Rocket Languages Reviews

Having got to the end of my tree in Duolingo, I was looking for something more structured that could take me to the next level. Stumbled across Rocket Languages on the internet and decided to take a chance on the free trial to see what it was like.

Overall impressions so far are very good - the course is much more in depth, and uses real people to deliver the lessons and caters for different learning styles. The points/badges system is useful for keeping up motivation, the the weekly "Rocket Fuel" emails are tailored to here you are in the course. While more expensive than Duo (i.e. not free!), I have so far found it to be very helpful - and have jumped in to the paid for version with both feet. Despite having a fairly good knowledge of some words though Duo, I have found that even in Module 1 of Rocket I am learning things that I simply haven't covered previously.

For me, the existence of an iOS app is also a key selling point, as I am rarely in front of a computer with a microphone (which is critically important if you want your attempts at speaking rated). This also lets you get in a bit of studying whenever and wherever you want. I do think that the app still needs a little more attention, but is good enough for now and I have been impressed with some fairly rapid responses from the support team.

In summary - I personally would recommend Rocket Languages, and I hope to stick with it for a long time to come!

I have been studying Japanese on and off for a couple of years, this is because i get too busy and reading a book takes a lot of effort and becomes boring when you do not know much of what you are reading and there is no one to tell you if you are doing the right thing or if you are even pronounce it correctly. This course is amazing in the way that it is very interactive and I feel like everyday I go on it I am learning something new and useful that I can add to my vocab. I love how the score system works and the fact that there is a leader board that lets you know how you have done that day compared to everyone else. I am a highly competitive person and I feel like this allows you to push yourself further to try and get number one in that leader board. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning a language, it is worth it as long as you will put in the time to study and stay consistent. Hope you guys enjoy it.

I like this because know I can watch a Chinese drama and not having to worry about it having English subtitles. I also like the Korean rocket Korea, I would recommend this to a friend if I had one who was interested in Korean or Chinese.

Like many people I've tried to learn another language, in my case Dutch but didn't keep it up, in part due to the style of teaching used by my chosen 'popular' learning course.

What I like about Rocket is that everything is based around conversations which at whatever level you reach is crucial. I also like the multiple testing methods which hopefully will make things stick permanently! Finally the inclusion of the cultural pointers is very good and I'm sure it's a big part of your completeness as a speaker of your chosen language.

Omg i think it is a fun educational online services that helps us when we need help . If I were to choose different online services even if it ment the end of the world I still choose rocket languages mwaa to the creators and users of this online service

This is my first foray into online language courses. Rocket French came highly recommended and I have to agree, it is well constructed, easy to follow, has excellent use of repetition to solidify my learning without getting repetitive and is just plain fun! The vocabulary is broad and practical and I can see myself in France drawing on specific lessons in specific settings. They introduce verbs much more organically so that it does not feel like rote memorization of verb tenses as it did back in high school Spanish class. I would love to take a non romance language to see if it is as easy to learn as French seems to be. If I do it will be with Rocket Languages

I am loving this course so far! I have only just started but am remembering so much and I love the voice recognition. I had been learning German in a classroom setting for about three years but had to give it up over a year ago as it was getting too expensive. Even though I have a little (ein bisschen) understanding of the language, the first few chapters of the module have been great revision and I am learning things I had forgotten. The price is great (especially as I got the new year discount) and the fact that I get unlimited access is amazing - much cheaper than classroom lessons and I can do as much or as little as I want, when I want. So glad I found Rocket Languages.

i seem to be getting addicted to this tool. to an extent where i could comfortably spend hours at a stretch with no complain. going back to the lesson completed is again a new experience and listening to the audios do help in recapturing certain pronunciations which was missed earlier. loving every moment. don't even miss watching TV.

This is great. I have finished the first chapter and just started the second. The course moves at a good pace and I like how interactive it is and how it can record you speaking. The grammar and culture sections are brilliant and really help to instill the language learnt in the interactive lessons. I also like to understand how sentences are constructed as I find it hard to remember phrases without understanding them fully. I think these will also help me string sentences together from other vocabulary learnt later in the course. I am also relieved that the start of the second module is easier than the end of the first as I started to think I might have to slow down my pace but not so. Very fun lessons to do and easy to pick up at any time so I am more likely to stick at this than scheduled lessons.

Rocket Languages is a very helpful tool in learning new language. I so much love the program(Writing, Speaking and the interactive tool). No regrets on purchasing this product. Would highly recommend this to my friends. Merci! ;)
