The amount of information here is staggering for a beginner like myself,however I'm lucky for 2 reasons.Firstly,I have been using Memrise for 18 months so many of the words are familiar to me and secondly my Philipinna wife lived in Japan for 25 years and is completely fluent in Japanese so I don't have a problem with the voice playback as I never use it.The customer service is fantastic and I would recommend this program to anyone,my wife says it is a bit formal but it's better to learn formal and go down than learn anime and try to go up.Great program guys,thanks to Sayaka san and Kenny san(he's ok for a pommy).
Hi, I am a composer and I am 61 years old. That means on one side that I know a lot about memorizing music, that has - like language - also rhythm and sound. On the other hand my brain is not so young like a 20 years old person. That means, that I am happy for any help for memorizing the vocabulary, sentences, sounds, rhythms of the language I am learning. In my case that is KOREAN, very difficult to learn for a western educated person like me.
Overall I am very satisfied with RocketKorean! Thank you very much! I tried out many competitor's software on the net, but finally I decided for RocketKorean as the best I could find.
But, because I tried out many other software, and because I am a professional musician, I have some suggestions to enhance RocketKorean. But first I appologize for naming an other product: Pimsleur
Pimsleur has bad speakers in their Korean course, also for German the male voice has an Berlin-accent etc. Pimsleur also is very poor on writing skills and on Korean culture.
But one thing is more sophisticated and elaborated: the half hour daily lecture with a rhythm of repetition that was constructed by the brain scientist Pimsleur. Also speaking words by syllables backward.
I absolutely LOVE Rocket Russian! I have tried so many other books, programs, cds, online tutorials, etc - and this is by far my favorite so far. I love that it uses a lot of repetition to build your foundation. I also love that it's not a monthly thing - but a lifetime subscription so I can take my time and not feel guilty about missing a day or two.
Great program! Love it! Thanks!!
I´m very pleased with Rocket French. I love the extras like the pronunciation. I have a hard time with some of the words and the fact that I can record myself is very helpful. The ability to print the lesson is also a big plus. I´m very happy with it.
I have several French learning programs and I like each of them for different reasons. I like Rocket French very much indeed as the lessons are well organized and concentrated. I like how each leçon is structured and how the activities stress and test different strengths and weaknesses in my language learning process. I like that I am challenged to discover whether I actually learned the lesson. I feel that the price is a fair one given the depth of material that is delivered and I have purchased Levels 1-3. I would purchase Rocket French again. I do tell people that if they only want to purchase one program that Rocket French is the one to purchase. The language and culture lessons and the survival kit aspects of the program are superb.
Mi idioma nativo es español, mi opinion personal para este programa es que sea realizado de una forma mas entendible para el alumno, me refiero a que si estas escuchando una conversacion, seria bueno a la vez ver como se escribe lo que estas escuchando. Una video conferencia seria cinco estrellas. gracias.
I have been using Rocket Italian for approximately 2 weeks now, i have used Pimsleur, the problem with Pimsleur is that they don't explain what you are learning, Rocket Italian explains as you go, every session is concise and clear, and the most important thing is that I'm learning.
Just a great program

Whenever i email Maria DiLorenzi i get a reply very very helpful.
It's been about 6 weeks on Rocket Spanish. I'm having a blast learning Espanol. Overall I give it 5 stars.
My observations: introduction of a new word (noun, adjective, adverb, preposition - whatever) without any explanation (te, se, lo) is most disconcerting for me; asking a question when no answer has been provided in the lesson falls in the same category; also adding un-necessary sounds like 'a' before a word can be confusing, Mauricio is guilty of that - BUT these are really minor things and do NOT occur a lot.
I supplement my learning with Google translate and spanishdict.com/conjugation.
I stumbled on an error with the software which was adequately resolved although I was surprised it happened.
I absolutely recommend Rocket Language for everyone who wants to learn a foreign language from the absolute begginer level! This Interactive Audio Course is innovative, it has surpassed all my expectations! I'm very happy for choosing this course to learn French.
I honestly cannot believe how much progress I have made in one day alone. Rocket Korean has put an end to my struggle of learning the language and I'm finally excited to keep moving forward in learning Korean!
