Rocket Languages Reviews

I'm very happy with this Spanish program. I have tried several others and been disappointed with the level of instruction -- some focus primarily on vocabulary, others on writing, for example. This one gives you a sense of the language and, importantly, how it is used in real life. And it is fun. I don't think I am easily manipulated, but I have to say that the point system, "streak" reporting and badges do keep me going.

I like most of the teaching methods, and my favorite is being able to participate in conversations. Exceptions: I don't think the five-question quizzes are particularly effective; there are too few questions and they are extremely easy. I use the flashcards once per lesson (to get credit!), but I think Anki is a much better flashcard service and I use that much more.

With that preamble, here are some suggestions:

* Although the pronunciation checker is pretty amazing, it is still somewhat inaccurate. I get words wrong and it often still scores me 100%, even with the checking level at "Hard". More frustrating is that sometimes it just won't accept my (perfect!) pronunciation no matter what I do.

This program is helping me learn Japanese, along with living in japan right now it is very helpful. It's also a fun language to learn and the lessons will help you along if you mess up on some words or phrases.

Quiere saber mas parabolas espanolas porque estan x muy important.

Soy fatigue ahora entonces I will write in english now. I stopped using this course for a long time, but now I have come back because speaking Spanish is the most important aspect of learning. Tohave a conversation in Spanish is quite tough if you struggle over vocabulary. Of course grammar is also important, but if you have a very limited vocabulary that,s a very big handicap.

I find reading a simple. story in a parallel text book intended for children is a testing exercise but satisfying too.
I’ve read Journey to the Centre of the earth by Jules Verne and Adventures of Tom Sawyer

I've been studying Japanese on and off for 10 years, and also spent 6 of those years living there. I've used nearly every program available, and Rocket Japanese is one of the absolute best there is! It's entertaining and challenging enough to make you look forward to studying and it's structured enough to ensure you know the material before moving on to the next lesson. A perfect balance! Rocket Japanese has got this down!

Overall a very good product, all of the dialogue is clear and of high quality. The reinforcement section is particularly good for practicing what you've learnt. Rocket French is one of the better premium products out there and I recommend it to any serious language learner.

I would like first of all to comment on Bill Landman's review of two days ago. I am not yet up to Level 9 (only at Level 5), but I have had no trouble with pronunciation being recognized thus far, so I jumped ahead to Lesson 9.11 to see if Mr. Landman's remarks would be confirmed. As it turned out, however, I had no trouble at all achieving a 100% rating in pronunciation on everything, with Record Difficulty set to "Hard." Thus, whatever problem Mr. Landman experienced does not seem to be with Rocket Spanish itself. Perhaps his microphone was not clear, or its output level was too low (or something) that day.

I have been very satisfied with Rocket Spanish. Although I'm only on Level 5, I have been using Rocket Spanish for several months (not with great regularity, obviously, or I'd be farther along). I had previously gone through at least 3 different CD courses, one of which I thought was excellent. However, CD courses are not interactive, of course. Nor did even the best one go to as high a level as Rocket Spanish.

RF is a quality program, it's voice recognition best I have seen. there are discounted prices available that make it a good deal. would like to see it continue to develop learning scenarios. still not sure if RF or any other learning method will prepare one to comprehend native speakers in France. next visit will tell

I love this program. The interactive audio courses are amazing! I feel like I am learning so much French and enjoying the process. I will definitely use this program to learn other languages in the future.

The "Dictionary" or Basic form of japanese verbs. The basic form of all japanese verbs ends with "u" . This is the form listed in the Dictionary, and is the informal , present affirmative form of the verb. The form is used among close friends and family in informal situation.

easy lessons. teaches how to pronounce as well as use words and phrases.i would definitely recommend. i have no ability with foreign languages but this program helps me a lot with the record to practice so i see where i need help.
