Rocket Languages Reviews

I cannot get the microphone to work in any way. On my phone the app skips and cannot capture my voice properly. ON desktop it doesn't even record always saying "Try again".

I demand a refund unless I can find a fix. I started using this program because I heard the program is very good. Little did I realize the app would be a huge POS.

Do not use this unless you want a terrible experience. Use a more established language learning application like Duolingo or Rosetta Stone.

The Arabic course is unique in that it teaches colloquial Arabic which is more likely to be understood by the average person. I personally am using it to increase my vocabulary to supplement my MBA and classical Arabic usage. So overall the course is great and would be 5 star if the mobile app worked regularly. If they can fix that and keep it working regularly I will gladly update my review.

I love the user friendliness of the course. It is exciting, interesting and makes me want to learn. The native speakers are fun loving and truly awesome. I have every thing I need to become fluent in a short space of time. I love the testing and the grading system. The ability to test my speaking skills using the microphone is also a blessing in disguise. It boosts my morale and makes me want to learn all the languages offered.

I tried learning French using a CD set and books, but found the process slow and inflexible. With RF, I am able to vary the pace of learning and really focus on pronunciation. I also like the different forms of learning offered and the mix between conversational French and grammar. Well done on a great product!

Please can you let me know how I can use the keyboard in the "Write It" section? I am able to type some of the accents, but others are less obvious? Perhaps there are keystroke sequences that I need to learn?

Kind Regards

It is a horribly frustrating program. I have yet been able to download it. Only two lessons in two modules have been downloaded. To be fair one of the chat support people told me to call and she would guide me through the download, but I am tired of playing with the program and haven't called. After the download to the computer I have to download them to CDs. Oh help!

The way it explains the language is very nice for a beginning student. The conversations are nicely spelled out and the speaking of the people is easily understood. The conversations are also spoken slowly so it is easy to understand and it isn't overwhelming. My daughter enjoys the application and hopes it will help her in french class this year in school.

In high school I took Japanese, in college Russian and Chinese, but that was a long time ago. I needed a refresher. I tried other companies' courses, but especially for Mandarin, Rocket is by far the best. Its competitors either go too fast, go too slow, or are simply inadequate. Rocket courses have just the right balance between depth and ease of learning. They also provide plenty of extra learning tools that I'm still exploring, such as flash cards.

After buying the Mandarin course and working with it for a couple of days, I was so impressed that I bought both the Japanese and Russian courses to do after my Mandarin review.

I gave four instead of five stars to "buy again" only because Rocket doesn't currently offer anything else I need. If the company added levels to Russian and Chinese, or offered a Modern Hebrew course, I'd buy those.

So far I enjoy rocket French and am learning at a nice pace and am happy with my progress. The audio tracks are fun and informative and I enjoy the testing style. I also just discovered the flash cards on the online site. I am using the IOS app and that is not available, so I'm happy to find it here online ! I would recommend this product.

Really do like the flashcards and the testing methodology for Rocket French...everyone needs to know about this great product...the price is very fair...would like to see a Rocket French level 4 with discussions/dialogues on the EU, foreign immigration, lots on economic subjects, geopolitical, anatomy and physiology of the human body...so far, very impressed with this course...thanks, Rocket French!!!!

Very helpful. I am part Chinese and I like being competitive. I like how you can move up through the ranks. I want to travel the world so this program can help me speak to others. I am starting the Advanced Learning technique.
