Find out what actual users have to say about our courses through their Rocket Languages reviews.
Languages are already hard enough without a proper learning structure in place. And most learning is usually just teaching you phrases. I like the Rocket Language system because it combines audio, written and other forms to get you going. Like any system there will be flaws, but there are always improvements and overall it’s a system that I would be happy to recommend.
Once you get started the Rocket course is fun and the learning experience is great. From the very first lesson you learn that you can learn and it actually makes you feel like you can do it. The different ways to practice also "force" you to try. I also like that the lessons are short and we always review what we have learned in the previous lesson. I just need to remain committed and I think I will make good progress. It also helps to see the points add up the more you practice.
So far, so good. I've tried other online language learning tools and was VERY frustrated with how they taught things. But so far with Rocket French, things are going better. I like how I can mix things up a little...like listen to the vocab before I listen to the lesson. That helps me prepare for the lesson. Hopefully, Rocket French will help me get where I want to be.
I found the first level excellent. Both presenters were extremely clear. I'm on to the intermediate course now though and finding it much tougher. It's the same female presenter and she's excellent, but the male presenter in this course is really difficult to understand, pronouncing words considerably differently from the original. They also leave way too little time to repeat the phrases in this one on the first attempt. The second seems to be ok. I've timed the first and in a lot of cases they leave less time than it took for them to say it, so hopeless for me as a beginner! A bit pricey, but overall it seems to be working.
The Rocket Italian Premium level is great for learning basic travel phrases. The voice recognition software works very well and if you use all the tools they provide for you regularly you'll definitely feel comfortable pulling out Italian phrases when you need them. I do like to listen to the audio lessons several times though. Also I with there was more variety in the testing and practice. An exercise where the student is given a completely new sentence that they have to give back in Italian would be really helpful.
I'm still very new but I think it's very helpful, especially with a language like Japanese as I can't read the writing - yet! What I didn't know when I started was the Rocket Japanese would help me learn to read it as well!!! AWESOME!!!
I went on a work exchange to a french ski area thirty years ago.
After six months in Meribel my French was approaching functional, I have spoken very little French since. I've been really surprised how quickly it is all coming back after just using your product for just a week.
I think that it a very good online course, the interactive parts are great, it really helps to improve. The conversations chosen are real, meaninful, they help to go around in the real world. I have some suggestions though: it would be very helpful to get the possibility of translating and hearing part of the sentences (cyberteachers from Berlitz has it). I would also extend a bit the content of level 3 to make it match to level B2 or even level C.
A great way to get your feet wet to a number of different languages. A lot of effort has gone into the courses and while there are still some bugs to be worked out like spelling mistakes and videos that are to fast for a beginner, the courses can be an entertaining way to get used to speaking different languages.
Ive tried a few online sites but this is certainly the best. It is very entertaining and encourages you to keep trying. I like the way you can check your progress. It may appear expensive but a great deal of work went into designing it and for that it is worth it
