Improving the learning interface

Hello. This is more of a general suggestion for the way Rocket works. First of all, I am extremely pleased with the software (I'm learning German), especially because I have tried other language software and so far Rocket is the best one. This could be because Rocket is better suited to my learning style (I'd describe myself as a “serious” learner, someone who gets a little obssessed when learning something new), but all things considered I'd choose Rocket over any other language software if your objective is to start learning a language well and actually using it for real-world purposes and not just as a side hobby.

 

One aspect in which Rocket excels at is the structure it provides: you get engaged with a simple story (characters talking and doing things), you get exposed to some grammar and vocabulary, etc.; and then you can easily go back to specific topics you learned before. In other software the “getting back to past topics” is very difficult: past units or subjects get buried under the new, shiny things, and to retrieve them and re-practice you must dig very deep in the interface.

 

My suggestion is making even better that “going back to past topics”. Something I'd like to see is a better, more specific tagging of the different aspects of the content one is learning, e.g.: Grammar, Present Tense, Vocabulary, Countries and Nationalities, Local jargon, etc. So, if I wish to dig deeper into, say, some grammar rules, I would be able to find that quickly by navigating the sidebar or some other part of the interface, besides going bact to re-listen or re-read past lessons.

Hallo DavidM413, 

 

Thank you for the great feedback! It's fantastic to hear how Rocket helps you to learn German. Also thank you for taking the time to offer your suggestions. I will pass it on to our development team. Note that you can always use the search function to quickly find specific (grammar) lessons or vocabulary. 

 

Viele Grüße
