Rocket Languages Reviews

I am probably an low intermediate and have completed the second level of Spanish and started the third but found it quite a bit harder without a lot of explanations for the grammar or expressions used.

I stopped working on it for now, and have started the Spanish Travelogue instead. . Again it is harder than I hoped with very rapid Spanish and verb tenses I have not yet learned. I would have liked a little more explanations - For example, I appreciated getting a quick response to my question as to why the verb haber was not conjugated in a sentence.

" 'Haber' is not conjugated as it is acting as a modal auxiliary; and when it is followed by a past participle (olvidado) it forms the compound infinitives in the conjugation. It's a compound tense, just like in English. "

But it is still way past my current understanding. I will carry on as I am finding it interesting but I am not sure I am quite ready for this.

Having tried other Japanese learning solutions (Books with audio files and other software solutions), I can say for sure that Rocket Languages has a clear advantage: it is very effective and comprehensive while being user friendly and interactive.

I especially enjoy the Web version, voice recognition and the quality and structure of dialogues which don't make them boring.

I'm currently using Rocket Languages to learn more Chinese. I live in China right now and what I really enjoy about these lessons is that they are immediately applicable. I studied for 30 minutes yesterday and immediately had new vocabulary to use with my Chinese friends. I'm feeling quite positive about this language course.

Rocket Japanese is a comprehensive language course that teaches you how to speak and write Japanese. The conversational section at the end of the lesson puts you in a real conversation situation. There is a real good section on survival kit that will be very practical on my future travel to Japan. The moderators do a great job keeping it light and don't get you stressed out over the learning process. Excellent language learning tool!

I love Rocket Language. I am learning russian, and find this method very helpful and at the same time very easy and fun to use.
I recommend this method to learn russian. I think then I will learn italian.

I just purchased Rocket Spanish Travelogue, and even though I still consider myself in the high beginner stage, I find it incredibly helpful as it is very advanced, and it has given me a little 'trick' to help me study more with less frustration.

I start my Rocket study time spending 15 minutes or more working on the Travelogue series first, attacking the sentences bit by bit, listening and recording them several times, toggling the recording difficulty level until I am satisfied that I can say even ONE of the advanced sentences all the way through.

Then I go back to my regular studies in Rocket Spanish, at the level where I actually belong, and I feel like I am picking up the material much faster and with more ease. The advanced level of Travelogue is hard, but the story is fun and keeps me engaged, so I want to keep working at it. Then my regular level feels like a reward for getting through a few sentences.

This approach may not be for everyone, but I am jazzed at how much it is pushing me along, and I am so glad I purchased it.

Thank you Rocket Team for this awesome addition!

I like the audio and the repetition. I want to be able to hear and understand Spanish, not just read it. That is true of most people that learn a second language. Rocket Spanish puts more emphasis on listening and speaking than Rosetta Stone. The points system is also great because it encourages you to do more each day to earn more points.

I have started studying Egyptian Arabic with Rocket Arabic only 10 days ago. I have made good progress and I love the interactive audio lessons with very good voice recognition functionality. The modules are scaffolded nicely with lots of opportunities for reviewing and practicing. The topics are presented in a friendly, fun way and even the Arabic grammar does not feel too complicated when introduced at this pace. I am confident that I will be able to speak to locals easily, next time I go to Egypt. Thank you Rocket Languages, keep up the good work!

Rocket Hindi is a great help to those who wish to quickly learn the language despite not having much time to devote to the study, what has been learned is extremely helpful in the everyday working life.

So far all of the learned vocabulary has been very relevant. The explanations are very clear and there is are a lot of practice exercises. Out of all of the online Mandarin Chinese language programs I've looked at, I think this one is the best.
