Rocket's multimodal learning formula works very well: listen, respond orally, respond in writing, translate both ways. This really hammers the language into your cortex via all channels. The voice recognition software, while not always perfect, is a remarkably useful feature. The help desk, finally, responds courteously to my comments.

My only wish is that the Rocket Italian team might themselves work very slowly and carefully through the whole course, seeking every occasion where a question and its corresponding answer does not match, and in general where the question is not sufficiently defined (number, gender etc.) to point unambiguously at the answer expected by the software. None of these glitches greatly reduces the effectiveness of the course, but their frequent occurrence is irritating and, to that extent, distracting.

Your subscribers could alert you to these glitches if a 'report problem' was attached to every event, not just some, where the subscriber must speak, write or press a button.

Response from Rocket Languages

Thanks for your thoughtful review. We will be fully reviewing Rocket Italian in the next 2-3 months, and will pick up any ambiguous phrasing at that stage.

I've used several of the other "top" programs, however, Rocket Spanish is by far above and beyond any of them. Consider Rocket Languages as immersion and lessons combined...doesn't get any better.

I got a great deal on Rocket Spanish and I LOVE the program. This is by far the most helpful language course I have seen. I took four years of Spanish in high school and two in college, but I would argue that this is much more effective than my courses in high school or college.

Response from Rocket Languages

All reviews are genuine. The only ones we don't publish are ones that are offensive, and/or are not actual reviews. And with this one it's arguable :)

I am really enjoying it. I feel like I am having those 'aha moments' which I never got taking french in school. The way this is presented makes far more sense that the classroom teaching that I experienced in Quebec. We knew how to say we were opening the door, window, talk about the weather, ask "what time it is", my name is and ask to go to the bathroom.

I am a bit competitive. I like pushing myself against others. Just having my own score is fairly meaningless to me as I do not really know what it means. I like moving up the leaderboard and it keeps me going.

I would like to be able to correct my written mistakes in real-time rather than redo the exercise. I would redo anyway I just like making the corrections as I am visual and I keep redoing the same mistakes over and over when I cannot correct.

I will be purchasing. I am doing the seven-day trial. I want to complete it first then I will buy. One thing that I believe that most of us think about when making the decision to purchase the online course (at least I do) is... will I really keep at it? That is why I am pushing through the seven days.

I did a bit of the trial for German, and then bought all 3 levels because of the deal. Well worth the money for the week I've used it so far. I've been wanting to learn German, but the uni classes didn't stick, so here I am! I like that it jumps into using the language in natural conversation. Instead of starting off with memorizing verbs and their forms all at once, we are simply learning what we would be using at first when meeting others. I'm also very happy with the amount of audio, and that I can go back and repeat things as much as I like. I also like the rankings and points system, as I'm competitive and this motivates me to do more when I look at that sidebar. The only drawbacks of this program are the lack of forum use (communication between students) and lack of direct feedback from a teacher or native speaker, but I have English-fluent German friends, so I'm ok in that department! The voice recognition is also a bit iffy sometimes, but I honestly plan to hone my pronunciation with my friends if I don't pick up the accent from the program. This program is a perfect fit for me.

I'm learning German with Rocket Language and thinks this is the closest experience to a classroom environment. The lessons plans are made with systematic planning and lots of love. I will purchase their package for all the other languages, because they are fun and make my polyglot dream come true.
