I love listening to the lessons in my car on the way to work! Instead of mindlessly listening to music in the car I can use that time to work on one of my goals. I have noticed significant improvement with my Spanish and plan to use rocket languages to start on my Russian soon.

I like the the course so far. As I've only started, I cannot say much. But the microphone does not work sometimes when recording. Also it would be good if courses were too, because some of the learners such as me cannot always pay for it. But otherwise, it is satisfactory.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Aiman - We haven't had any other people report issues with the voice recording. Note that Google had outages recently that may have affected how the voice recognition works. If it is still not working for you then I would suggest looking at this FAQ; https://www.rocketlanguages.com/help#226 and if that doesn't work send an email to customer support with details of what device and microphone you are using. I am sure we can resolve it!

The French works perfectly, the German for some reason can't access the microphone, I started using Rocket Languages when it was an audio only course, so I don't mind the tech problem. I replay my old discs mixed with music just so I get review now and then.

Highly recommend this course. For someone whose brain is all over the place, the well thought-through structure has helped me progress quickly! The interactive lessons are not boring and I really appreciate that it focuses on pronunciation, the written word and hearing to comprehend French! merveilleux!

I took Spanish growing up but never applied myself the way that I should have. I started taking Rocket Spanish to teach myself what I have forgotten and eventually become fluent. Everyday I do 1 hour's worth of course work and 30 minutes of review and I have a blast doing so.

I love this course and have recommended it to my friends. I can't wait to continue my progress and maybe take on a third language!

for practice sessions to improve one's ability to translate, I suggest showing the English first visibly separated from the German.

Overall, I think that it a very good course for learning a language at your own pace. The instructors are easy to understand, and the lessons are laid out in a logical manner. I have only gotten as far as lesson 7, but I can tell that the material is extensive. The only complaint that I have is that many points of grammar are not explained at all, I realize that many students of language don't like getting bogged down in a lot of grammar, but the lack of any explanation at all can lead the student to make false assumptions. As I said, I have only just begun the course, so I can only give you a couple of examples. These are cases where I was forced to google my question concerning some very basic material. For instance, the student is never given an explanation about the word "lo" and it's usage. Because of how it was introduced in the lesson, I made the erroneous assumption that "lo" and "yo" both meant "I" and were interchangeable. The instructor said that "lo siento" meant "I am sorry", never explaining that "lo" meant "it", with the actual translation being "I regret IT". Early on in the course, we were told that "tu" means "your, as in "tu madre".

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Edward. Thank you very much for your feedback! Indeed, the Interactive Audio lessons don't spend a lot of time on grammar - they are designed to focus more on pronunciation and on getting you comfortable speaking out loud in particular situations. However, there are full grammar explanations available in the course, and you can find these in the Language & Culture lessons. These lessons cover everything from basic pronouns to verb forms to adjectives - and they teach you about direct object pronouns like **lo** as well. If you find that your learning approach is more grammar-based than audio-based, it might be a good idea to start with the Language & Culture lessons first and intersperse them with Interactive Audio lessons as you go along. If you'd like to look up a particular grammar topic, the lesson titles in the Language & Culture section should be a good guide, but you can also use the Search function at the top of the page. I hope that this is helpful!
