Rocket Languages Reviews

Mauricio tiene una excelente prononciacion. El habla suficiente despacio para bien asimilar las palabras y frases...Pero el acento de Amy es muy americana y marcada...Me imagino muy amigable, pero a la vez, tambien hay personas en su alrededor que hablan perfectamente su idioma.
En las lecciones 1,5 etc....hay varias faltas....ei Dr en soya ¿¿¿¿ Tambien en el sistema de audio, hay dificultades pues una vez que se registra el audio salen mal las frases siguientes...
Suerte

I love the all round tuition of Rocket - listening, speaking and writing. It gives me a much better comprehension than previous courses tried which were mostly just about listening and repeating. Have not had any problems with the microphone or play back.

I've tried rosetta stone, duolingo, memrise, etc, and none have even come close to the comprehensive experience rocket languages has provided me with. It blows my mind that I leave the audio lessons with a sense of confidence that I accurately remembered everyword that Kenny and Sayaka had us repeat. Really well done.

Cheers!

The program--either on desktop or tablet, often does not record my voice, and thus does not record portions of lessons. This is not getting better. Until Rocked Languages can improve its server, I'd advise avoiding the program.

Having some familiarity with Spanish, I appreciate the conversational approach to learning vs simple memorization of vocabulary words. I'll be interested to see how this enhances my retention. So far, so good!

(Japanese, Level 1 review) Methodically located somewhere between Pimsleur, YesJapan/Japanese From Zero and Japanesepod101, Rocket Japanese provides a strong, content-rich guided learning experience that can serve as a backbone to any serious self-learning effort. Of all the programs I have tried (including Rosetta Stone, Textfugu, WaniKani, Living Language, the Genki textbooks and those mentioned above), this is certainly the most comprehensive and challenging from the start.
Conversation exercises, which are at the core of the program, are very well executed and the speech recognition system ensures that there is a degree of accountability here. For auditive learners such as myself, these work just as well if not better than Pimsleur, which is an old but effective way to memorize phrases and gain some initial conversational skills.
The main weakness of Rocket Japanese comes in the lack of a spaced repetition system. I STRONGLY advise learners to use an external flashcard software (such as Anki) or analogue flashcards for their vocab learning. Since actually creating flashcards is in itself good practice, however, I wouldn't deduct any points for this given the overall strong showing on display.

Even though I am retired, I still find it very easy to learn Spanish with Rocket. My wife and I are preparing for a trip to South America. This course is wonderful. I love all the different ways that are available to study the language. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

The lessons have so many different aspects to them! Starting the first module, I thought it would take forever to get the basics down. But after doing every quiz and flashcard, pronouncing for the microphone every phrase, and even doing the writing portions, I realized how much I was learning in just one lesson. It takes time, dedication, hard work, and persistence. But if you're trying to learn another language, you shouldn't be surprised. The lessons are all-encompassing, helpful, and informative. Also, even just the weekly blogs on studying or learning a language are helpful because they can tell you what to do outside of the lessons to help you learn. This site isn't here to make you memorize. It's here to help you learn.

It's really useful, if you are motivated, that's the best online programme i have ever done. I am doing level one and when i finish i intend to keep up with level 2 and 3!

I like the fact that you have to speak, listen, writte, do real conversation and the audios for the lessons are very good, you don't get bored doing it which is very important!

Rocket Japanese is super easy to use, and I would say that I learned better with Rocket Japanese than I ever did with Rosetta Stone. It is super easy to follow the instructions, and the leaderboard they have really appeals to my competitive side.
