Rocket Languages Reviews

I've purchased Rocket German Levels 1 and 2 (and previously trialed Rocket French) and it's been great so far. It's much more practical for someone planning to travel to another country, especially when compared to other language learning programs like DuoLingo. The phrases they teach are ones you might actually use when traveling, and they teach the formal conjugations instead of informal (because when would you really use the informal "du" when traveling?). Starting from scratch would likely require you to really dig into the supporting materials (not just the audio courses), but the audio courses alone are worth the price if you have a basic understanding of the language. They are entertaining, move along relatively quickly but reinforce the learning via repetition. The price is very fair when compared to similar programs. Overall, very happy with my purchase!

My family and I are currently in Mexico and are working on learning Spanish. Since this program starts with useful phrases, like how to ask for help or how to order coffee, it has been much more helpful than something like the popular owl-themed language app. (Why do so many programs want to teach me to talk about elephants? Not helpful!) Rocket Spanish also uses the type of Spanish that is actually spoken, unlike the Spanish I learned in high school, and the audio is a native speaker, not a computer-generated voice. My twelve year old daughter and I both like it, and the price is reasonable. A video element would be nice, but focusing on listening and speaking is fine considering the reasonable price and useful Spanish. This seems like a good first step before moving on to teachers online or in-person lessons, and we are already getting to use what we learn in daily life here.

Rocket Language is amazing it really helped me with my french in class! Cannot believe how easy the interface is easy to use! Thank you so much! Amazing. wonderful. the best. do not have enough words to tell you how amazing it is!

I would like to see information on Korean numbers, both native Korean and sino-Korean, and when it is proper to use each one. I've lived in the ROK twice and always used native Korean numbers for everything. I did not realize there was a second set of numbers.

I like the fact that there are native speakers who take time to go through the language for easier understanding and comprehension. The lessons so far are quite generous in the amount of time given and allow you to replay and download if you need to do that.

I speak for Rocket Japanese:

Price is fair, if you buy on sale. Still not cheap, but fair. I have learned a lot from Rocket Japanese. I mainly use the audio lessons. They are awesome. They are kept fun, but still are very challenging. I replay them at least once (but usually 3 to 4 times). The quizzes on the site are good too and do help me to remember. The site works good and is fast. I do not use the apps.

There are flaws, but i consider them as minor. The biggest one is that audio quality is not top notch. Don`t get me wrong: It is alright, but it could be better. A short audio file with just the vocab of the lesson (for every lesson) would be awesome too. But maybe that will come someday. Sometimes, i feel like the audio lessons are too challenging. But better this way than the other way around.

The biggest pro that speaks for Rocket Japanese is that i can use it anywhere. You can download all audio lessons, and use them on a normal mp3-player (no drm whatsoever). This is very important to me.

I am kind of an japanese learning addict and i prefer Rocket Languages over Pimsleur (you do learn a lot of vocabulary of it, but it does get boring). Rosetta Stone is good as a vocab trainer, but i prefer to have explanations.

I am currently learning Italian. I didn't hold on to the beautiful language growing up and have to start from fresh. But Rocket Langauge is so user friendly and makes for a great learning experience. I will be able to speak the language of my familia in no time.
Thanks Rocket Italain.

I signed up over 5 years ago and every time I have had any issues or just a simple question they have always been there. The lessons are spot on and learning Spanish, is Rocket fast!

Keep up the great customer service, Johnny B

I really enjoy the dialogue in the beginning and the review helps a lot! The activity I feel helps me is getting involved with the dialogue and I can hear myself talk with the partner. I wish Rocket Language had a study guide or book to go along when I go out so I can review while traveling when there is no internet. Otherwise, love this program!

I use the audio lessons most. Haven't ever down loaded the documents. Too huge. Wish it was in book form and came with the program. I would have paid a little extra for that option I also like the girl. It is easier to understand her when she speaks spanish as she is not as fast as the native speakers.
