The Culture lessons leave so much to be desired. Why waste one on Che Guevarra, el Matar de la Cabana?
I've tried a variety of programs for learning French, but I've found Rocket Languages works well with my learning style. I'm not just learning nouns; I'm speaking, writing, and constructing full sentences. Some programs I've used involve just listening and repeating, and others just writing, but Rocket Languages has you doing them all, which really makes it easier and faster to retain information. I also really enjoy the cultural tidbits included within the lessons. Needless to say, I've already recommended the program to others!
I like that so much of the exercises use audio. Too many language teachers end up teaching how to read a language, but put very little emphasis on speaking and comprehension. I also really like the dictation exercises, mostly because they give me practice in comprehension of spoken Spanish.
I'm just starting out and find the lessons comfortable and easy to use. So far I need to go over each one several times and take notes to make progress. The program is very adaptable to my learning style.
My computer is having difficulty with my microphone and the flash player, not yet resolved. Even without my voice input I'm making good progress. The Rocket team are very responsive and easy to contact. Good value.
Blows Duolingo out of the water. I purchased this program for my teens before we make a trip to Latin America. We're enjoying it!
It's okay, it should go into more detail and provide lessons about writing in Japanese, as well as the speaking ones. I like pie as well, make a lesson about pie and fat potatoes. That's it. Byeeeeeee!!!
I really enjoy just plunging right into conversational Arabic and leaving the grammar till later. It seems more like the way children learn their own language. I like the way the speakers are energetic and optimistic!
I strongly agree with another reviewer who asked that there be a bar on the side of the page that refers to previous vocabulary - so we don't have to scroll up-up-up to find the words we're looking for. You mentioned that you will be adding this feature soon, but his question was about Rocket Spanish. Will my course (Rocket Arabic) be getting this feature also?
I have one more request. Is there some way to help us learn how to say the handful of "confused for each other" sets of letters in the Arabic alphabet? Like a video or a medical-type cartoon showing the position of the tongue etc when pronouncing these letters? The letters whose sounds don't appear in English are very frustrating. Just listening to them over and over is not helping me say them correctly. Kind of discouraging!
Overall I'm really enjoying the course though. Definitely the best approach to language I've ever experienced!

We will be displaying the vocab in the sidebar soon for all languages. And with regards your Arabic specific comments; I will put this to our linguistic experts and see what they say!
Like it so far, having a bit of trouble with the speaking part.

As arabic learner who learn arabic fusha I wish it had Modern Standard Arabic and may be other arabic learners would love to see other dialect on this platform
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Priyo - Modern Standard Arabic is not spoken anywhere. Spoken Arabic is in fact a range of dialects, and because our courses are all about getting you speaking, we concentrate on Egyptian Arabic.
Good for picking up conversation skills. Lessons build well on each other and great focus on practicing speaking. I do wish there was a greater variety in terms of the types of exercises to complete. Also more review type exercises would be nice.
