Rocket Languages Reviews

I've been using Rocket for the past month along with a couple other language programs (Pimsleur, transparent, Duolingo, and Memrise) to boost my learning of Portuguese. Overall, I really like Rocket. The ability to download the audio is a big help as I commute a lot. The audio training is not as in depth as Pimsleur, but it is very good. The variety of lessons and the ability to jump around is great. The leader board helps to provide incentive to keep practicing which helps. Also, the entire program is very well rounded.

I sometimes have trouble with the record audio but it works most of the time. It is nice to be able to hear your own voice and compare to the teachers for accuracy. My biggest complaint with Rocket Portuguese is with the male speaker (Paulo). His pronunciation of words ending in "s" has a very harsh "sh" sound which is completely different from the female teacher and every other audio teacher I have heard. Words like "Bem vindos" which has a soft "os" ending are pronounced like "Bem vindoosh". I can understand that Paulo may be from a different part of Brazil and perhaps it is pronounced that way there. However, when every other teacher pronounces it with a soft ending you want to practice and mimmic the right way.

Overall, this is a great program and I plan on becoming conversationally fluent with Portuguese with Rocket's help.

The learning is very fun and very informative. The learning is much more easier to pick up on than other name-brand products. I am extremely happy I purchased this product over the others! I would highly recommend this product to a friend! I am picking up on German much faster than I expected. Serh Gut (Very Good)! Auf Wiedersehen (Bye)!

The overriding problem with Rocket Languages is the faulty audio system. I own a MacBook Air 2013 computer for which the audio is excellent for all programs except this one.

Leaderboard and badges contribute to a more positive learning experience.

Your program coordinates well with Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur. Each of the three offers something special.
Rosetta Stone covers grammar in an incremental, methodical manner - offering extremely valuable practice
exercises on a whole host of subject matter and syntactical patterns. Rocket Language is a good follow-on to
Rosetta Stone and Pimsluer and offers effective reinforcement of both types of learning. For some languages,
Rocket Language sentences are overly complex if introduced too soon. They are challenging to master.

I love this! I love this app / website! It has helped me so much with my German! My German ancestors would be proud of this. I would reccomend Rocket German to everybody everywhere. It is very helpful, and I have one thing to say. Danke!

Very happy with Rocket languages. I am currently taking the Spanish course but I am trying to switchover to Italian?
I am waiting to hear from customer service( I just contacted them) .....hopefully it’s doable.

I looked around for an online Italian course and I chose Rocket Italian. I haven't been disappointed - the software and lessons work very well and are taking me along my journey to becoming fluent. Through the course I am building a good base. I am now confident to converse with Italians through a local group. I love how I can pick up and drop down at home or work.

Easy to follow... voice recognition works great with my computer mic... feel like I could speak the words very well after listening to the lesson to or three times... would definitely recommend this course!

When I was using Rosetta Stone, whenever I opened it (and I could always find access) it opened to wherever I had left off. That would all be very helpful for Rocket language to offer and it doesn't, or I don't know how to find it. Perhaps I could get some help.

After few weeks of training I am able to grade the Rocket Languages platform, as a serious, smart and performance oriented way of mastering foreign language. This is highly recommended tool, that will be able to help you to learn a language while beeing able to maintain your interest and motivation levels up.

I studied Spanish in high school and again in college many years ago. In my 30+ years of working in New York City I was surrounded by Spanish - either being spoken by people on the street or written in signs on the subway so that I was able to maintain a minimum level of proficiency with the language. I wanted to become more proficient for several reasons. I do volunteer work that occasionally means I am dealing with Spanish-speaking people. i have also traveled to Mexico several times and would have loved to have been able to converse with locals there in their native language. I have just begun using Rocket Spanish but I am impressed with the courses and especially with the ability to access the training anytime and anywhere via computer or cellphone. I look forward to advancing in Spanish and perhaps Portugese as well someday.
