Rocket Language is amazing it really helped me with my french in class! Cannot believe how easy the interface is easy to use! Thank you so much! Amazing. wonderful. the best. do not have enough words to tell you how amazing it is!
My family and I are currently in Mexico and are working on learning Spanish. Since this program starts with useful phrases, like how to ask for help or how to order coffee, it has been much more helpful than something like the popular owl-themed language app. (Why do so many programs want to teach me to talk about elephants? Not helpful!) Rocket Spanish also uses the type of Spanish that is actually spoken, unlike the Spanish I learned in high school, and the audio is a native speaker, not a computer-generated voice. My twelve year old daughter and I both like it, and the price is reasonable. A video element would be nice, but focusing on listening and speaking is fine considering the reasonable price and useful Spanish. This seems like a good first step before moving on to teachers online or in-person lessons, and we are already getting to use what we learn in daily life here.
Hello. I was born in the United States so my first language is English. Currently I’m extremely fluent in Spanish and Italian. I’ll elaborate on that later. I retired in 2008. In December of 2009 it was decided to purchase Rocket Spanish for myself as a Christmas present. Only Premium, Premium Plus and Platinum were available at that time so all 3 levels were purchased. I had no prior language training during life and no experience talking to others in any language except English. Rocket Spanish was downloaded to an iPod as part of my New Year resolution. I practiced most days while exercising and repeating everything aloud. Everything was finished multiple times that was contained in the Premium or first level in March. The entire level was basically memorized from repeating it so many times. The beginning of April 2010 I went to Panama on vacation for 3 weeks by myself. I didn’t get an interpreter and just went for it and made my way around much of the country by myself taking local bus transportation. The reality was for 4 days I was like “aaaaa”, then suddenly my brain said oh apparently you’re serious and started working without any problem speaking the Spanish I learned in the Premium course.

I've been using Rocket Japanese for a while now, and it is the greatest learning tool I have ever used. The lessons are in small bites so you don't get overwhelmed. Everything is explained in the lessons. Then there are the Culture, Grammar, and other lessons which are extremely useful. I love the in-depth way Rocket teaches, and they still manage to make it fun! The reinforcement activities are wonderful fun, and I do them over and over just because I can. It is so motivating to do a lesson over again, especially the Play It, and can pronounce all the sentences 100% correctly when I couldn't do it a month before. If you want to learn a language, Rocket is the way to do it, and you will learn and have fun at the same time.
Rocket languages is great. I am now studying Japanese with this course. The content is awesome and it is all relevant and practical material. It isnt random vocabulary that I would never use, for that reason i think it is great. It provides many exercises to drill your learning and commit the language to memory.
I love how the lessons are all grouped in their respective categories together, but if I could offer a recommendation, it would be to have a comprehensive learning path that bridges the categories together. Right now the lessons are in an order that starts with all the Audio Lessons, then into lessons that are reading based, then lessons that are cultural based. These are all grouped together. I feel having them combined in a way that would spread them out so that you dont have to be stuck without audio lessons or cultural explanations for things for a long period of time because you have to go through all the modules in that section. I hope this makes sense. Of course this may just be a preference of mine, but could be a great addition to the course. :)
I purchased Rocket Spanish after watching a close friend communicate in Spanish, 2 months after he had purchased the program. He motivated me to buy it because of his rapid progression without a background in the language. He went on a trip to Colombia and flew to multiple airports, caught taxis, exc...Now we have become accountability partners and endeavor to practice a lesson daily. When we meet up, we tell each other about what we learned or struggle with.
This program helps me to practice aloud in Spanish at least 10 minutes a day due to the length of the lessons and the ability to track my progress. This is the everyday Spanish that I need between my other college studies. I have recommended it to all of my classmates, multiple professors, and pastor. The lessons incorporate applicable, real-life situations (birthdays, vacations, eating, working) that focus on conversational use of the language. I have already purchased levels 2 & 3. I think Rocket Languages is a great program and learning platform!
Hello i have known english all my life and have not been opportuned to learn other foreign tongue, but right now i have started using Rocket Languages for french education and its been awesome. Thanks
The introductory lesson was very well done. The host and teacher have pleasant voices, speak clearly and intelligibly and seem enthusiastic. The instructions were clear and the method promotes retention of proper words and pronunciation. I enjoyed the lesson and look forward to improving my Italian vocabulary and pronunciation as we prepare for a visit to Italy next year. I think these lessons will enable me to learn Italian while exercising, a real “win win” as I get ready for lots of walking in the beautiful cities and towns of Italy (where I have no plans to attempt driving an automobile).
Hello, Marie Claire is fantastic. I look forward to seeing her messages in my browser to learn something new every day she contacts me. I find
it very satisfying and exciting to be learning a new language and looking forward to putting it to good use in the future days. Many thanks for being my colleague and teacher. Learning with Rocket French is fantastic. continued success. Ray King. U.K.
