Learning Italian through Rocket Languages has been a breeze compared to other methods I have tried so far. The possibility of actually speaking the language, participate in a conversation, write the words and sentences is a perfect mix. In my own pace I can make myself acquainted with new words and sentences and if necessary repeat exercises until I'm completely familiar with them. In addition, the theory provides more (relevant) insight on how to use the language. It's been great so far! I'm looking forward to new languages being developed by Rocket Languages.
One point for improvement could be that upfront the order of the different lessons would be explained a bit more. Now, I started with 1.1 to 1.5 and then went on with 1.6 to 1.9, only to find out that 1.1 correspondents with 1.5 and 1.2 with 1.6 and so on. So for logical reasons its better to alternate between the two sections.
I have contacted the customer service of Rocket Languages once, and they were rapid and supportive in their response helping me with the inquiry I had. Such interaction strengthens the confidence that any questions in the future will be resolved quickly and adequately. I'm moving quite fast through the first module of Italian and am definitely considering to buy module 2 and 3 later on.
I’m very impressed by the ease of presentation, the many tools available for listening, reading, and writing the language, and the useful conversational vocabulary. I have studied several other languages but none have been so enoyable as the Spanish Rocket course I am taking. I will be well prepared for my trip to Spain next summer.
I am truly enjoying this language learning program. I like that the audio lessons involve you and make you come up with the answers on your own before supplying them to you. I feel that this is really helpful because that is the hardest part for me when speaking Spanish. I am starting to be able to understand spoken conversation better, but have a hard time coming up with the words myself. I feel very inadequate at times because I say Si a lot and not much else at this point. But, I know that progress takes time and reviewing the flash cards every day really helps and I like that you can put them into categories of hard, good and easy and then you can just review the hard ones. I like that you can measure your progress along the way, I like the scoreboard that keeps things interesting and you can see how you compare to other learners. I really like everything about this course. Living abroad in Panama is definitely helpful because I hear spoken Spanish on the daily, but I believe that with a lot of effort this course would also be great for people that don't have as much exposure. There are so many ways to get that elsewhere through music or TV shows. Netflix has so many shows that have Spanish subtitles. Anyway, I highly encourage everyone to get this course! Oh, and I also use Rosetta Stone. I like the combination of the two programs, but if I could only get one I would purchase this one over Rosetta.
Rocket Japanese is really helping me learn. I've been around Japanese martial arts most of my life and always wanted to communicate in Japanese with some of our visiting instructors. I'm not quite ready yet, but I am definitely headed that way, thanks to your program. And, I've started a Trip to Japan coin can. Tokyo by 2020!!
I've used many language learning courses, and have found this one to be particularly impressive. I think the writing aspect of new vocabulary is vital, and something that tends to be overlooked by other methods; the ease of revision is also a major point in its favour, through flashcards, repeating activities already done, and so on. I've been using this for French, and would certainly consider purchasing a package for another language. The free trial was also a great way of allowing me to make up my mind before investing in the course. I'd certainly recommend this to anyone else seeking an effective way of starting a language.
Well designed course that combines visual, audio, written, quizzes, flash cards and reminders along with a little humour. It's a very well designed program.
The online computer version has an advantage. It records your spoken phrases so you can play them back to compare pronunciation with the native speaker. This is great! The iPhone version lacks that feature. It grades your spoken response but you can't hear your spoken response.
Overall, I'm very impressed with the educational design and the usefulness of Rocket Chinese. Very well done! I used both the computer and my iPhone for practice. I like both versions. It's the best language learning course I've seen, by far.
The guy, Alex, in the Italian course comes across as a somewhat of a douche. He tries to be funny by pretending to flirt with the co host, Maria, but it just feels awkward. It might just be me, but I would prefer if they just sticked to the language material.
I just started Spanish and this product is superior to all other Language programs. I will be using their programs for learning other languages as well! I feel more comfortable learning with Rocket Language
Just completed the introductory course in Rocket Arabic and it was very approachable. Arabic has a reputation for high difficulty but the way the information was presented in the lesson kept the experience from feeling overwhelming. I am looking forward to my second lesson after I practice the first a few times more.
I had a trial and bought 3 level courses all together straight way. It’s the best learning experience so far, better than the evening class I attended 8 years ago. Leaderboard points system, Voice recognition and reinforcement tasks make learning more fun and efficient. It works well for my lifestyle as I work full time.
I have used it for 11 days and I am very pleased with my progress so far. Thank you!
I am aiming to finish level1 by the end of the year. I will update my progress after that. Good luck everyone!
