Rocket Languages Reviews

I have tried to speak Spanish for years, buying into memorizing vocabulary with its gender and count, listing verb conjugation, breaking down tense usage, and referencing dictionary check. And yet, no matter how much I applied myself, I would fail miserably at sentence structure. I could not relate my thoughts to others. I struggled with verb tenses relative to mood and emotion. I used multiple verb sets to indicate mood. I was lost and would quit trying. There were times I would focus so intently on a conversation, a headache would result.

Rocket Language put my focus on communicating in Spanish, not memorization and grammar. Initially, I realized that learning how to pronounce Spanish words (sounds) enabled others to identify my spoken words and thereby understand my attempts to speak to them. I placed more emphasis in this area. I discovered that now, I could identify words spoken by a fluent spanish talker that were spoken to me. I realized that simple learned conversational phrases could be modified and combined to fit a variety of life's situation. More learned verbs could be used to convey more ideas, gain information and fluency.

I took ASL in NYC years ago and missed it, also started to forget... but the videos are a good reminder, easy to understand and testing yourself helps... learn at your own speed too. Really enjoying this :)

I tried out Rosetta Stone for a few weeks to try and learn Korean, but I hated it. The learning format was so confusing. I had no idea what I was learning. I looked up more ways to learn Korean and I found Rocket Languages. It is 100 times better than Rosetta Stone and I actually understand what I'm learning. 10/10 would buy again.

I completed Pimsleur Egyptian Arabic Level 1 and attempted some Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) for 2 weeks before going back to focusing on a dialect since nobody speaks MSA. This course is great but to get the most out of it, you have to focus on writing & reading everything (no shortcuts) in Arabic Script as many times as necessary until you don't have to rely on the latin (Franco-Arabic Script). Only then, can you move on to reading Arabic (Egyptian) Press, Books, Graded Readers, song lyrics etc... This program will get you to a solid intermediate!

I fell in love with Japanese through Anime. The Japanese Grammar is so different from all the other languages I speak. One really has to learn to think like a Japanese person and I think Rocket Japanese really has the best approach to it. Explaining Grammar where it is necessary and leaving it aside where it isn't. Their program is also the most pragmatic one. You really learn relevant stuff for every day life. Other programs make you speak like a lifeless robot, not Rocket Japanese. It also is the most comprehensive language course for Japanese I know of. The price may be a little bit high but it seems to be worth it. The reason why I probably won't be buying any other courses is that I already bought the 3 levels for Japanese. It already is my 5th language and I don't want to add another one.

Accessible and targeted, this course has been really helpful so far. No one else in my family or circle of friends is trying to learn Russian, so it's been harder to find authentic audio, which this course has really helped with.

I am finding the Rocket Italian course really helpful in learning the language. I have wanted to learn Italian for some time, but was always nervous that I might freeze up when actually faced with needing to speak it. But the voice recording and playback options online negate this as it allows you to become accustomed with pronunciation and helps build self confidence.

I'm thoroughly enjoying the lessons, and feel like Maria and Alex have become daily friends I "hang out" with. I would definitely recommend this course if you are desiring to learn the language!

Rocket Languages is a fantastic way to learn a new language. This program is truly appealing.... The Rocket review makes this application a fun and complete learning experience. Although the price made me think twice, Rocket Languages is worthy. It is really worth it. I recommended to those who are unsure... Trust me, this is a great investment.

IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE, AND APPEALING. IT DOES HAVE SOME NULL VIDEOS WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO PRACTICE THOSE SECTIONS, BUT IN GENERAL IT'S A GREAT WAY TO LEARN ASL. The system is great an the videos are very good. Some are done fast, specially the left hander interpreter, and it gives you the challenge to read left side

I'd like to start with a statement, that this is a very subjective opinion. I have been active user of Rocket Italian for some 4 months. At the same time I was (also very actively) using another programs, like Duolinguo, Memrise, RosettaStone and various on-line Italian podcasts and learning programs "on the fly", both on PC and on a mobile devices (mainly smartphone) - News in Slow Italian, Learn Italian etc. Having such a broad experience I can say, that Rocket Italian is a very useful and efficient way of learning Italian. What I wanted most is to avoid direct comparisons between various platforms, especially because such comparisons are not reasonable. Probably there is not a single universal platform for everybody, and there seems to be no "one fits all" philosophy, at least when it comes to programs facilitating language learning. Every platform is oriented slightly differently, and possibly is optimal for different types of learners (visual, audio, kinetic, mixed etc), wanting to learn different skills first/most (grammar, vocabulary, speaking, etc.). But taking into consideration all this things I can say honestly, that Rocket Italian is OPTIMAL FOR ME.
