Rocket Languages Reviews

Good if you're serious about learning. Provides very well explained lessons. Won't just throw word at you, but will explain in great detail when and how those words and phrases should be used. Gives a little insight into Latin American culture. Let's you practice reading, listening, and speaking. Explains grammar in a way that is not boring, but is thorough. Not for visual learners. No pictures. Not for people who aren't already very motivated to learn a language. Has a leaderboard and will track your streak, but not overall very game-like. If you finish all three courses you will be able to understand most conversations even if you don't know some of the words. Just try it!

I have liked the program so far but here are my main criticisms:
First, the pacing. I wouldn't say I like having 5 audio lessons consecutively and then 5 language and culture lessons in a row. I prefer to have one audio and one language and culture lesson each time. I also wish these two types of lessons were more related and interconnected. they seem so disjointed and irrelevant right now.
I also wish that there was some sort of spaced repetition feature for reviewing previously learned vocabulary and materials. Therefore I have to manually make flashcards in another program (Anki) for this which is a little cumbersome than having them readily available.
I would like to see some new features for exercising the learned vocabulary and grammar instead of just repeating the limited number of sentences in each lesson and requiring the students to form and come up with new sentences.

I think Rocket Languages is great! I love the way it integrates real life conversations with grammar in a way which makes language learning fun, interactive and productive. I also love how at the end of each lesson there is an option to practice the vocabulary using different modes (listening, writing, speaking). This not only allows you to memorise the words but practicing in this way also trains your ear to be able to write unknown Italian words without needing to be told how to spell them. I only started learning Italian about a month ago but I already feel like I've made so much progress and the great thing is I enjoy it too!

love this lesson(s) and I am working on those pesky RRRRR's

the learning is good but the price is unnecessary.

So far so good. I like the diversity of approaches - grammar, vocabulary, cards, writing what you hear, speaking... The voice recognition is an important part of the course and is great when it works. Unfortunately, a significant portion of the time it does not - on random occasions it can not detect any sound. And I am not sure what to say about the customer service, I don't know how to access that feature.

Hello. This is the first review I'm writing, only because Rocket Spanish seems like an extremely effective app for learning languages. Specifically, I am talking about Spanish, although these points probably apply to the other languages, especially its structure. It's structure is very appealing and attractive, and the way you learn through sets of audio, flash cards, quizzes, which test your overall knowledge, is very simple and concise. I highly recommend giving the free version a try, to see if it's for you, although it might not work for everyone, it's layout is intuitive and easy to navigate, and the learning system is very efficient. There is only one minor issue, and that is the audio system. Talking generally works and it can read your voice very well. But sometimes, for more complex words that require more pronunciations, it can read your voice wrongly. Overall, I think Rocket Spanish specifically is an amazing tool for learning Spanish! Keep up the work, Rock Language!

It's wonderful! I hope to speak well enough to speak French on my vacation to Canada next year.

Ciao tutti a Rocket Italian! I have been enjoying the course for a couple of weeks now. It's really helping my listening and speaking skills. I like the way it's based on conversations - this is very useful. and I also find the grammar explanations very good.
I can't wait to try it all out on my next visit to Italy.
Grazie e a presto!
