Rocket Languages Reviews

Just completed the introductory course in Rocket Arabic and it was very approachable. Arabic has a reputation for high difficulty but the way the information was presented in the lesson kept the experience from feeling overwhelming. I am looking forward to my second lesson after I practice the first a few times more.

I had a trial and bought 3 level courses all together straight way. It’s the best learning experience so far, better than the evening class I attended 8 years ago. Leaderboard points system, Voice recognition and reinforcement tasks make learning more fun and efficient. It works well for my lifestyle as I work full time.
I have used it for 11 days and I am very pleased with my progress so far. Thank you!
I am aiming to finish level1 by the end of the year. I will update my progress after that. Good luck everyone!

Rocket languages is a excellent way of learning a language. It is an easy, fun way of learning a language and the points system is great for keeping you motivated. The interactive audio lessons are very good, non-stressful, and easy to use. The pricing is a little bit much but either way it is definitely worth buying.

I took a regular class of Japanese for 12 weeks .It was very difficult. It was mostly grammar and Writing skills. By supplementing it with Rocket Japanese I was able to say practical sentences for many situations and develop some fluency. I was so happy with my 1st language, I added Rocket Arabic. It is very challenging but with Rocket I feel I am making slow steary progress pronouncing it correctly.

I love how we can practice conversations! ITS SO COOL im only 13 But rocket languages has taught me so much japanese!... I wish it was free then other people would go on it too , I was sad when my 7 day trial was over :'( BUT I LOVE ROCKET LANGUAGES. One day its my dream to go to japan and maybe even live there. So i want to become fluent in japanese. I use so many apps like youtube and duolingo But this is my favorite!!! I just wish it was free like those two apps thx for being amazing

I love the way the lessons are organized and how they build off previous material. I also really enjoy the multiple strategies used to help reinforce the material. The software that helps check your pronunciation is incredibly helpful as well.

So far so good. The reason I'm not likely to buy again is that I bought both Levels 2 and 3 of Spanish, and I don't plan to learn any other languages. I'm going thru Level 2, which is a little basic for me, but I really like the product and am learning a few things. Can't wait to get to Level 3, which will have a lot of new stuff. My only issue is with my Mac - the sound volume on my mic drops over time. It's a problem with my Mac and not the Rocket Spanish product, though, since if I restart my computer it fixes it.

I've been doing the Rocket French course for about a month and it's really helping me out so far. I cannot compose complex sentences yet, but I can comprehend parts of french songs texts and I feel I'm really learning the language.
Because I'm a native portuguese and fluent english speaker, many parts of the language are familiar to me (gender, pronouns and some nouns in case of portuguese, and many nouns in case of english) which seems to help my learning process.
I'm doing benchmarks on the end of each module to track my evolution and during each module I review the previous day lesson to fix it on my mind. The interesting part of it is that I can easely remember the phrases of that lesson and the hard ones become much easier (specially in a pronounce aspect).
I'd like to have a simpler way of adding words to flashcards (as easy as adding them to My Vocab) and to have lessons with no more than 40 words each (i.e a Rocket Reinforcenment of 60 words has 80 more exercises than one with 40 words), for it's harder to learn all of the content and it's more tiresome to complete all exercises.
Another difficulty I have is to differentiate some plural words from singular ones, like "elle" and "elles" which sound the same to me (at least when spoken alone).
Other than that, I really like the grammar lessons, for they are easy to understand and not boring at all (which is kinda surprising for me)!
Current streak also motivates me to keep the most days I can without missing a lesson.

I bought the French language version. Very good. I don't know about the other courses but I have a couple of reasons for not giving it a 5 star rating: 1. The pronunciation of the female speaker in the early lessons is often bad. She has a habit of not pronouncing the nasal "n" in the middle of words or in liaison word combinations. Consequently I use Google translate to learn and practice the pronunciation of these words. Google has a fast and slow mode which is also helpful but no male speaker option. Forvo pronunciation does but is limited in available styles. The best I've found is Acapela which has a choice of male, female, France French, Belgium French, Canadian French, emotive, flat, etc, but no speed option. The good thing is that the voice recognition system does recognize the pronunciation I use from Google etc. If I copy the speaker in the Rocket Language course when she uses words with "n" in the middle ( e.g. vingt, prendre, or combinations like "pas inquitez") it doesn't recognize them. NOTE, I am a native English speaker fluent in Chinese and Japanese. I have had many hours in language labs learning unfamiliar sounds.

I JUST BOUGHT THE TRAVELOGUE AND I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.!!! This version does not give the sentence by sentence AUDIO translation: first spoken in French then telling you what it is in English, which DOES NOT MAKE IT USEFUL WHILE DRIVING OR WORKING OUT. THIS VERSION LIMITS ABILITY TO USE IT BEST WHILE ONLY ABLE TO READ THE TRANSLATIONS. THE USAGE IS MUCH MORE LIMITED!!!
