Rocket Languages Reviews

I LOVE Rocket German! At the beginning I had to force myself to study German (because my husband is German). But thanks to Rocket German, I started to enjoy learning German. Nik and Paul are definitely a great team. They sounded enthusiastic and engaged. The dialogues are short but useful and practical. As long as I am persistent, Rocket Languages definitely is a powerful tool. The price is acceptable, the content is rich, and it's enjoyable to listen to the audios.

I wanted to go back to learning french after having taken some courses in college. After trying a few different approaches, I came across Rocket French. I have to say, I'm very pleased with the results. The dialogues are instructive and fun, making it that much easier to want stay with the program. I can easily recommend Rocket French to anyone thinking about learning the language.

I feel like I have my own personal teacher. I am learning vocabulary fast. The conversations are relevant and realistic. The format is easy to use. I also love that I can go at my own pace.

My motto is "review, review, review". I can do that with Rocket Languages Spanish.

Bonus--the price is excellent! Thanks so much for this product!

This is my first time trying out learning French in an online course. This online course is quite different from what other interactive courses I've tried.
Rocketlanguages lets you learn a foreign language by a really cool interactive audio language lesson. Then, you test yourself what you've learned by Hear it Say it, Write it, Know it, and lastly Quizzing yourself.
All of the above testing methods are structured in a way to cut your learning curves as much as possible to achieve the goal you need.
See for yourself. This course rocks!

Very easy for any one everything is translated to any Language I recommend it. muy facil de usar en culaquier ideoma se los recomiendo si estudian con dedicasion los va aser mejores en sus vidas..que Rocket English sea la major decision que tomen.

Rocketlanguages is my favorite way to learn french. I like the format, lessons are usually less than half an hour and then I through all the reviews, which are words and phrases from the lesson. Also, I downloaded all the audio lessons and put them on my ipod so I listen to them as I drive back and forth to work. At age 52, I need to immerse myself in french and Rocketlanguages helps me do that better than anything else out there. And it's reasonably priced to boot. I highly recommend the Rocket languages system.

I love the idea of learning a new language by virtual communication and opportunity to be tested after each lesson. The best of all I find the "know it- say it" column as you are being asked to repeat sentences you are struggling with! I have just started with 'The Rocket German' and must say its absolutely refreshing with its unique approach to learning!

Excellent way to practice speaking and listening to German. You can learn words and phrases by repeating them lots of times in useful contexts, which seems more effective than trying to memorise them from a list.

Frankly, I think Rocket Italiano is very good. Though it is slow going for me, it does seem thorough. I do think the price is perfect and if I get through this first course, I will continue with the next course. I am going to Sicily at the end of June and the first part of July, so I hope I have it somewhat together by then.

Motivation to learn a different language is the key. I like the way Rocket Italiano has provided different ways to keep this interesting. The testing is interesting, as is trying to speak the way the instructors speak. I have not gone through the entire course step by step, but I have jumped around a bit and keep coming back for more.

I am wondering though if there is a major difference between the Italian language and the Sicilian language. I have relatives in Sicily and I am going to try to communicate with them when I am visiting. Some of them I have never met. It should be interesting. I will continue the course when I get back and if I am comfortable enough, I will enroll in the next Rocket Italiano course. As of right now though, it seems that I have a long way to go.

On the plus side, the website is attractive and functions well. The interactive lessons are well-structured and nicely done. I appreciate that they make continued improvements, such as the addition of Write It in the testing sections. Also appreciate that both sound and text are downloadable and the website allows you to listen to only the parts of the lessons you want. I haven't taken advantage of any "social" features like the Forum but I appreciate that Rocket tries to foster a community. The "points" system is an interesting idea.

On the downside, I think there's too much repetition of non-essential vocabulary in the testing sections (I really don't think lesson or unit are words to keep hammering me with). I also think built-in flashcards linked to My Vocabulary would be nice or perhaps automated flashcards for each section. It's also not clear the sequencing of the lessons. This is partially intentional but you'll find yourself tested on material you haven't seen if you don't move across all the lesson types. That said, I've given feedback to the team on many points and they've nearly always been responsive and eager to help and take feedback.
