It is a usefull language learning system, I especially like the MP3 files, however I have spotted a few problems with the website, these are: Unit = 2.11 the website says metro = Underground however it Should be = metro = meter & Underground = metropolitan Its ok to put in names & so not translate them - But not ok to say a name is a translation when it is not. Unit = 2.12 the website says Lavoro manuale = Labor however it Should be = Lavoro manuale = manual work & Lavoro = Labor Unit = 2.13 the website says Quant'è? = How much does it come to? however it Should be = Quant'è? = How much? & venuto a = come to Unit = 3.4 the website says Abbastanza = Fairly bad. however it Should be = male = bad Unit = 3.4 the website says Allora riposa e cerca di dormire. = Ok then, have a rest and try to sleep. however it Should be = Ok then, have a rest = Ok allora, avere un periodo di riposo Unit = 3.7 the Problem is English words on wrong (italian) side for: ham, cabbage & she arranges Unit = 3.7 the Problem is all più words have extra letters in them = più Unit = 3.7 the Problem is ' is confusing in It's hotter (more hot) today than yesterday.
The Rocket learning system is a logically thought out way to build vocabulary and grammar, while the dialogue and cultural background sections gives each lesson great context. It is a most enjoyable way to learn a language. The fact that one can go back to a previous lesson to review something (and that it is easy to find) helps a lot. Listening to instructors speaking in a native tongue puts one almost in the country that one is learning the language of. Well done RL.
Rocket Japanese has really helped me excel in Japanese. The website is really easy and I can go at my own pace. The interactive audio lessons are very helpful and I can hear everything nice and clearly. Before, with other programs and teaching methods, I would struggle and have a difficult time understanding such an overwhelming language. But with Rocket Japanese, I am able to smoothly comprehend the fundamentals and speak with confidence. I would definitely recommend it to anyone seeking guidance for Japanese.
Rocket Spanish really holds your hand to get you learning. And when you slack-off, up pops an email to get you going again. I practice here and then test myself on my long-suffering Spanish neighbours!
I bought Rocket Chinese to learn very basic Mandarin and am not disappointed. I was thrilled when after using the program only several times I was able to speak out aloud and be understood by native Chinese!
I have been using the Genki textbook to learn Japanese, but I find this program to be more effective in that it provides explanations as well as prerecorded conversations so that one may practice conversational Japanese even when there is no one else to practice with. Love this program!
Rocket German is a very addicting (in a good way) course! It is no effort at all to do the lessons. My son, who completed two years of high school German and three years of college German can't believe how fast I've gotten the point of being able to have a conversation with him. We both try to speak German as much as possible around the house just for fun. We plan on traveling to Germany in about two years, and I can't wait to try out my new language skills!
Absolutely wonderful product... I'm already a native speaker and was looking at some language courses to see how to better approach my other language learning endeavors - thanks to Rocket Languages, I don't have to worry about some of the more fundamental problems like pronunciation, vocabulary cards and learning retention - it's all here!
I use Rocket German on my iPod while I'm on the road driving or walking. I enjoy the voices of the familiar Rocket characters, Nik and Paul. I especially appreciate the quirky humor that's worked into each lesson. Thanks guys! You make learning fun!
So far I've had no problems with this program mi novia is mexican and this program gives me a chance to try and learn more spanish so I can communicate better with her family and be more educated in their culture, it's awesome!
