Rocket Languages Reviews

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.

Rocket gives me flexibility to learn when I want to. And I can learn at my own pace. The lessons are fun and challenging with a nice mix of spoken and written language. The chunk style of learning is very effective in getting a quick feel for the language. Highly recommended!

This review pertains to Rocket Spanish and the Android APP. The short version is I am very happy with the format and content. My rate of learning has increased significantly since I started using Rocket Spanish. I will discuss the pros below and the several cons that keep this from being a 5 star rating.
After using Doulingo daily for 2 years (almost no missed days!) I am able to read some Spanish and have a fairly good vocabulary but cannot understand spoken spanish or speak Spanish well at all. I knew I needed something more to take it to the next level. After much research I decided on Rocket Spanish.
The pros:
Right away I am speaking Spanish sentences.
I can “hear” Spanish better. This has been the most fun for me because I feel I can understand TV, radio, and regular people (to some extent) so much better.
I love the lesson format. Hear it, say it, write it, know it (memory recall), and then the flash cards. I love the flash cards. The test portion is weak. Not going say it is a con but its 5 easy questions that don’t change if you redo the test.
I get as much help as I want on correctly annunciating the words. This is huge. I love that I can spend as much time as I want on correctly saying the words.

Quite good although the programme is not that easy to follow which makes it harder for me to buy.
I need a simple one with less computer glitches. Although this ones verbal pronunciations are good.
I also couldn’t understand jumping from modules throughout the trial.
No directions on how to get back to programme.

Since I wanted to learn Arabic, I took a trial version for 6 days and found this course to be satisfactory. Rocket languages gave me productive tools to understand the new language. Now I am hopeful and purchased a full version to take my learning to the next level. Looking forward to achieve some better results with the help of Rocket Languages.

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 tired the free trial for Rocket Languages as I was a bit skeptical. I really enjoyed the free trial. Its a great way to immerse yourself into the French language. I went ahead and bought all three levels! So far I am still in the early stages of level one but everything is going smoothly. I can't wait to use what I have learnt when I go to France to visit my boyfriend.

Classroom Japanese brought online - with room for improvement.
It's a well structured language training with actual Japanese speaking and good explanations of vocabulary and the language in general. The spoken Japanese really helps with recognition and pronunciation, great to listen to Sayaka and Shota. Having Rocket languages is like having your own language course online.
It is also where I find Rocket languages to be missing opportunities as it focus on providing classroom experience instead of supporting exploring the language trough individual self study.
There are many limitations on what you are allowed to do, for instance when you start a practice you cannot reset it nor show all vocabulary, you are forced to complete it. It would be better if everything would be available all ways.
The text-to-speech is also limited (Google based?), short words are often not understood (adding a random です helps), and longer sentences pronounced wrong is often corrected (saying ​今日はいい天気です。でも、明日は雨です。without the rain is magically corrected).
The biggest limitation is there is no system to help recalling. Vocabulary may be learned but then forgotten again. A Spaced Repetition System is missing although it is recognized as the best way to remember tings long term. All the kanji, kana, sounds and explanations are there, missing are pictures and the SRS itself.
At least there should be a simple way to export it all to e.g. Anki to make up for the limitation.

I have been looking for a language program to learn Egyptian Arabic that does not teach using pictures/flash card type learning. Finally, I found it! The price is fantastic for a "lifetime membership". I am only on the first lesson and I can already converse with my fluent boyfriend and his father, who is from Egypt. I love Rocket Language!
