This was a really great and course and explains the meanings of the words thoroughly. However, I find that the sentence structure was not completely thorough enough but other than that this course has helped me understand spanish quite well.
I've been using Rocket Languages for three days now. So far, I've been satisfied. My concern with self-studying was that I didn't have any conversation partner. I wanted to have a conversation partner online but I didn't think that we can have meaningful conversation since I'm only a beginner. However, the interactive audio course helped me out. I can practice a conversation while correcting my pronunciation and accent just based on what I've been studying. Other than the interactive audio course, I'm also pleased with the comprehensiveness of the whole program, from Premium Level 1 to Platinum Level 3. I've browsed and asked customer service about it; I can reach C1 with the whole program. Since my goal was to use Japanese in business, this was a really nice. Looking at the course material from Premium 1 to Platinum Level 3 and based on my 3-day experience, I can definitely reach N3 or maybe even N2/N1 with the program.
1) Great Customer Service: after completing my first lesson, the sound stop! No more sound. It was not my computer because I had sound on everything else than Rocket Italian. I tried the chat and a very nice lady (Marie) helped me. She found the problem very quickly. In no time, I was back to my lessons.
2) Very effective method to learn a foreign language (at least for me!) I love the progression.
3) I find it very useful being able to record my phrase and listen to it after: it helps me improve my accent.
4) Only negative point so far: tooooooooo much English speaking by the guy at the beginning of every lesson. More Italian please!
5) It would help having many different persons talking Italian instead of only two persons. This would be more representative of the real life.
Bottom line: I think that I will be able to learn Italian with Rocket Italian. Would I recommend it to a friend? Mmmm Yes, but with a little hesitation because of the very small sample of Italian voices.
I love Rocket Spanish - I feel like I can speak the language quickly and even received compliments while just on the first few lessons - told someone in Spanish that I was learning and they said that I spoke very well and clear - I'm so excited to continue!
Rocket French is the best of the many French language teaching programs I have had experience with. I had a minimum amount of French training in high school and college just to meet the language requirement for my chosen field. Language learning at the time consisted of textbook, classroom and language laboratory exercises. For me this was torture as it took away from the time I could devote to the science and mathematics I needed to concentrate on to pursue a career in medicine. I am now retired but I have been involved with teaching students in other fields of education. Three years ago I decided to learn French. As I see it, the availability of computerized language programs of different varieties with voice recognition software has been a tremendous advance in language learning. I began with Rosetta Stone and enjoyed the experience and found it to be very helpful and I am happy that I had that experience. I also spent three weeks in France at an immersion school. I subscribe to Yabla which for a conscientious person can simulate an immersion experience in France. I enrolled in News in Slow French and look forward to their weekly output. Of course I also bought a book on French grammar and studied that.
the excercises are less,even too simple. Every single charpter is well,like order menu,book room,Say,the price is satisfing each one,and I hope it can open to everyone for free,that's exciting, or make some easy games or Words Puzzle; whatever it like , it make learner more keen to learning, and make a better memory,learn all word and prase by heart.
There is absolutely nothing I can say that would make my Rocket Languages experience any better. In terms of their content quality and organization, the lessons are top notch and sequenced fluidly and logically. As for the learning tools, the amount of application and immersive learning you experience from you very first lesson is unparalleled.
If I were to make any requests, it would be for the mobile app to have all of the functionality of the browser portal so that you can take your complete learning experience with you on the go. So far the only thing that is lacking are the flash cards, but I feel like that would be the best function to have available on your phone since it's the easiest review activity to do on the go.
All in all, 5/5, would buy again, would recommend, and would gift to a language loving friend!
I have been enjoying my Rocket Languages courses. They are a good blend of grammar, vocabulary, and speaking. In my opinion unless one tries to speak the language they are trying to learn not much progress will be made. This in my opinion is where Rocket Language courses shine! My goal is to be able to understand and to be able to speak German and French in a year. With Rocket Language courses I think this is possible!
I am only on day 9 of RF, but my experience thus far has been excellent. I have been trying to teach myself French with various books and programs over the past few years, and I haven't always been terribly disciplined up until about a year ago. Like many, speaking is my greatest hurdle. I am enjoying the record and playback features, and comparing my voice with the pre-recorded sentences until I get it right. Explanations are clear and helpful. Customer support is also excellent - questions are answered quickly. Thanks, Rocket French!
I began studying German 2 years ago, going from the online course Linq to Michel Thomas' CDs (Total and Perfect courses), and now have come to Rocket German. These other courses offered a very good foundation, but I now look forward to quickly acquiring more of a spontaneous, conversational facility with the language. I'd strongly recommend Rocket courses to others.
