Rocket Languages Reviews

Still learning about how to use the app. It seems to work well on my Android phone, and voice recognition does not work on my iPad. I wish I could explore more alternate words and phrases that seem commonly used...according toSpanish speakers I attempt to engage.

How satisfied are you with your Rocket Languages experience? I've had it for a week now and so far it is pretty good as a refresher. The various learning elements are long but it forces re-learning the material. The voice part leaves a bit to be desired as it doesn't always recognize what I am saying even though I know I am pronouncing correctly. I don't like that the Spanish for "I" is pronounced with the English "J" sound. I am used to the Spanish spoken by Mexicans. Other than that the pronunciation seems to be pretty good overall.

How likely are you to buy again? Yes, I would buy it again.

Are you happy with the price? Yes, I am happy with the price. Very reasonable for both level 2 and 3.

Would you recommend Rocket Spanish to a friend? Yes, I would buy it again.

How was the Customer Service? Haven't had to use Customer Service. Therefore, I rated 5 stars pending contacting them.

I believe that the Rocket Languages Italian course is very useful and helps to obtain a basic level of understanding rapidly. I think that it is more efficient compared with now obsolete CD and audiotape courses that I have taken. It could be improved by adding a visual component, such as pictures of objects and foods that are mentioned.

Love everything so far, but I’ve noticed that you are changing the voice actors with the audio files. In my opinion, I’d prefer the original combination of the English Kenny and the ‘Osaka’ kansai-jin Sayaka...especially Sayaka, whose accent, in both nihongo-ga and eigo-ga is very helpful in terms of realistic Japanese phonetics. The new Sayaka is less ‘endearing’ and the new Kenny-san has perhaps a too refined Kanto-style accent.

I love this site. The setup and option to choose difficulty is brilliant. I especially love how rocketlanguage breaks everything down. I would definitely get this if it wasn’t so expensive. I would rather buy Rosetta stone for a lot less.

I especially like the dialogue format, dismantling its parts, then putting all together. It is helping fix phrases in my mind that I used to have to piece together mechanically. I am hoping that this will lead to more fluid conversational skill. This is going beyond simple listening comprehension.

Great lessons, which bring you in at a manageable rate. I like the way flash card reviews are included with spaced repetition.
Letters that are not in English are usefully emphasised.
I would like some explicit grammar and better writing lessons.

My rating for the price is for me personally. I am flat broke and it is nearly $Aus150 in Australia. If I wasn't desperate to learn, I wouldn't have bought it.

Rocket Italian has been super helpful for me. My boyfriend is Italian and this course allowed me to communicate in his native country with his family. There are some glitches such as sensitivity with the hear it, say it part of the course, and a bug with the certification, but they are really good about fixing things.

This is the most helpful app and course I've tried among all the other apps. The only glitch I found is the hear it, say it part where it does not recognize some of my inputs but overall, the app is great.

The training is very good with practical everyday phrases to learn and repeat whenever I have the time.
The voice recognition in the "hear it, say it" becomes either deaf or impaired of hearing even though the answers are correct, as the software refuses to recognise my pronunciation.
