Rocket Languages Reviews

It is extremely difficult to find a good course for learning Japanese, or any non-european language in general online. Language courses are too often grammar rulebooks where you simply memorize the words. Rocket Languages, or at least the Japanese course is not at all like this. It provides a natural and intuitive learning structure that encourages you to listen and speak the language from an early stage. It is very well paced, so you come away from each lesson with a moderate understanding which you then build on throughout the course. I think this is a far better method than forcing you to know everything perfectly before moving on to the next part. When you do learn grammar, you have already used it in realistic sentences and heard it in conversations, so you have a feel of how it works. This also makes the learning process more enjoyable. Now the negatives. The 'Rocket Reinforcement activities' are great, but I find they are a bit repetitive after a while, I do wish there was more variety in the exercises. They do suggest good practices, such as using the language in books, video games, ect. but don't actually give any resources to do so yourself, something I have found other courses do much better.

This is a wonderful place to gain a foothold in Spanish speaking, reading, and listening. So far I've learned a great deal of new vocabulary; my pronunciation has improved; and listening comprehension has improved as well. Not much more I can ask from the program. The supplementation I do outside of the program is input the words into Anki for review. Definitely not reviewing the entire submodule.

I started my German-speaking journey with Duolingo, which is great for a foundational base and expanding the basic vocabulary. I know predominantly use Rocket German, while maintaining Duolingo as a complementary vocabulary and a repetition resource.

I like the lessons. The only downside is that I like to do lessons on a device -- specifically, a waterproof iPod while I do cardio in the pool for an hour -- not on my computer or phone. Unfortunately, with your program, I have to download one lesson at a time, rather than download all the lessons at once so I can put them into a file and transfer them to my device. That's the reason I would not purchase from you again. If there is a work around that would allow me to do a single download, like I can with Pimsleur, I would definitely buy from you again.

Really good program to improve lost skills. Signing gets lost when not practiced

Pretty good course, has a lot of exercises to help you remember everything

I just started the advanced course and I find the conversation very difficult to follow. It is hard to
Understand because the speech is fast and slurred not clearly spoken. Especially when new words and phrases are used..
The first two courses don't prepare you well enough with verb conjugation either.

I am very happy with the app for learning conversational skills. I particularly value the practice and reinforcement elements.

Love this program! I've been wanting to learn Korean for ages and this made it so easy. I love the vocal exercises and the steady introduction of new topics. It’s a challenging language to learn, but this program makes it fun!

I am glad to have discovered Rocket Languages and happy to have the chance to learn Japanese which I will be able to use into the professional context, as a staff of a Japanese company.
I am very keen to learn the Japanese culture and expect to be able to hold a conversation at some point and travel to be into the practical Japanese world.
