Rocket Languages Reviews

I just purchased Rocket Spanish Travelogue, and even though I still consider myself in the high beginner stage, I find it incredibly helpful as it is very advanced, and it has given me a little 'trick' to help me study more with less frustration.

I start my Rocket study time spending 15 minutes or more working on the Travelogue series first, attacking the sentences bit by bit, listening and recording them several times, toggling the recording difficulty level until I am satisfied that I can say even ONE of the advanced sentences all the way through.

Then I go back to my regular studies in Rocket Spanish, at the level where I actually belong, and I feel like I am picking up the material much faster and with more ease. The advanced level of Travelogue is hard, but the story is fun and keeps me engaged, so I want to keep working at it. Then my regular level feels like a reward for getting through a few sentences.

This approach may not be for everyone, but I am jazzed at how much it is pushing me along, and I am so glad I purchased it.

Thank you Rocket Team for this awesome addition!

I love Rocket Language. I am learning russian, and find this method very helpful and at the same time very easy and fun to use.
I recommend this method to learn russian. I think then I will learn italian.

Rocket Japanese is a comprehensive language course that teaches you how to speak and write Japanese. The conversational section at the end of the lesson puts you in a real conversation situation. There is a real good section on survival kit that will be very practical on my future travel to Japan. The moderators do a great job keeping it light and don't get you stressed out over the learning process. Excellent language learning tool!

I'm currently using Rocket Languages to learn more Chinese. I live in China right now and what I really enjoy about these lessons is that they are immediately applicable. I studied for 30 minutes yesterday and immediately had new vocabulary to use with my Chinese friends. I'm feeling quite positive about this language course.

Having tried other Japanese learning solutions (Books with audio files and other software solutions), I can say for sure that Rocket Languages has a clear advantage: it is very effective and comprehensive while being user friendly and interactive.

I especially enjoy the Web version, voice recognition and the quality and structure of dialogues which don't make them boring.

Rocket French has been my desired language software.. I enjoy the learning style. The microphone, and writing capacity of this program. It is fun to practice and learn at your own pace. I would recommend this program. Love the flashcards and different opportunities for learning.

awesome app -- I am really learning stuff while driving around in the car. I have gone from virtually no spanish at all, to being able to at least greet my spanish speaking clients, offer them something to drink, and handle some basic conversational points.

Rocket Languages allows me to study at my own pace but also immerse myself in the culture and language. It also fits multiple learning styles and I love the new travelouges, I've already listened to the entire spanish one!

There are so many ways you can learn. Being a visual learner, I'm very thankful that the audio lessons don't just have the audios, but also the written out versions and translations. It makes learning a easy and fun.

I've been trying to learn French off and on for many years, but have always struggled with conversation. Having gone through the first few lessons in the trial version, I feel like my spoken French has improved more than it did in any of the classes I took. I would feel comfortable having a simple conversation with someone in real life after this short time. Seeing that kind of progress is motivating! The testing modules following each of the lessons do a really good job of helping you internalize the language that was taught in the lesson. The voice recognition software can sometimes be a bit slow or finicky, which may be partially due to my computer. I've had the best luck using the recently updated iPhone app. I would definitely recommend the French product. It is much less expensive than I would pay for classes that cover the same amount of material, and I believe I will actually be more proficient with Rocket French.

One note: I haven't had any contact with the company, so I cannot comment on the customer service, but don't want to give them a bad rating. One the I noticed was that the issues that I experienced initially with the iPhone app were resolved the next time I logged in. The company seems to be working hard to give customers a good product.
