Rocket Languages Reviews
Find out what actual users have to say about our courses through their Rocket Languages reviews.
I have been learning french on and off for years and know a lot of vocab and the basics but was lazy with grammar and sentence structure. I have done a fair few apps and podcasts but Rocket French is the best I have used for building structure in all areas. I love it and would recommend it. It is interestijng , well paced and covers a wide range of topics and phrases.
Areas for improvement - As per a lot of other reviews, I can't use the speach areas on my laptop as it doesn't pick them up well (it's better with headphones but still not great) however it works fine on my phone so I just use that for speach.
Other niggle is that the French pronounciation of the American presenter/ introducer is so awful. The two french role players are understandably great but I'm suprised Rocket French used someone who pronounces so many french words and phrases so badly. It's less of an issue as you then hear the french role players covering it in the role play so you hear how it should be said but it is poor someone who does not have good pronounciation has been used for a good quality paying product - which overall all Rocket French absolutely is.

Very good course. Lots of content. Sometimes the solo speaking section is a bit redundant. Simulated dialogue would be most helpful.

Thank you for your feedback, Michael! In our early Rocket Spanish modules, we aim to keep things simple with plenty of practice opportunities so the phrases you're learning truly stick. If you're looking for something a bit more challenging, check out Rocket Spanish Play the Part—it's based on a variety of authentic conversations you might encounter if you lived in a Spanish-speaking country!
I guess for emerging technology, it is not too bad. But the speaking section is extremely frustrating. I was shouting my phrases and was advised "no speech detected". Very frustrating. But overall, I'm keen to continue for the moment.

We're sorry to hear about the trouble you're facing, Bryan. If you could contact us at [email protected], we’d be glad to assist you, as this error message is probably due to a configuration issue in your settings rather than the voice recognition itself. All the best!
Very good ideas but difficult to move on to next module easily if too easy

Very nice learning program. Love the pronunciation practice. My only complaint it the prompt that interrupt you while taking a lessong to ask you to write a review.
Response from Rocket Languages
We appreciate the feedback, Stan! Just so you know, you can easily close this prompt and return to the important thing: learning Italian!
Although I am progressing in the course, I don't like the fact that the introduction of new vocabulary (flashcards, etc.) is not accompanied by images and figures.
Images are a resource that helps a lot in memorizing new words/terms and it doesn't seem to be very difficult to include in the course, especially for the price charged for it.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you for your feedback, Diogo! We understand that as a visual learner, having images alongside the flashcards might better support your learning. However, since our course caters to a wide range of learning styles and considering the numerous flashcards throughout the course, we cannot implement this right away. Please know that your suggestion has been noted, and in the meantime, we recommend checking out the Saved Vocab feature in the Tools section. This feature allows you to download a unique vocabulary list to which you can add your own images after downloading. All the best!
The course would improve significantly if vocabulary could be reviewed systematically across lessons and with spaced repetition.
