Rocket Languages Reviews

I initially started learning Spanish before visiting Perú four years ago and found that the materials in the course were an excellent preparation for real conversations in real situations. I am planning another trip to Perú this year, so have dusted off the lessons and even bought the third level this time - aiming to advance beyond my proficiency reached in preparation for my last visit.
I mainly learn from the audio lessons while travelling and like to use the online activities for review. I really like the way each lesson builds upon the vocabulary and grammar from previous lessons.
I am always recommend Rocket Languages to friends when they are talking of travelling and learning some of the language of their destination.

It's hard to think how Rocket Chinese could possibly be improved. The content is just amazing, everything from the language itself through to very helpful culture tips as well.

The hosts are delightful, easy to understand and a pleasure to learn from. Obviously Chinese is not the easiest of languages to learn and progress would be impossible without a very well thought out and executed training program such as this.

Well done to everyone involved, I'm thoroughly enjoying my language learning and I certainly appreciate all the hard work that must have gone into developing, improving and running the course.

I have used rocket Spanish and loved it. I will soon be taking a trip to Italy so I am now trying to learn using rocket Italian . Rocket Languages, in my opinion, are the very best and easiest way to learn a new language.

I've used several trial versions of online Hindi courses and Rocket was my choice at the end. Best price, online version is fully downloadable, allowing you to learn on the move, exercises are fun and pertinent, lessons teach you words and sentences that you can immediately use with friends or at work or in chat app with Hindi speaking people.

Rocket Japanese is super easy to use, and I would say that I learned better with Rocket Japanese than I ever did with Rosetta Stone. It is super easy to follow the instructions, and the leaderboard they have really appeals to my competitive side.

It's really useful, if you are motivated, that's the best online programme i have ever done. I am doing level one and when i finish i intend to keep up with level 2 and 3!

I like the fact that you have to speak, listen, writte, do real conversation and the audios for the lessons are very good, you don't get bored doing it which is very important!

The lessons have so many different aspects to them! Starting the first module, I thought it would take forever to get the basics down. But after doing every quiz and flashcard, pronouncing for the microphone every phrase, and even doing the writing portions, I realized how much I was learning in just one lesson. It takes time, dedication, hard work, and persistence. But if you're trying to learn another language, you shouldn't be surprised. The lessons are all-encompassing, helpful, and informative. Also, even just the weekly blogs on studying or learning a language are helpful because they can tell you what to do outside of the lessons to help you learn. This site isn't here to make you memorize. It's here to help you learn.

Even though I am retired, I still find it very easy to learn Spanish with Rocket. My wife and I are preparing for a trip to South America. This course is wonderful. I love all the different ways that are available to study the language. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

(Japanese, Level 1 review) Methodically located somewhere between Pimsleur, YesJapan/Japanese From Zero and Japanesepod101, Rocket Japanese provides a strong, content-rich guided learning experience that can serve as a backbone to any serious self-learning effort. Of all the programs I have tried (including Rosetta Stone, Textfugu, WaniKani, Living Language, the Genki textbooks and those mentioned above), this is certainly the most comprehensive and challenging from the start.
Conversation exercises, which are at the core of the program, are very well executed and the speech recognition system ensures that there is a degree of accountability here. For auditive learners such as myself, these work just as well if not better than Pimsleur, which is an old but effective way to memorize phrases and gain some initial conversational skills.
The main weakness of Rocket Japanese comes in the lack of a spaced repetition system. I STRONGLY advise learners to use an external flashcard software (such as Anki) or analogue flashcards for their vocab learning. Since actually creating flashcards is in itself good practice, however, I wouldn't deduct any points for this given the overall strong showing on display.

Having some familiarity with Spanish, I appreciate the conversational approach to learning vs simple memorization of vocabulary words. I'll be interested to see how this enhances my retention. So far, so good!
