Rocket Arabic Reviews

I love that you are able to speak through lessons. It feels like you have a great friend to practice with, except they are always there for practice!

Only wish is that the voice recorder would have a stop button because it doesn't seem to stop recording if fans are playing in the background or other white noise.

I have been studying Rocket Egyptian Arabic since early April and it is the highlight of my day. I have tried several courses over the years and this one seems to be working for me. I work on the computer for about half an hour most days and I have downloaded the conversation to my MP3 player and listen to two or three lessons while I am out running in the morning. I have never had an ability to learn languages in the past and have been struggling with Arabic on and off for a number of years but I am determined to stay with this programme and I am hopeful I will be able to master a reasonable level of communication by the time I get to the end of the course. I'm loving it!!

I completed Pimsleur Egyptian Arabic Level 1 and attempted some Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) for 2 weeks before going back to focusing on a dialect since nobody speaks MSA. This course is great but to get the most out of it, you have to focus on writing & reading everything (no shortcuts) in Arabic Script as many times as necessary until you don't have to rely on the latin (Franco-Arabic Script). Only then, can you move on to reading Arabic (Egyptian) Press, Books, Graded Readers, song lyrics etc... This program will get you to a solid intermediate!

Unfortunately, this software does not allow me to become fluent, as this only makes you an "intermediate" speaker with a premium level of 1 compared to others who have 3. The software for Arabic really needs some more information on writing the language, as it is by far the hardest lessons to learn. I have studied it for hours and still, I do not understand one bit the Arabic alphabet and how to write in Arabic. Other than that this is this software is above average that allows you to learn at your own pace. I also enjoy that I can use this software forever for only %150.

Ahlan beekum, hello everyone. Rocket Arabic is a pretty great tool, gets you stuck right into learning all the relevant phrases straight away so you can begin communicating as soon as you feel comfortable. Would recommend to anyone willing to learn quickly and effectively.

I had tried Rosetta Stone for learning Arabic..I found it very difficult to grasp. With Rocket I began immediately to understand what was being taught and putting it into practice immediately. Native Arab speaking friends of mine understood what I was saying and even praised me on how well I am doing.

Loving it. Being a language teacher myself I was very skeptical with the course but decided to give it a try.
I am now so in love with it that even though I have not yet finished the first module, I am already begging you guys to release the Intermediate level!
There is just one thing though, the Arabic letters in the writing tests could be larger as well the virtual keyboard - the writing is so tiny that I need magnifying lenses to read it. Apart from that, perfect.
Thanks Amira and team!

Simply enjoyable, don't need to spend too much time.
I think for some who don't know how to start, it's just a good tool.
But unfortunately I didn't find the full course, what I have it's only for beginners and intermediates, but not advance learners courses.

I was following several Arabic courses at the beginning and found out later that it is just waste of too much time if you do not have a well planned track for learning. Specially when I go through the rocket trial, I found that they way they deliver the course is best among I came across. It practices us to use the language instead of putting us on the difficult grammar and the science of the language. I believe directly diving in to the language will help us absorb, love and learn the language easily. I am on first module now. Hope it would help me to achieve a certain standard.

After studying Modern Standard Arabic for a while I realise that I need to learn a dialect so I can talk to anyone in Egypt. Rocket Arabic is perfect for me. I can often understand what roots the words are derived from because of my previous MSA study and this is helping me in my learning. Speaking Egyptian Arabic is comfortable and easier than MSA as it is the language used in day to day life.
