Rocket Languages Reviews

good lessons, interactive. the listen back facility was useful. the lessons were on appropriate subjects, and started in a very easy to understand way. the quiz questions were useful, and gave you a good idea of your progress. the course seems like reasonable value, although I suspect I will end up paying more for further lessons with premium plus package, since this only covers basic material.

Rocket French is by far the best home study learning package i have ever owned, and i have tried many! The many and varied applications within the course means that one never gets bored with this learning experience. I really feel for the first time that i have a chance to really speak another language. well done Rocket French

I was pleasantly surprised by Rocket Japanese, I had tried other language learning websites before. But, none of them gave me the feeling of control that Rocket Japanese gives. With this website I can choose what I want to learn: when, for how long, and how much I want to cover. I think anyone serious about Rocket Japanese should at least give it a try.

This is a great way to brush up on my school French that I learned many years ago. I am getting ready for a three week trip to France. Allons-y! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You should try as many resources as possible when learning a new language. Prior to Rocket Languages, I consulted a textbook, Rosetta Stone software, and Pimsleur audio lessons. The Rocket Languages program is the most balanced approach, when it comes to learning styles.

Textbook
+ Index and dictionary
+ Many opportunities for explanation and background information
- Very linear
- Not immersive

Rosetta Stone
+ The most vocabulary
+ Visual reinforcement through images
+ Very slick interface
- No English
- No explanations
- Images are bad at expressing multiple ideas
- Images are bad at expressing time and use of tenses
- The grading scale is unhelpful

Audible
+ Efficient explanations
+ Easy progression in small steps
+ Lots of repetition
- The reading lessons are tacked on at the end
- Poor exposure to the written word
- Poor explanation of tenses

Rocket Languages
+ Listening, Reading, and Speaking functionality is strongly integrated
+ High quality audio
+ PDF handouts and downloads make it easy to learn away from the computer
+ Curriculum offers multiple definitions, when appropriate
- The progression is a little fast
- Needs more repetition within the audio lessons
- Maybe pair the audio lessons with a slideshow for visual reinforcement?

Rocket Languages is the best value, when compared to other learning solutions. I will go to Rocket Languages first when I try my next language.

Although I have only completed one lesson, I am enjoying the product immensely. The lessons help me recognize my weak points. The customer service is helpful but slow to respond to requests. I am enjoying learning French and, hopefully, beginning my courses in Italian once I sort out a few issues with the help of customer service.

I really like how the conversation is broken down so that you understand each word, and the Hear It, Say It and Know It features really help my pronunciation. I feel that I have been able to retain the sentences I learn in the Interactive Audios. I also like how we are given opportunities to answer questions during the dialogues so that we can practice speaking on the fly. There are a lot of additional features and tools in the Survival Kit and Language & Culture sections; I really have gotten so much value for my money!

i find rocket german super .i go to a german class i can not understand the teacher rocket german helps a lot in two month with rocket german i learn slangs and some germans culture and they break it down to your level and everyday activities good job

Pros:
- Good overall structure
- Gamified
- Lots of content
- Lifetime access

Cons:
- Grammar lessons should be more in-depth.
- Writing section should be taken more seriously instead of the "it's almost impossible for you to learn this so here's some easy random stuff".

Overall this may be the best online package out there. However, in order to be perfect it needs to consolidate its writing and grammar section. I have found the structure to be really useful in obtaining some key phrases or words but there's almost no info regarding phrase construction and rules so it's not that easy to use what I've learned so far as building blocks for new phrases and expanded meanings.

I've been using Rocket French and German for awhile now and both have been working really well for me. I would recommend the Rocket Languages website to friends looking to learn new languages through a user-friendly interface.
