Rocket Languages Reviews

I think the Rocket format is a solid tool for learning - especially for beginners. Each lesson is a conversation between two people that you study and use to learn vocabulary and grammar. I always enjoyed that the format gave me little "stories" I could grab on to as memory aids. It really gave me a great start.

As my enthusiasm waned, as it always will when learning something new and moving past the beginner phase, I found that the rocket format started to bog me down a little. Some lessons would have over 60 phrases to practice and memorize. I'd get bogged down trying to get through the homework. I felt my learning speed was slowing down as I entered Level 2 of the course, and I began to turn to other tools like "Spanish Dict (spanishdict.com)" to augment the material and speed me up.

I think the course could be improved drastically in three ways.

1) Shorten Lessons. People like to move through lessons quickly. It produces a sense of accomplishment. This means, reducing the number of phrases to be mastered in each lesson.

2) Enhance Memorization Tools. There are well known systems for reviewing words and the idea of building a deck of flashcards you can continuously review is missing from the toolkit of Rocket Spanish.

Excellent so far -- love all the options to practice, including speaking and writing.

It's great to be able to hear French speakers speaking normally and then be able to copy and respond. Really helps get your ear in, and practice speaking fluently, and with the correct rhythm - which is so French. Super!

I feel that this course is great and it really helps me understand how to learn french in a way that I can process the information. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that is starting out a language and are struggling this is great for people who want to learn.

Fantastic course! Thank you very much for the opportunity given to try learning the French for free at the beginning!
It's well organized and structured - as the learning materials given for audio and visual perception and combined with tasks and quizzes. Many thanks once more! Mercy

After only six Spanish lessons I happened to drive past a beer garden in a small town in Texas. There was a sign in the front that had a hand drawn humorous quip written in Spanish. I knew what it said! There was no stopping and mentally translating. I just read it and understood!

This course works for me because it has a step by step approach that teaches by building on previously taught words and sentences.

I am enjoying the course.

The lessons starts off simple, but surprisingly conversations begin to be possible.
The repetition, speaking, reading and writing exercises all reinforce each other.
The culture lessons are a nice plus.
It is not a magic course, I have to put work into it, but it is well worth the time and effort.

I appreciate the lessons; I have also hired a tutor to assist me with the Japanese language. I would like to take a trip to Japan someday!!

For the first time I am hearing my own voice in French. There so much to improve. I'd never realized it if not for this excellent Rocket's course. Highly recommended.

I am in awe of how fast you can learn a new language using Rocket Languages! They make it so easy and simple for you! I am 100% happy about the results I am getting!
