Extremely satisfied, considering the amount of hours I have already poured into this it was more than worth the price.

I would purchase it again, and would purchase add-ons/expansions, and have already recommended it to others.

In Japan since three weeks ago. To prepare,
I worked on a subset of Rocket Japanese Level 1 dialogues, and language and culture lessons, that focus on greetings; train, bus, taxi travel; food and drink; grocery and convenience stores; visiting cultural attractions, checking in at hotels. Plus reading and writing hiragana and katakana.
With that, independent travel in Japan has been easy and fun. Hurrah for Rocket Japanese!

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Andrew, thank you for leaving a review. We love hearing about how our users are applying what they learn from our course, whether it be at home or abroad. It's great that Rocket Japanese has enhanced your trip to Japan and allowed you to navigate around with ease. All the best!

I love the Italian course. It is hard to learn Italian, even though my native language is Spanish (we share feminine and masculine), but a lot of words are so different. I'll try my best. Thank you! I just would like to suggest something new in your website: It will be great if we can have a real time chat to ask questions and get the answers right away, instead of waiting for somebody to answer by email.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Isabel, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. You're absolutely right, learning a new language can be a challenge, but give yourself time and we're confident that you'll get the hang of it. As for your question about a chat, we actually have a similar feature called the "Forum," which is located in the tools section. The great thing about this feature is that the responses are from linguistic experts who know the language inside and out. Feel free to post any language questions that pop up in there. All the best!

I'm greatly enjoying the experience, but i wish the tests were more comprehensive. the tests only consist of 5 questions, nothing difficult, nothing that requires a lot of memory, and they're not randomized (the position of the answer) so it's difficult not to remember the position of the answer vs the actual answer itself after the first time.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Donald, thank you for your review. It's awesome to hear you are enjoying Rocket Japanese. We appreciate your feedback in regard to the Quiz reinforcement activity, and it has been passed on to our Product Development team to take into account when they make course updates. All the best with your Japanese language-learning!

I used to be very impressed by rocketfrench, but there are a lot of things that I don't agree with anymore after almost two years of using it.
The good:
1. Listening to native speakers, repeating it, comparing it, having the scripted conversations - all that is good for pronunciation and I enjoy that.
2. there is a structure
The bad:
1. Updates that feel like beta-versions -> I did not pay to be a beta tester
2. The translation approach is outdated and will not lead to fluency.
3. The translation approach often does not make sense in the grammar chapters.
hints as to which version of multiple options to use are literal translations instead of contextual hints, that would lead to better understanding of the concepts underneath.
4. As in many other courses it is mostly very formal written french that you learn, sometimes some "real spoken french" is mixed in and that mix does not make much sense as it mixes different "registers" like formal, neutral, familiar french.

Most upsetting are the updates, that change the programm and not always for the better.
If it were always changes for the better, improving things and giving more options, I would be fine with that.
But sometimes things are being taken away and taking things away from customers is not a good idea.
That is not a problem for new customers, cause they are not missing anything.
But it is a problem for me as a user of almost two years and I don't have what I bought anymore.

Response from Rocket Languages

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts after nearly two years of using Rocket French, Armin. We truly value long-term users like yourself, and we appreciate your detailed feedback. We’d like to clarify that the recent updates you've mentioned are part of a user interface refresh, designed to improve the overall learning experience. While the visual design may look different, none of the content or core functionality of the activities you originally purchased has been removed or altered. The listening, pronunciation, and grammar lessons and structured progression you highlighted as beneficial remain fully intact!

It is a great app to use for quick and easy learning of a new language. I wish, however, that the price was a little better for students.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Gray, thank you for leaving a review. It's awesome to hear that you're finding Rocket Italian to be a valuable tool for picking up the language. Although the price may be a barrier for students, it is worth noting that unlike many other subscription based services we offer full lifetime access to the course and all updates for one payment (or six instalments). This allows you to use the course indefinitely. All the best with your Italian language-learning journey!

After stopping for a while, I recently picked up this course again, and wow, have I learned a lot in such a short period of time. Even though my native language (Mandarin/Cantonese) is more similar to Japanese than a lot of languages, the language is still quite difficult to learn. However, it was easy to start again because everything about this website was very easy, efficient, and satisfying to use. Overall, this is a very underrated language learning tool. :)

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Jason, thank you for your review. It's great that you can see yourself making such clear progress in a short amount of time and finding that the Japanese course is intuitive and easy to follow. Happy learning!
