Currently using the trial version to see if its something I'd buy and yes it definitely is, though for the asking price even at a discount I am surprised at how buggy the podcast clip is (when i pause or try to skip back/forward the audio completely stops) and the notes tab needs a function to enlarge as there is wasted space and the box given is too small to see the notes properly forcing me to scroll up and down constantly to see what's written not to mention the scrolling does not break properly and skips note lines. Also do wish there was an option to use this offline other than downloading the podcasts, I see no need to be in browser constantly for this unless I was conversing with others online or keeping track of points.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Adol - Thanks for your review. Regarding the audio issue, I am not sure whether you are using the app or a browser, so please contact customer support and they will sort you out! That is a good point re the Notes section, we will look into enlarging that area. And finally, with the iOS and Android apps you can download the tracks for offline use. You can also download the lessons themselves as PDFs.

The software is pretty good so far. Eventually, more interactive speaking via unexpected questions or commentary to respond to as well as slang would be useful. Entire, paragraphs of speech (some of which I assume will come in more advanced lessons) to have to parse and then respond to in a novel way it seems would be effective.
Also, since language seems to be acquired more effectively through speaking, a way of separating pure speaking instances from reading instances of the same words and phrases, would be useful. Developing learning which does not rely on picturing words in the mind first when they are spoken to you, but a purely separate verbal memory would seem to be useful.
The drilling of the material in various forms is effective. The repetition that comes from it is needed; I know by other experience.
Again so far so good!

It's challenging, but I hope to learn more each day. This is only my second lesson in the trial but I'm hopeful and excited. So far the lessons seem relevant in context to real life conversations and interactions. I am only on my first month of study but other lessons I've tried did not use any relevant conversation in context. I've read good reviews about rocket to lead me here, so I will make a good review from what i have seen so far. I have a specific language learning goal to be able to communicate with a korean family member in one year. I'm not sure if that is specific enough, but I'm certain that I will at least be able to have a simple conversation with her already when the same time using duolingo didn't teach me anything useful.

I'm enjoying the course a good deal. I have a couple of minor concerns, not actually connected with the approach of the course. One is that I've now been awarded the same Blue Star classification for the fourth consecutive time. Does that indicate that there's no higher classification? If so, I think you should tell me this. Secondly, I regularly receive offers to purchase level 3 of Rocket German; in fact, I purchased level 3 several months ago. Concerns aside, I am finding the course quite useful.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Paul - Thanks for your feedback! The badges are actually changing as you progress, however the changes may be too subtle so we will look into it! And we will sort out the issue with the email.

I have been so impressed with the learning experience with Rocket French. I've learnt more in three months than I did in six years at school (I got a 'C' at GCSE). The lessons are interactive enough to feel like I'm really gaining practical experience of the language, and the badge and points system keeps me motivated to practise every day.
I'm just starting the third module of level two and I feel like I'm well beyond where I was at school.
I've done hours of lessons so far and repeated some lessons to make sure everything is really sinking in. I recommend this as you'll find that repeating lessons a few times makes new stuff stick in your head!

It is really helpful and I am learning faster than my siblings who are using Rosetta Stone.
