Rocket Languages Reviews

I can't give a good review as I just started and already I keep getting nag screens insisting I write a review. This is after buying the entire lifetime package. Since there is no way to "don't ask again" or "wait until later" I have to say this just to stop it.

So the program is pretty decent. Using Rocket will definitely increase proficiency. The most frustrating part of the platform by far is the new voice recording system -it's extremely slow and very un-responsive. It slows down the whole learning process. Customer service is cumbersome process but based on the cost of the program, it's not fair to expect that much.

1, Right now teaching & understanding grammar is weak in the program
2. Need to progress further to decide if I'll buy again
3. decent price when discounted
4. I would explain what I understand of the program at this point.
5. Help with browser recording process almost useless.
"Take Italy Made Easy" (Manu's) videos and couple it with these structured exercises and you'd have a much stronger program.

Comprehensive but sometimes doesn't fit my learning style. What i liked, the new role play feature, speaking and the writing practice. What I don't like , the long and often tedious practice sessions (how many times do i have to say "Hola, Amy", especially for the grammer sections which could have more helpful learning examples rather than rote learning phrases. This is especially necessary for difficult topics like object pronouns. Vocab layout is not as good as Duolingo.
The dialogues are good, well explained and generally relevant. Overall its not bad but thinking of switching to an AI style of learning.

I am exploring rocket chinese, I miss some examples of practice diffent conversation situations and also the quiz is static, when you repeat the quiz is very easy to answer. The rocket review is very good, but should be also dinamic. Anyway I try many chinese courses and this one is the one that I feel more confortable for the moment.

I like the interactive part it really helps with memory. So far the voice recognition has been really annoying, maybe because im a perfectionist and when it wont record correctly I cant move on. Also I have not had any grammar lesson on conjugations. If i hadnt had a background in Spanish I think I would be a little lost by now.

Good but it would be better if you had more help with the pronunciation of the Mandarin words. I know I can listen to your recording and mine but I can't seem to figure out how to fix my pronunciation to match what is taught

It's so annoying. The microphone won't work. It keeps on saying "no speech detected," even when I am yelling it out in a quiet environment.

I definitely loved it even I just try it for a while. However, the price is so HIGH and EXPENSIVE for a student like me.

A good way to learn some basic language skills that can assist with getting around a foreign country.
