I was both very pleased and surprised with Rocket Languages. Never has learning a language felt so effortless. The combination of many different learning styles is very helpful, and really helps immerse yourself in the language and experience. The voice recognition algorithm is a great learning tool, and really makes me feel like I am being taught by an instructor. This fully interactive learning experience is great for teaching the language, and keeping your recall and memory of what you’ve learn sharp. I would highly recommend to friends and family over competition companies like Rosetta Stone. Each Unit is a very personalized and useful audio lesson, where you take part in the experience from start to finish. Then you are not only told vocabulary but encourage to rehearse it verbally and in writing. The various drills used to check for proper spelling and enunciation was a huge help to me while learning Russian. I’ve already improved my Russian understanding and verbal abilities by 20% of what they used to be when using free platforms found online. It just isn’t that same or as instructive as the service offered by Rocket Languages. The community here with Rocket Languages is great also.

After trying different language suites, text books and audio programs, I must admit that I could have saved a lot by starting out with rocket. The different features such as writing exercises and quizzes are something the program has over other systems.
I do find the goading unnecessary, however, whereby I'm referring to the pricing politics during the free trial. For 6 days they flashed me pop-ups, that I could save half the price of the $400 package. Then, right after I finally purchased the suite, I see yet another limited offer, which would have saved me an additional $30. That makes me question the integrity of the service, although I haven't regretted my purchase to date. Why flash the $400 price tag, like you are bartering at a Turkish bazaar?

The American accent spoken by Alex reminds me of fingernails and a chalk-board. But the Itialian speakers dominate the course. I feel confident reccommending Rocket Italian to others seeking to achieve conversational proficiency.

I am taking the German level 1. I did study German in school 30years ago. That said I haven't used it since so that is alot of rust. The we learned back then was vocabulary then simple sentence like 'See Spot run.'. I felt that this was more converstational and more useful than 3 years of highschool German. I also like the fact they give you some normal German saying versus the formal style I learned. I feel after lesson 1, I could atleast not embarass myself and look forward to building on that foundation.

I learn French and I really love the system of Rocket Languages! The independence gives me a sense of freedom. I can decide what I want to learn next and when and where I would like to improve my knowledge.

The course program is well-organized and easy to use. The advanced learning techniques are well thought out and the design and quality are convincing. I have fun and I do feel the success in learning French.

This curriculum is good...better than the R.S. course. I am able to learn Italian at my own pace, in my spare time, and I can listen to courses while commuting. I appreciate how the curriculum forces conversation, which aides in faster learning. I bought the first Rocket Italian course and I have used it for hundreds of hours. What a great value! I will be buying the next 2 courses soon!

As a serious learner, the conversation part is great, but if there will be more explanation on grammar such as verbs' conjugation, that will be fantastic. I read lots other reviews which mentioned that it's great if learners prepare other grammar books when using Rocket Language, and I totally agree with those opinions. With nouns in extra vocabulary section, it's better to add "le" or "la" to show words' "gender". Sometimes I have to rely on other material to check the "gender". I need more explanation or patterns to show verbs' conjugation. That will be great if there will be a chart displayed with examples.

Rocket French seems to be doing well teaching me introductory french. It is very in depth compared to the free resources for learning french out there. Sometimes the audio lessons have a little too much chit chat for my liking, but on the positive side it follows an amusing story and often explains the new words and phrases well. Not a huge fan of the vocal recognition exercises as they are not always accurate. Overall, happy with my purchase and already feeling much more confident about my french skills!

Rocket Languages has a large collection of lessons to dig into that are effective at teaching the language, and it's easy to use. The one thing I dislike so far is that I was use to using Rosetta Stone, and I loved the visual aspect. It would be awesome if they could incorporate visuals into their lessons as well. But for now the main thing I really like is the added contextual explanations for certain phrases and the fact that they make you have a conversation with the words you learned. My girlfriend is happy i am at least learning her language.

Rocket spanish is the best starter pack for quick self learners. couldnt find anything better.
In the past I used to study english the same way in an institute that over charged me for roughly the same service level I enjoy here learning Spanish. oh and I also had to drive there, park, etc.
The only thing missing YET is a live conversation session forum for students sharing similar knowledge levels. such conversations are optimized when being lead by a teacher or a conversation regulator - this can be easily arranged thtough a partnership with a third party provider such as italki and others.
well done! keep it going I am with you
Thank you
Guy
