English-heavy as it really breaks my French-thinking mindset. Any technical issues (and there are quite a few given the nature of the voice recognition software) that are reported fall onto deaf ears. Overall, it's an okay program, but needs heavy supplementation from grammar and vocab books (as all learners should have anyway).
I think RS is trying to do too much. Needs to be shorter. If you follow the lesson plans now, it takes 2-3 hours to fully complete a lesson. That’s too much for the average person. You might consider having stages of lessons - a shorter test section then another layer for those who have more time. Flash cards should note be 68. Maybe 20 of the most important, for example.
Love the narrative lessons, they are perfect.
I have tried rosetta stone live mocha and berlitz. It is simple easy cost effective method of learning spanish. i have tried other software. This is great learning tool. i have tried arabic language course before. that was also good. I can learn on my pace flex schedule.
Im still looking for the vocabulary lists ?
It doesnt help to teach someone how to say and memorize 'hello how are you' in Korean,
if they cannot find out which one is how, or you .......
Not happy with the lack of definitions......
I think more emphasize should be placed in Hangul! Its the foundation of the language and everything is so jumbled. Consonant, vowels should be separated and thought differently. I learned by watch children videos of sing alongs in Hangul. Like they make it so simple there. Its ok I guess... It needs more material to be concise. But good program
Learning languages is really nice here; it sticks. Reciting the vocabulary and having it "graded" is really helpful for pronunciation. The "Play It!" portion is extremely helpful when it comes to being able to speak the language on cue. And when you're learning Russian, like me, or a language with a different writing system, "Write It!" can be frustrating and challenging yet extremely beneficial.

Hi Ali, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's awesome to hear that you are benefiting from the interactive elements, such as "Play It!," woven into our Rocket Russian course. All the best with your Russian language learning!
I just went through the introduction, the only problem I had would be there's no spelling in the conversation. If I would be listening to this program without pre-study the contents, it's hard to remember the sentence afterwards.
Very poor experience regarding the numerous simple spelling mistakes and inconsistent and sometimes just plain wrong translations. I expected much more from a paid for language learning tool.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thanks so much for your review. When writing translations, we try to find a balance between being as literal as possible, while also conveying the meaning of a sentence. If there are any phrases you think we could translate more literally, please don't hesitate to send them through to our customer support team. Regarding spelling errors, we are in the process of going through all of the Rocket French lessons at the moment, and so you should soon find that this is no longer an issue. Our apologies for the frustration caused!
I don't like that the woman speaks Spanish with an american accent.
I would like to learn correct pronunciation from natives, not american speaking with accent
