Rocket Languages Reviews

I am 82 years of age.I retired from medicine (family practitioner) some two years ago. My paternal grandparents emigrated from Germany and settled on the land about the middle of last century.
I followed my father on the original land my Grandfather selected. at age 30 I felt the urge to study medicine.I did my matriculation studies by correspondence as well work the farm. I matriculated aged 40 and spent 40 tears as a medico. I mention the above for 2 reasons. firstly with our knowledge of neuroplasticity we now know age is no bar to learning new information. Secondly found my correspondence studies extremely helpful. I was able to study when most convenient as well carry out full time farming. That is why I find your course so wonderful. I can pace my studies. It is good for my brain! and I don't have to attend university and it gives me an affinity with my forebears! I highly recommend you course and gives me great pleasure to do so

The perfect package that helps you to read, write, understand and speak Portuguese step by step. As it is on internet, you can learn with your own pace and as per your free time. This concept is fantastic.

Rocket Languages is amazing! For 2 years I've been learning bits and pieces of Japanese dialogue but with Rocket Languages I can get all the information I need because it's right at my fingertips. I now have a more efficient way of learning another language besides French or English.

So far it has been greatly useful for my start-up in this language. I plan to continue with the Platinum after finishing the Premium Plus. In my field, French is very important since the best technologies were devised there. Marie-Claire and Paul are excellent instructors so far, i hope they continue to be throughout.

I am just restarting to learn Mandarin using Rocket Chinese because I had been too busy teaching and building new courses at my current school in China.

Positive:
1. Listening, Reading (in pinyin - latin script and Simplified - chinese script), Writing (initially in pinyin) and speaking is available from the very first lesson.
2. Step by step in a logical fashion based on what would seem to be logical needs of a person new to learning the language.
3. Clear and colourful interface that is easy to follow.
4. There are now cute little incentive badges that give you a sense of your progress. These complement the already colourful interface, but I think this is helpful for both younger and older learners

While I like the course layout very much, there are just a couple of tiny problems that I suspect will be addressed quite quickly on the technical side.

1. I haven't yet figured out how to prevent my browser (Firefox) from asking permission everytime RocketChinese wants to use the camera/microphone. Because I am used to the 7/24 customer service, email is obviously slower, but their responses are usually within 24 hours... so, not intolerable.

I got a subscription for Rocket Italian for Xmas 2012 and worked at it fairly consistently until we traveled to Italy in May. I was hesitant to speak Italian until we got into a situation where no-one spoke English and then surprised myself by being able to communicate with some farmers who sold us wine and olive oil. On another occasion I got so immersed in a conversation about some church architecture that I completely forgot myself and chatted for some time with a local man about 'domes'. My husband was totally impressed (he didn't know what we were talking about) and takes full credit for giving me the course as a gift.

Rocket Italian is the best online language program available. Its easy to use and easy to learn. Covering everything you need to help you speak Italian to the Italians with help where needed to aid you in your quest to learn another language... 5 star rocket.....grazie

Love it it is so applicable normal situations. It also works great on my IPad. With wifi. I've used Rosetta Stone. Hands down this is way better.
Do you have a level 2 deal only
Thanks

Rocket Languages is one of the best ways to learn a language in my opinion. I have tried Rosta Stone in the past but never could get the language down. Then I came across Rocket Languages and I love it. I am currently working on trying to understand Arabic and it still surprises me on what I have picked up with this program. Rocket Languages makes it easy.

Am thoroughly enjoying this learning program. There are so many ways to test your skills and improve your skills. It fits my schedule just fine. The biggest discipline is making an appointment with myself and keeping it. The more I achieve the more I want to achieve. Am traveling to Italy next spring and expect to be able to use my new skills with comfort and ease.
