Rocket Languages Reviews

For the most part, I do like the course. It is an easy and enjoyable way to learn. I am taking the Italian course.

My only MINOR COMPLAINT SO FAR is the specificity of some of the lessons. In Module 3 of the Premium Basic Course, the first 2 lessons are waaaay too narrowly focused. The first concerns a trip to Mount Vesuvius with conversation about walking around the volcano's crater and how cold it will be on the summit(!) - a dialogue I really can't imagine most ordinary travelers having much need for, and the second deals with a certain Italian liquor called Limoncello. I skipped the bulk of the conversation portion of those lessons, except for a phrase or two. The extra vocabulary sections also had some benefit.

Now I understand that sprinkling a little culture, geography, and traditional customs is an attempt to broaden the course's appeal, but I'd personally find the lessons much more useful if they conveyed more common everyday requests and conversations. For example: asking where to buy a newspaper, rent/park a car, ordering a beer/glass of wine/soda and leaving a tip, chatting about the weather or someone's family, or complimenting/discussing another's clothes, jewelry, home, etc.

Perhaps that's just me, though. However, up until those 2 lessons, I felt what I was learning had broader adaptability and usefulness.

This is awesome...I mean this is the ideal site for learning Japanese..Its easy,cool and sufficient. People are gonna love this when they use it. I can hardly find any words to express my pacification. For now...arigato and sayonara.

Excellent interactive software. I wish this could have been available to me when studying languages previously. The interface makes it fun to learn and gives you motivation to push on for longer each day. I have recommended to a few friends now.

I love Rocket Japanese!

I've been studying Japanese for a few years now and the biggest problem I always had was that I had to keep switching between several different books, audio CDs, and computer courses in order to get a FULL education.

It was incredibly frustrating when I would finish a book or course and not feel like I had learned very much that I could actually use. Then I found Rocket Japanese - Thank God!!!

My two favorite things are that it covers ALL aspects of Japanese (speaking, listening, reading, writing, and culture) and also that there is an enormous amount of material. I invested in all three levels and it was the best decision I've ever made when it comes to learning Japanese.

Bottom line is this: if you are truly serious about learning Japanese then you NEED Rocket Japanese. I highly recommend it to everyone who asks.

I really do enjoy this course, I love the idea of being able to do it at my own pace. A++++++
I am just about to do my exercise but thought I would stop by and do a review first to show my appreciation and to assist others in making a decision to choose Rocket Languages.

This is the third Arabic program I've tried. I was told to learn standard Arabic before the Egyptian dialect, but it is a very hard language and my trip is coming up tooooo quickly. I'm so glad I changed. So many of the words are pronounced differently, yet sentence structure, etc is the same. My Arabic dictionary still comes in handy, my spelling is improving, (slowly), and my Egyptian friends are amazed how much my pronunciation has improved! (Much better than learning from someone from Morocco.) But the way the program itself is set up is awesome. The way the computer shows you exactly what letters you are pronouncing is pure genius! I may never get that Ra, but I used to think the same thing about the Kha, so who knows?? I love it!!

Being a Brazilian Portuguese native speaker, I was sure Italian would come easy for me (it is all Latin after all!). However, I couldn't imagine how glad I would be for this course. Rocket Italian offers a well structured method, balancing repetition and new lessons. The tools work perfectly, the audios are nice and clear, and the Forum is quite helpful. I am preparing to take an Italian Certificate in the future, and I know already this course saved me a lot of time and money on the way there.

I have been searching for a Russian language app that allows me to learn to speak Russian at least to a good conversational standard, but which also lets me learn to read and write the associated Cyrillic script at the same time as learning to speak the words ... only Rocket Russian seems to allow you to do all three things at the same time!

I particularly like the voice recognition software that takes my Russian speech and converts it into Russian text, letting me see immediately whether I have it right or not. This is awesome ... highly recommended!

I tried a few chinese learning apps/softwares and finally took RocketLanguages as my primary. The 2017 Edition shows major improvements and is on the latest technological standard. So far I am very pleased with the course materials.

I have been studying Spanish since high school however, I have not been able to comfortably carry on a conversation in Spanish. After using Rocket Spanish, I can more easily understand the native speakers around me. I am also able to carry short conversations with them.

It's refreshing to see something finally work for me. Thanks, Rocket Spanish!
