I researched quite a few language program options, and Rocket Italian seemed to have a solid concept. After purchasing the program, and completing the first few lessons, I was extremely glad that I went with this company. The variety of methods used to teach the lessons is refreshing, and the step-by-step lessons are packaged with a handful of integral topics of conversations (incredibly helpful if you plan to journey to the country whose language you wish to learn). I especially appreciate that words and phrases from previous lessons are intermittently thrown back into any number of later lessons to ensure the language is engrained. To summarize: it's not boring, it keeps you motivated, and it's effective. I'm impressed!
Update:
A couple of years ago, I signed up for Rocket Italian, but certain obligations prevented my completion of the course.
I recently signed up for the Rocket language lessons again, and I am blown away with gratitude for this new, fun-to-use, version. I especially appreciate the strategic repetition during each lesson and the generous "pat on the back". Most importantly, in my opinion is the fact that this program makes you want to sit down and open the next lesson plan, and then the next, and the next .... Love it!
I have been a calligrapher of chinese brush for 10 years, and NOW I am learning the language! I knew that whatever I found had to fit my “not so beginner, but very beginner” status. Rocket Chinese does the trick! I really like learning the grammar this way. It isn’t so daunting. I also have to study grammar as well, since I translate what I write, but this has really increased my confidence. Thank you! Xie xie!
I especially like the dialogue format, dismantling its parts, then putting all together. It is helping fix phrases in my mind that I used to have to piece together mechanically. I am hoping that this will lead to more fluid conversational skill. This is going beyond simple listening comprehension.
I gave the price a 3 star because I had to go online to find a coupon code that provided me 60% off the original price. I gave the customer service a 3 star for neutral since I haven't needed to call a C.S.R. yet
The interactive audio is excellent however I struggle with the writing component. I am not sure what would be the best way to learn written Chinese over the internet, but I know I struggle with the way it has been presented to me here. However I purchased this product to learn the spoken language which it is great to learn from.
so i tried this out and i really like the set up and all of the lessons i especially love how it can rate your pronunciation i think that that is really helpful it is also pretty fun i don't not enjoy doing it
I was looking for the best materials and the best sources for a long time but I didn't find what I was looking for. I have heard of Rocket Languages before but I wasn't sure if it was worth to buy it. After all I did order it and it was fantastic! All the materials that I was searching for one by one is all in here, on only one site! It absolutely did worth to buy it!
I've been thoroughly enjoying Rocket Spanish since my first lesson! My Spanish has really improved in the last few months and I feel that these lessons prepare me for real life conversations with Spanish speakers. I would recommend this course to anyone who may be traveling to a Spanish speaking country!
I'm just starting, but already this course is getting me excited about learning. The teaching style is easy to understand, and I enjoy the flow of conversation, and pacing of the course in general.
After purchasing Rocket Arabic I immediately went and bought Rocket German and Rocket American Sign Language. So far I'm very happy with all three, and am excited to have unfettered access to this massive wealth of learning material.
The grading system is all over the place. They have a colour coded system that is meant to reflect proficiency but it patently doesn't correspond with any of the lessons. I completed all the modules available, everything was correct but the colour coded system gave me 1 green tick and 4 yellow symbols. It makes no sense.
I asked for an explanation for this but the response made little sense too.
I think somewhere in the Rocket system is a great app waiting to break out but it is currently too cumbersome which is a pity.
They ask users to write something awesome, they are assuming people think the app is awesome when it isn't yet.

Hi Mark - Thanks for the feedback. The app has been completely updated as of 2019, so any glitchy behavior is hopefully sorted out!
