Rocket Languages Reviews

I am enjoying the lessons so far but is a bit difficult to understand why the same word has different translations. Specifically "Hajime mashite". It is a bit off-putting. The rating on customer service can be ignored, I have not had the need to contact them. I am happy with the price but mainly because I got it at a 60% discount. Not sure I would have bought it otherwise. I also wish that there was a notification in the app that the voice recognition is much better on PC. I found that on the app it didn't recognize a difference with me ending in "masu" or "mashita" even though it wanted the latter.

Rocket Russian is a superb resource. The audio lessons provide opportunities for listening, speaking, and getting a grasp on a multitude of phrases, while other tools offer help in writing and grammar. This wide selection of tools allows for one to exercise different aspects of learning a language. Rocket Languages is an invaluable tool for anyone just starting out or wanting to learn a language.

Rocket Hindi is my favourite language learning method after reading actual books, which give me much more in depth understanding of grammar.
My fault with it is the use of the inherent vowel at the end of the English (romanised) tranliteration of words and where it’s not pronounced in the middle of some words. It’s a massive let down to the service and gets in the way of every session. The inherent ‘a’ vowel is only pronounced in Sanskrit. So for example the word namaskar, which almost everywhere else is transliterated as namaskar, on Rocket Hindi it’s written namaskara. Your brain is already spending a lot of effort learning new worlds, sounds, spellings, associations. To have to them sift out this ‘a’ all the time is exasperating.
They could simply write something about the inherent vowel at the start of the course. I mean it’s an English Transliteration not the actual spelling anyway. It’s meant to sound how the word is pronounced.
Every time I come across a word while I’m listening to the audio at the same time and it doesn’t match the audio I get a moment of confusion. I have to look hard at the word to see why it’s pronounced differently, if it is the inherent vowel or something else.

I've used Rocket before for another language. I'm very happy with it. Some things annoy me, for example, mistakes. Just in the first dialog, we are told that "Uno, due, tre" rhymes with "quattro , cinque, sei". But this almost undoes the lesson about pronunciation since 'tre' ends on a pure vowel 'e' and 'sei' ends on a diphthong 'ei'. They don't rhyme. Apart from the mistakes (and I'm hoping there aren't as many as the last time I used this program), I think it's one of the best available. And I do tend to be fussy.

Rocket Japanese is awesome!! I just Love it!
After a few times, I have been starting to understand phases and remember them so easy. Write it! and Play it! are my favorite activities.

I am happy with the price. It Is very reasonable.

Would you recommend Rocket Japanese to a friend? Of course, I will recommended it to a friend.

I started the course 6 days ago, and I have to say I do like it. Unlike modern techniques "learn-a language-the way-children-do", which is definitely not my cup of tea, here there are clear explanations provided in enjoyable conversations - just what I need. Each audio lasts approx. 30 min - not too long and not too short - I suppose that is the right time to process information without becoming tired of it.
What I like the most about the course is the way it's constructed. You just listen to the audio, repeat phrases, checking your pronunciation, and do exercises, all of which help you memorise new information. I already feel confident pronouncing basic but extremely useful phrases in French! I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND the course to my friends!

Very good program. Having technical difficulties, however, therefore I am unable to use it correctly.

Could I get a refund.

There are many many good lessons. I like it basically but due to technical difficulties I am not able to use it as it was intended

SO AWESOME!!! would ABSOLUTELY recommend to friends and family (and just about everyone)!! Is quite expensive (the owners are probably really stretching the price from what it needs to be) but honestly it's worth it!! FOR SURE would recomment- its worth the price because its like textbooks and training and homework and a teacher and a tutor all in one!!! Absolutely a must-have if you're starting a new language (or struggling with one you're trying to learn).

Love the courses I bought! I have made so much progress in learning Japanese. Would recommend this to anyone trying to learn a new language. Listen to my courses on my walks in the park or even walking to work. It's amazing!

Big fan of the product, especially the multi-device experience. The application does a nice job of staying in sync, so I can switch over to my mobile when on the go in any spare time and continue my learning.

The feedback loop (recording, confirming, listening) has prove very helpful with my pronunciation. This is especially important for me as my wife and her church are all Native Russian Speakers.
