Rocket Languages Reviews

This is the second time I have used an electronic based course for learning Italian. The first was about 15 years ago, and I did not proceed very far. The structure of this course is very clear and easy to follow, and surprisingly the points earning has exposed a hitherto unknown competitive nature which has assisted motivation to propel me forward. The only change I would make would be to have voice recognition rate your speech, rather than rate your own. The forum is useful, and customer service extremely prompt. 5 stars all around.

I really enjoyed my first class with Paula. I give her 5 stars on all your questions. I am going to recommend her to my friend.

I love the combination of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Being able to interact with the same words and phrases many times, and in many different ways, helps increase my familiarity and my retention of the words. My confidence has skyrocketed, and I truly believe I will be able to communicate when I travel to China!

I love it! It was highly recommended to me by a deaf person. The lessons are well presented in detail clearly. It helps me to practice and reinforce what I am learning in weekly one hour classes. Many thanks for providing such a course.

Rocket Languages is an awesome way to learn German or any language. It is light years ahead of the way I learned French at High School long ago.

In place of learning lists of words, you are given phrases to use so that you learn idioms rather than setting yourself up to use stilted expressions that don't accord with actual usage. You can still build your own vocabulary lists and export them to a file in your computer; and you can create your own notes to accompany these lists to gain understanding of how the words are used and case modified. I was offered .csv but would prefer .doc, but this is a minor matter.

The ability to download the initial conversational lessons is a great plus along with also being able to download .pdf files so that you can refresh yourself in these lessons again in a different context such as in your car.

Learning to say words, phrases and sentences from native speaking German tutors ensures that you learn to speak with a minimum of foreign accent, and the repetition with variations speeds the assimilation of the language. This experience is enhanced by your being able to record and re-record your rendition of a recording made for you by a tutor.

I really enjoy using the program because it is thorough and challenging but not complicated. I like being able to record myself speaking and compare it to native speakers. It has really helped me improve pronunciation. Over all I say this is a great system.

I am starting Rocket Italian, I got it as a Christmas present from my husband. He knew I wanted to be a fluent Italian speaker! I had tried another expensive course and while it was ok, it was missing an important part. I couldn't think of how to put the words I knew together. It seems with a short time on this course, it already helps!

Rocket Japanese is amazing. Since it includes interactive audio lessons, I find it much easier compared to going to the bookstore and buy a book with all this stuff. Because of this audio lessons I find it easier to pronounce Japanese words and I can also assure that you will learn the correct pronunciation using this interactive audio lessons since one of the hosts is a native Japanese speaker. Another thing I liked about it is you can download the audio file and also the pdf file that goes with it, and you can study the language offline. There are also games which you can play that serves as a review or a test for you which is really fun to do. Its set up of how to learn this language is not boring. Its really fun to learn a language with the interactive audio lessons. It seems like you are having a one on one lesson with a friend who is a native speaker of the language you are trying to learn. And I really admire Sayaka and Kenny since they always sound so enthusiastic to teach Japanese language in every audio lessons.
Being a Jrock fan I think Rocket Japanese is one of the reasons why I am now able to communicate to other fans in a better way. And also, now I can understand some lyrics from the Jrock songs I'm listening to without any translations. Thanks Rocket Japanese!

I am so happy that I joined this course! I could recommend it to all my friends who want to learn a new language or refresh their knowledge in German, French etc.
Besides that, rocketlanguages is preparing regular new updates and they are for free for all users.

I really like this program for German. One of the areas I have difficulty in is when I listen to the female teacher, (not Nik, she is great) the delivery is faster than I can comprehend the word or phrase. Also her natural audio level is low for me therefore I miss some distinct elements of the words. This is a superior study course. Overall I just have to practice more in the future.
