Rocket Languages Reviews

Rocket Japanese is an excellent, affordable way to learn Japanese. Sayaka and Kenny work together quite well, though sometimes their interactions seem a bit fake. This program is great for those who know next-to-nothing about the language they want to learn, like me.

I have tried many language courses through out the years and have finally found one that gets me sitting down in front of my computer every night because I know I've got a test to take every Sunday night. The badge/ribbon award that flashes up on the screen gives me a little boost.

This is the next best thing to working with a real Korean speaker. I think it's very effective to listen to them speak and then see if my speech matches up with theirs. Customer service was helpful too. Overall this is a great way of introducing myself to the language and I'm sure it will help me immensely when I go to Korea. Thank you!

This is one of the best French programs I have come across and it won't break your bank to buy. It is definitely geared towards adults who seriously want to learn and understand a new language, which is a refreshing change for me over the unstructured, cartoonish language programs that seem to be everywhere.

Alright, so I have been using Rocket Chinese for about a year now. I was attracted mostly by the price and the amount of features involved. I was not about the drop hundreds of dollars on Rosetta's Stone or Pimsleur, but I did want quality learning. There are hundreds of ways to learn Mandarin for free on the internet. I realize that. But I needed a place that could provide grammatical support, and have comprehensive lessons that taught a higher level of understanding to the language. Here is what I got:
-Good entertaining lessons
-Motivation
-An overall look at the language
-Chinese culture
And here are the things that I have noticed need improvement
-Despite the recent edits to the "Hear it, Speak it" I definitely think that it can be fixed up even more
-The point system can be more comprehensive for example someone that practices every day, reviewing old lessons will never get the same credit as someone who just puts random answers for quizzes, answers BS for blog posts. I know the end goal is to learn the language and these people wont be doing that but you get the idea
-Chinese writing section I think could definitely use some improvements, and a way of testing yourself to learn the characters.

I've stop and started Rocket French several times but now since I've downloaded audio lessons to my MP3 it'll be easier to start over again and keep going since MP3 can go with me anywhere.

Very good value for the price compared with other offerings I researched and tried.

The Rocket approach to teaching a foreign language, improving conversational French in my case, makes the process a pleasure to follow. There is great variety of subjects covered in different teaching ways, and I think the recording options are an excellent way to test your progress. My accent and confidence have improved and it makes me keen to use what I have learnt in public.

Rocket's approach also makes it so easy to go back and review any lesson / subject at any time, and the use of My Vocab and Notes means you can keep a permanent record of those words and phrases you find tricky to remember. I would recommend Rocket to anyone wishing to learn a new language or needing to take their knowledge of a language to a higher level.

While I generally enjoy the course, there is something I think should definitely be improved. Specifically, in the reinforcement exercises, they need to specify which form of "you" is expected. In real life, the context will provide the information, but in the exercises, no such context is available. It is quite frustrating! Please address this deficiency. Thank you.

I like that I can listen AND see the words but I really, really wish the speaker's buttons worked better so that I could hear the phrase repeatedly, once for each click.
