I just recently started learning Russian wit Rocket Russian, and i have to say in only this short time I've been leaning, I've learned a lo. i would defiantly recommend it to anyone leaning a language .
I have used Rocket French for several years. The dialogue is relevant and the reinforcement lessons help to make connections that aid memorization. However, the voice recognition is spotty and does not always work, and it takes a long time for it to register. When I first started using Rocket French there was a feature that actually matched your voice to the native French speaker... very cool, but that is no longer available. The feedback given for pronunciation is a bit arbitrary since you don't really know if it's the microphone or your pronunciation that is the problem. I have tried several different microphones, but the result is still inconsistent. For the second level, I wish they had kept the same speakers as in level one. Since I need to review the lessons from time-to-time, it can become a bit redundant, but I am going to try the travelogue sessions to mix it up. Overall, this is a good product for the price and I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about learning a new language.
Really GREAT product!
I am using Rocket French on an Apple Macbook Pro with the Google Chrome Browser.
I am really enjoying the method and I am learning at a fast pace. However, there are a few minor issues that would improve the experience :
Sometimes when I playback the recording of my speech it is distorted.
When the sentence spoken by Rocket is very fast, it sometimes does not recognise any part of my recorded speech if I repeat it at a slower pace.
The Flash Cards ratings allow you to put what you think is the rating - Very subjective and therefore of no real value.
I was waiting until i had completed the whole course to write a review and today is that day. I can't praise this Rocket Arabic programme enough, i now feel like i am at an intermediate speaking level of Egyptian Arabic thanks to this. Being half Egyptian myself I had always wanted to learn the language as unfortunately i wasn't taught it growing up, so i thought i would take matters into my own hands and purchase a programme to teach it myself and i'm so glad i chose this one. I now feel that i will be able to communicate well with my family when i visit Egypt and will be able to understand a lot of things. The programme is well layed out and Hany and Amira are great characters, i had fun learning and listening to each module. The voice recording feature is wonderful and a great addition to the course, if i found at times it didn't work properly i would just refresh the page and it would work perfectly fine. I also like the fact that i can go back to it and go over everything i've learnt whenever i want. Thank you so much and i hope to see a level 2 of Egyptian Arabic in the future!
Rocket Italian is an amazing product! I've tried Rosetta Stone in the past but found their lesson plans to be boring. Rocket Italian is engaging and an overall better value since it's far less expensive.
I'm having so much fun learning the language of my parents and grandparents. I didn't learn Italian growing up as my parents wanted to be American. When they got older they regretted not having taught us. But it's never too late to learn. I took 4 years of French in high school, so some of this is a bit familiar to me, however that was many years ago. Thank you for making this so much fun.

Rocket Languages is a website that has filled my want list!!! Since the year of 2016 I've been looking for sites that would help me learn Korean but none did. I am thankful and so excited to learn. Now I will be able to visit Korea and won't have a difficult time trying to understand what people say. Thanks!
Very Happy with the program. It works great for my learning style. I tried a few other programs in the past that didn't work for me. Very Pleased with the product. Would be happy to order it again. Cant wait to try it out in some Spanish speaking countries.
I like everything so far on the trial membership, except for the "rating" task that forces you to rate each word of the flashcards. It's tedious and who knows how to categorize each word anyways? The modules are fun!
Your application is not running on Android phone. Whenever I activated microphone, program stops. I tried to run iPhone but it needs iOS 10 later. I can not run on iPhone.
I tried to open on Android phone using Google Chrome. But I can not see repeat button and score buttons.
I tried to run on Macbook using chrome. I can see all elements play, microphone, score and customer voice repeat button.
But I can not replay my voice so I can not compare voices. Sometimes if score is 100% can record and replay my voice. Sometimes it can not record and produce performance result.
Your performance is too poor. Your system must analyse word by word. Your system must show word differences and can offer tools to advise pronunciation alternatives. Also I must listen my voice. Your system must record my voice.

Hi Omer - I am sorry to hear about the issues you are having. As phones change versions fairly quickly there can be issues with the apps working on older models. However, we try to cover off as many older versions as we can. I would recommend that you try Safari on your Macbook as we recently extended the voice recognition feature to work on that.
