Great program. Excellent teaching methods. Practical writing exercises. Great audio review to practice.with Rocket I do not need to go to a language classes. I have been learning Japanese for 10 years . Old methods were tedious and expensive. I have achieved a lot with Rocket .
I've just started with Rocket French, so it's a bit early to say but so far the site is easy to use and I enjoy having the very specific structure with timings for each lesson. I'm dyslexic, so have some difficulty processing what I've heard which effects my recall, so the learning is very slow. I need to go over the previous lesson, often several times and also write it down. The option of using the role play after the main lesson is a good teaching method as you have to recall the information in a different way.
As a language educator for almost 20 years, I can really appreciate the hard work that has gone into the Rocket courses. One part that stands out is the dialogs with the sentence focus and the interactivity with them. The conversations seem quite useful and the 'extra vocabulary' (read: extra expressions) for each lesson are great. When learning any language, improving vocabulary is necessary (of course), the key is doing so in the context of sentences and life-like situations which make them truly more memorable and enjoyable! Rocket does that.
Suggestions to further improve the experience would be:
- Using the audio from section "6. Play it!" provide an additional download 'button' for the role-play's audio only, this is in addition to the entire lesson with the English explanations like you do at the start of each lesson. That would be so helpful to listen to and playback while in the car or on the bus etc.
- 75% speed button for dialogs. Having the option to go a little slower with some of the sentences is really handy to pick up on the exact sounds and then reproduce them.
- End of module review of some type. It could be simply a random selection of content from each subsection and exercise type.
Response from Rocket Languages
Response from Rocket Languages:
-The role play tracks are available, all stitched together in one track. They are in the last Module of each Level.
-Noted. The issue is to get this working consistently across all the different browsers and devices. It is something we are looking at.
-There are Rocket Certification tests at the end of each Module. Just look at My Dashboard. Note that we recently added a Benchmark test, which is available under My Tools > My Progress
Keep up the good work!
The program is well done - small chunks and plenty of practice. The voice recognition is generally decent, but can be inaccurate sometimes. Be sure that you are pronouncing at a normal pace and extra clearly and extra loudly. Even with that, this program is miles ahead of Rosetta Stone.
I've been using Rocket Spanish for several years now and if I was able to stick to it, I would be fluent by now as it is a very good program. My problem with sticking with it isn't a problem with Rocket Spanish, but my problem of not setting aside enough time to do it. The lessons get progressively longer and I don't like to do a partial lesson. I want to complete the entire lesson in one sitting and I don't have time so tend not to do it at all. I know I need to let this go. Gratefully, Rocket Spanish is still there waiting for me.
This is just what i have been looking for. Can't believe how easy the lessons are to understand. Also the price is extremely good. I am looking forward to increasing my Hindi language which at the moment is quite poor because i was unable to find a course that i could use and understand. Thankyou very much!
Well,my experience learning languages by way or Rocket Languages,is very efective.While a try to learn German,for example,all the instrucctios are in English...So, I learnn to much for the tranversal or inter-connecting languages.If you study methodically you'll get a great success.
Rally,is very good , it brings you many advantages,just to study almost forever..
It's always fun to get on and learn new thing. It's actually helped me grow a lot this year in Spanish compared to last year. And i can use it when ever and where ever. And i like how it has different levels for each stage and how it quizzes what you know. But it is also very easy to cheat on. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn a new language besides Spanish too.
Great program to get started if you do not know Japanese at all. Good for beginner to intermediate. I haven't utilized the site long enough to see all the resources it has, but i do think it is convenient that it has an app that operates the same way as the site on a PC.
The rocket languages help me to understand and how I can learn French when I'm in class it educates me so much I never come of the website and though I'm Nigeria I can speak French to my brothers a lot .
