Wow!! Thank you for making Flash card vocab revision earn points!! It was a necessary evil before, that I'd tack onto the beginning or end of a lesson . . . I feel even more virtuous now that I can see the tally go up, and it counts towards my active streak!
UPDATE!
On a recent visit to France/French-speaking Switzerland I found I could understand much more of what I read and heard than on previous visits. Although often too slow to respond, when I did say something, I WASN'T ANSWERED IN ENGLISH !! (I take this to mean that my pronunciation is also much improved.)
I am not even half-way through Level 1, and am convinced that Rocket French will have me communicating meaningfully on my next trip.
Rocket Languages is great! It helps me to not only learn the words, but also to pronounce them. Personally, I enjoy the the testing section because it helps me memorize what I have learned in past lessons and no one sees my grades ( so I don't have to feel shy about my grades)! I would recommend rocket languages to anyone who desires to have a good experience learning a new language while enjoying himself.
Listening to the audio lessons is very boring. You hear someone saying something in Arabic, and then they tell you what it is in english with a little bit of filler and sometimes a lame joke. There's too much english speaking in between the arabic, and after listening to it I don't recall anything from it. I then started doing some of the other activities and they're all very basic. This is much less advanced than Rosetta Stone. Rosetta Stone doesn't choose the most useful phrases to teach you when you start off, but at least it reinforces what you are learning in an easy way to pick up the language without a lot of filler talk in the language you already speak (english in my case). It's hard to motivate myself to listen to more of these Rocket Arabic lessons because they are so boring.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Robert - We have added in a ton more standalone words and phrases that can be used with voice recognition. As well as that we have revamped the Language & Culture lessons.
I am so glad I bought Rocket French! The course as a whole is outstanding as it caters to all learning styles. I find it difficult to learn just by ear so being able to write, test and get involved in the actual conversation really helps the new vocabulary sink in! Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to learn a new language. It's much easier and more fun than learning in a class! :D
Well, I arrived in France three months back & before coming I learnt the basics of French from Module 1 and from survival kit & it helped me a lot in communicating to people initially. I am still learning here and communicating with people. I tried to learn from other sources also but rocket french is the best online course I would say. The courses are very organised and also motivating.
An amazing and fast way to learn spanish..better than all the other apps that i have tried..was alittle reluctant trying it out at first but after the first lesson i completely loved it..i would refer all the people who want to learn spanish online to use this app..keep it up
We have tried several other programs but this is really working to learn french. We like how they use native speakers and are so organized. Also , this program can we used for school age kids as well. Highly recommend to anyone trying to learn how to speak french.
Rocket Spanish is a revelation! At first glance the trial lesson looked like a lot of "fragmented" vocabulary to take on board. However, once started it quickly turns into a trail of gradual understanding. The "bite-sized" treatment of the material quickly turns into a game and you are gradually drawn into completing each section.
Rocket German is my favorite online language learning website because Interactive Audio Lessons, Voice Recognition, Language & Culture Lessons are very helpful and very easy to use. I would highly recommend this website to my friends and family.
I go to the Honduras on Mission trips twice a year and I am determined to not have to use a translator in June. Rocket Spanish has been the best program for me in that I am very busy and need to get as much in as I can especially on week ends. This is a good deal!
