Rocket Languages Reviews

Although I like the system employed, and it is certainly better than the so called market leader, there are some elements which could be improved.

The most frustrating thing for me is the translation facility which is sooooooo slow. How much better it would be if the translation could be downloaded somehow instead of relying on a live connection.

The other obvious point is that it is not possible to use Rocket Language if there is no internet connection

The voice narrator needs to be replaced, she is too monotone. Lessons should still to an extent reteach verb forms or grammar rules they have mentioned before, instead of telling the audience to refer to an obscure moment in a previous audio session. Besides that, the course is helpful.

I am enjoying this learning system. It gets right down to business and I like that.

I’ve tried one other Italian course and could repeat the sound ok only to learn later that how it came out wasn’t accurate. Seeing then writing really helps. Unfortunately I’ve just started rocket and timing hasn’t been good. I’m looking forward to soon having more free time to actually devote to this. So this request for a review came pretty early.

I like this program a great deal. It's very well structured and pragmatic. My only true complaint is the voice recognition software. I live in France and if most of the French can understand me then why doesn't the program recognize my voice?

Good impression, but I am only at lesson 1. I need some more time to comment more accurately and in a more qualified manner. I am using in parallel some other programmes and apps to learn Japanese. However, to have with Rocket the possibility to check my pronunciation and to be obliged to say some sentences is certainly a plus.

The trial version of the spanish speaking is very educative and easy to understand. This can help many students who have travelled to spanish speaking countries from abroad to study . I wished many students in the billingual fields of study could know about Rocket languages.

I wish there was a way to make the pronunciations slower. To enunciate each syllable or sound. The narrator goes so fast sometimes I am unable to pick up the sounds.
Other than that, for me this works great. Now just figure out a way to make me find the time to use it.

Audio lessons are a great tool to practice speaking aloud.
It would be great to have audio with the option of slow motion when listening.
Thanks for providing such a great application!!
I have already learnt so much.

The Audio lessons are a great way to learn, the dialogues are very well done. And the voice recognition technology, while it needs some tweaks still, really helps practising to say difficult sounds and get the rhythm down.

Unfortunately, there are all kinds of mistakes in the Hindi lessons: inconsistent transcriptions, sentences attributed to a different translation, etc. This is something a good proofread could clear up, best by a native speaker, but even a non-native learner could help there. (Just ask if you need advice, i have some ideas.)

Finally, while it seems clear that formal grammar is not a priority (that's a fine choice), it should be reviewed by someone who understands grammar to avoid obvious errors that could lead to roadblocks once a learner eventually needs to take on the formal grammar points.

A completely worthwhile purchase overall! Bravo!
