I've tried two other popular language learning problems.....but always was so disappointed...I'm extremely ADD and they just didn't work with me....however, Rocket rules....I'm so happy with this program and I am actually remembering what I learned....for a person who always struggled with learning, this has been wonderful.
I've tried using other apps and things for learning a language and so far this is the best i have found, very interactive and easy to follow. Worth a try!
It's grateful to learn lot of different languages, I highly recommend this Rocket Languages web to my family, friends, fellow countrymen & brethren.
Overall the course has some good points and some not so good,
The good is the audio course, I am not sure how far it can get you towards fluency but every little helps and the course does present information well. I found the banter a tad annoying at first but it's grown on me and I have come across stuff that i haven't seen elsewhere. My feeling is that it will get you no further than basic communication and that michel thomas method is far better, as is pimsleur and paul noble. I think their methods get you speaking and understanding more effectively and more quickly; that said this is a good supplement to other learning systems.
The bad for me is the grammar section. It is basically just explanations that could have come from any textbook but without exercises that support the material very well. I think for what they are doing here a textbook is a better option, its cheaper and you will get better reinforcement of the lessons. In fact the quizes attached seem completely irrelevant and are just vocab memorization.
The quizzes for the most part are just dull to be honest.

Hi Mark - Thanks for the detailed review. Rocket French is going to be re-examined soon, especially with regards to the quizzes.
I like the format, in that I think it is conducive for learning.
I've tried a lot of different language programs to see which one keeps my attention, is easy, and effective. Rocket Spanish is my favorite and only one I use now!
I started learning Egyptian Arabic with a teacher, however only learning from a teacher does not satisfy me, I had to do more! My problem was, I could not find an application that could help me with Egyptian especially, all of them were for Modern Standard Arabic. Thanks to Rocket Languages I am able to enjoy the experience.
I would highly recommend these lessons. It is nice to be able to work at your own pace. The lessons are very easy to learn.
It's all in all a nice way to learn a language, I'm currently in the trial for Italian and Japanese as those are the 2 languages that I am currently learning. It would be even better if the app would not always crash when trying to do the flashcards.
Besides that I am happy with what this program offers.
