Rocket Languages Reviews

So far so good. I've only been doing it for 4 days. But it seems thorough, and is more fast-moving than some other apps. Plenty of vocab and grammar. I find some of the chattiness in English in the dialogues tiresome, though, and I wonder why the American guy, Alex, is not a native speaker. Even I can tell he has an accent. Still, it seems to work pretty well.

The good about this program is it is very very targeted towards your listening and speaking. And you will notice your vocabulary and ease of vocal communication improving daily if you put the time in.

The bad news is you need an iron will to push yourself through it because it is SO BORING you'll seriously have a hard time staying awake.

If you can deal with listening, repeating out loud, listening, repeating out loud over and over and over and over again you will learn spanish from this course.

Only 1/2 of the lessons are audio lessons. the lessons that go more deeply into the grammar are all reading and self taught essentially which is VERY disappointing and certainly takes away from the overall value of the course.

So essentially, you teach yourself grammar, the course gives you vocabulary and go get yourself a prescription for methamphetamines so you can stay awake to get the lessons done.

I have tried literally every learning method under the son for learning spanish, I give this course overall 3/5. Effective material, but almost unbearably boring and not worth the full price.

very good courses, enjoying them a lot, learned very much

The best platform out there to learn languages. I tried many, different styles, different methods.

Moving to an other country, Rocket Chinese has been a excellent addition to talking to locals.

NOTE FOR VOICE RECOG. ISSUES : The voice recog. works just fine BUT, if you have any problem getting it to start on your phone when using the app, you need to install the Google package for speech recog. but you ALSO NEED "Speech Recognition & Synthesis" plug-in (by Google LLC). If you phone is still not authorizing it (for example mainland China phones or certain OS), go back to the Google Play page and make a search as if you wanted to speak STT. It will prompt you to allow speech recog. to operate on your apps.

Да I like it because it is very important to learn russian

I purchased this course the last weekend and it´s very amazing and confortable. I´m studying chinese with chinese zero to hero, and i decided to combine with rocket chinese, the part of the speaking and listening. It´s very grateful this two methods.

Very good course. I like the mix of audio lessons and then the apps to practice. Better than the other apps I have been using.

Rocket Languages is very good for speaking learner

I've only just started using Rocket Spanish, but I really appreciate the different learning styles it addresses, including speaking, writing, listening, and interacting. It seems to be a very thorough and effective program.

I have been practicing Italian using several methods for about a year, including Duolingo max, Coffee Break Italian Podcast, YouTube videos, and chatGPT. I've learned quite a bit, but I was looking for an additional resource to really ramp up my practice in speaking and pronouncing words. I was drawn to Rocket for its reputation for speaking practice, and so far, I'm really impressed. Some of the other tools I use include speaking practice, but this app really takes it to the next level by having you practice every phrase, record it, and scoring it.

Duolingo will have me translate an Italian word or phrase into English, but I always have a word bank to choose from, which allows me to deduce the answer rather than remember it. I like that part of my lesson in Rocket requires me to translate to Italian without a hint, which forces me to try harder to remember it. I also really like that I can record my own voice and play it back, so that I can compare it to the way the teacher pronounces words.

Like the podcast I listen to, these lessons have a teacher and a native speaker who explains cultural nuances, common mistakes, etc. And this really helps draw attention to areas that deserve special focus during practice.
