Rocket Languages review criteria
Rocket Languages is essential for anyone who is serious about learning a new language. The course is designed to help us start having real life conversations from the very first lesson. Instead of wasting time learning useless vocabulary, Rocket Languages teaches words and phrases that we are likely to use to everyday. So, if you want to immerse yourself in a new language, ditch those other language apps that are gimmicky and flash card based and instead invest in learning a new language with depth and understanding.

Hi Patricia, it's awesome to hear that you are enjoying the Rocket English course. All the best with your English language-learning journey!
I really like the mix of exercises for each lesson. I am hoping to get to more phrases soon rather than single words. I would like to be able to do some longer quizzes. that represent a few lessons at a time. But good so far.

Hi Christine, thank you for taking the time to provide us with some feedback. It's great to hear that you are enjoying the reinforcement activities, and we appreciate your comments about how these could be improved; I have passed these on to the product development team. If you are looking for longer quizzes you could check out the "Module Certification Tests" in the "Tools" section. These are short tests that reflect the content of each module. We wish you all the best with your language learning!
I'm greatly enjoying the experience, but i wish the tests were more comprehensive. the tests only consist of 5 questions, nothing difficult, nothing that requires a lot of memory, and they're not randomized (the position of the answer) so it's difficult not to remember the position of the answer vs the actual answer itself after the first time.

I used to be very impressed by rocketfrench, but there are a lot of things that I don't agree with anymore after almost two years of using it.
The good:
1. Listening to native speakers, repeating it, comparing it, having the scripted conversations - all that is good for pronunciation and I enjoy that.
2. there is a structure
The bad:
1. Updates that feel like beta-versions -> I did not pay to be a beta tester
2. The translation approach is outdated and will not lead to fluency.
3. The translation approach often does not make sense in the grammar chapters.
hints as to which version of multiple options to use are literal translations instead of contextual hints, that would lead to better understanding of the concepts underneath.
4. As in many other courses it is mostly very formal written french that you learn, sometimes some "real spoken french" is mixed in and that mix does not make much sense as it mixes different "registers" like formal, neutral, familiar french.
Most upsetting are the updates, that change the programm and not always for the better.
If it were always changes for the better, improving things and giving more options, I would be fine with that.
But sometimes things are being taken away and taking things away from customers is not a good idea.
That is not a problem for new customers, cause they are not missing anything.
But it is a problem for me as a user of almost two years and I don't have what I bought anymore.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts after nearly two years of using Rocket French, Armin. We truly value long-term users like yourself, and we appreciate your detailed feedback. We’d like to clarify that the recent updates you've mentioned are part of a user interface refresh, designed to improve the overall learning experience. While the visual design may look different, none of the content or core functionality of the activities you originally purchased has been removed or altered. The listening, pronunciation, and grammar lessons and structured progression you highlighted as beneficial remain fully intact!
After stopping for a while, I recently picked up this course again, and wow, have I learned a lot in such a short period of time. Even though my native language (Mandarin/Cantonese) is more similar to Japanese than a lot of languages, the language is still quite difficult to learn. However, it was easy to start again because everything about this website was very easy, efficient, and satisfying to use. Overall, this is a very underrated language learning tool. :)

Hi Jason, thank you for your review. It's great that you can see yourself making such clear progress in a short amount of time and finding that the Japanese course is intuitive and easy to follow. Happy learning!
It's great being able to be part of a conversation, I have learnt many phrases and words. Also speaking helps with pronunciation.

Hi Daiva, thank you for you review. It's awesome to hear that you find our Rocket French course supports your learning and that you would recommend it to other learners looking to expand their French knowledge. We wish you all the best with your French language learning!
It is a great app to use for quick and easy learning of a new language. I wish, however, that the price was a little better for students.

Hi Gray, thank you for leaving a review. It's awesome to hear that you're finding Rocket Italian to be a valuable tool for picking up the language. Although the price may be a barrier for students, it is worth noting that unlike many other subscription based services we offer full lifetime access to the course and all updates for one payment (or six instalments). This allows you to use the course indefinitely. All the best with your Italian language-learning journey!
