Rocket Languages Reviews

I've been studying Rocket French for a few days now and... it's great! I ended up buying the full 3 course set. The subject matter is really easy to follow and the 4 forms of testing are really helpful! I'd love to update my review later when I'm farther in the course.

The only con I have is instead of starting with the Alphabet/Pronunciation, the French course starts with a few simple phrases for four lessons. They are very helpful sentences but it threw me off when I first started.

However, it isn't that big of a deal. I'd say overall Rocket French is a great language system and worth the money! Salut!

I put off buying Rocket Spanish for a long time, mostly due to all the Spammy type marketing I saw online. However, after purchasing a few others, and still finding myself lacking, I decided to give it a try. I am glad I did. It is a very thorough, useful tool to learn actual conversational Spanish. The type of Spanish that is useful in actually talking to people. I highly recommend it.

I purchased Rocket Languages Spanish and German over five years ago and did so because the program was rather inexpensive when compared to Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur which I have also purchased and enjoy. I do feel Rocket Languages is actually the better of the three programs and the reason I purchased two languages was because I can use Spanish everyday at work. I have a lot of patients who only speak Spanish and I have to rely on others to translate for me and I am getting tired of relying on them. I chose German because I used to live in Germany and tried to learn the language but everyone spoke English so I seldom had an opportunity to practice German. I will say I like the Spanish program better than the German one because Mauricio sends me weekly updates to encourage me to continue practicing with new phrases . I haven't heard from Paul in five years. Since Mauricio send me the updates I started thinking last week if I had just studied for 15 minutes a day these past five years I would probably be fluent enough to converse with my patients so I decided to reengage with rocket languages and see where the next five years finds me. Hasta Pronto

I haven't been on in a long long time. Rocket Japanese/Sayaka San sent updates weekly Honestly I read through them but never came to the site. Until today. Today I clicked on the interactive lessons.It is exactly what I needed right now. I really like that you can record yourself and see how close you come to a native speaker's speech. They provide you with realistic scenarios as well. It's a really good program and I am glad I am back. So--don't worry that you have been gone awhile. You may also just what you need at just the right time.

It is an amazing website to learn. I am at the 3rd day of trial and I will definately buy a course. I hope I can speak German fluently after a short time. The best thing I like of the web is the recording of my voice. I can hear my own voice and check if I say it wrong or right.

Rocket Spanish has been so helpful. The dialogues are good for listening in the car, and the exercises make sure you are thinking, understanding, and pronouncing correctly. This is better than any other language tool I've used outside of the classroom.

I am an adult learner and have a real-life need to have a good working use of Spanish for travel and work in Central and South America. I have been studying Spanish for about 6 years so I have a fairly good grasp of the language. I have used all the widely-known, self-directed courses, multiple online resources, have a small library of Spanish books, even hired a tutor at the cost of $100/hour from Colombia. Bottom line in all of this, is that learning a new language is work- a lot of work. What you get out of your learning experience is directly related to how much effort you're willing to put in. I rarely endorse anything unless it stands out from the crowd or impresses me. I like several things about this program. First the price- it's a good value and a one-time purchase for however much you want to dive in. It doesn't continue to gouge you month after month. You buy it- it's yours for life. And if you're a new learner or even intermediate level, you will return to this as a resource over and over. Because (very important) you will NOT absorb every single bit of information the first time around. To think you will have 100% recall after one-time through is extremely unrealistic.

I have learned many words using another (and free) internet program but my recognized written vocabulary is much weaker than my conversational vocabulary. Rocket's emphasis upon the spoken word is what I need to work on now. I expect to make annual trips to Ecuador for the next few years and definitely need advanced conversational skills.

This app has helped me so much with improving my Korean skills. I started off with this website knowing zero words of Korean and now I can not only read, but write it. It provides you with authentic accents and full conversations between native Korean speakers which make it easier to pronounce the words correctly and understand the way they communicate. I'm so happy to have stumbled upon a website that is not only affordable but also very user friendly. I would recommend this to anyone who is beginning a language or even someone who is unsure of where they stand on a language. It really helps you a lot.

The writing and recording features are very cool, and I like the audio clips for while I'm driving - I pair this with Pimsleur and find its a nice blend between textbook learning and audio learning thanks to the interactive lessons, plus being able to do it online is very helpful and gets my practice typing with the spanish keyboard.
