Rocket Languages Reviews

Rocket languages really gave me the tools to succeed with my new language. It brought me to a level where I was finally comfortable speaking with native speakers and I was able to take off on my own after that. I highly recommend Rocket Languages to all my friends trying to learn a new language. Learning with this system felt practically effortless.

Living in regional Australia, I am unable to undertake formal Russian language studies, but this is the next best thing. It manages to cover all the essential language skills which is something I haven't found in a lot of self-directed courses. Self-directed teaching means my speaking and listening skills need extra attention to ensure I am always progressing.

My favourite feature is being able to compare my own voice to that of a native speaker—it has helped my spoken Russian immensely. As an ESL tutor, another feature I love is "language chunking". It makes forming new sentences easier, and I can speak phrases with a more natural flow.

So far I'm enjoying the course. My only complaint is that I'm not able to test myself on what I'm learning. That is where I find Duolingo superior (and also free, I might add). I find that Rocket is definitely useful but that on its own, it wouldn't be enough. A combination of Rocket, Duolingo and Yabla are what I need and have given me the best results so far.

I learn better when I understand the background of my subject. To that end, Rocket Italian explains the rules and irregularities of the Italian language, a nice contrast to programs that teach you only by correcting errors you make while learning, and without any explanation as to why you made the mistake.

In one week of Rocket Italian I've learned some things I didn't know after studying the language for years. That alone makes it well worth the price. I do recommend Rocket Italian.

I find that sometimes the time allowed for "repeat after Clair" is insufficient and I find myself talking over Paul's next statement. Also, it was not clear when I started what the survival kit lessons where all about and when I should do them. As I go along all this is becoming clearer.

I have a good base of Spanish vocabulary but I am a very visual learner and have struggled with hearing and speaking the language. Rocket Spanish, in just a few days, has helped develop these skills. I was able to begin a conversation with someone in Spanish for the first time, with confidence. I look forward to continuing to learn and be better able to converse.

I've taken other media for Italian language classes, including person to person lessons, but none compare to the effectiveness of the Rocket system. Some students learn by seeing, others by hearing and others by doing and feeling (experiencing). Rocket covers all three by showing you examples, having you hear them slowly, then having you write it; finally by "feeling" the culture and the grammar you get a rounded education as language is not just repetition but immersing in the culture. Also, their pace is just right: not too much at a time to overwhelm you - so they are "excellent teachers" and they make sure that different students, with different modes of communication and perception, will definitely assimilate the material. I was a teacher myself so am very critical of teachers in how they can "reach" and "get through to" students by covering different angles: Rocket has definitely figured out a great well-rounded teaching system... I am very happy with it and am learning at a rate that will ensure fluency before I know it. Thank you so much.

Its a fun way to learn and you learn a lot of vocabulary very quickly. Reviewing previous lessons as you go is a great way of ensuring that everything sticks in memory as much as possible, especially if there is a longer period of time between the lessons. Some of the sentences are rather on the long side to take in and some words it would be nice to see spelt out as you can't always pick it up straight away but overall a very good course.

I have only been doing spanish rocket languages for a fortnight but I really enjoy this way of learning!
It is varied and informative.
I had a couple of queries and these were answered very quickly!
Very impressed so far!

Rocket Languages is the best way to learn a language, right after having a personal tutor. The lessons are interactive, there a lot of tools at your disposal and it is very easy to track your progress.
