Rocket Languages Reviews

Rocket Spanish is well organized and fairly easy to use. I definitely like the experience and the process. HOWEVER - They are very wishy-washy with the meanings of phrases. In an effort to teach you different phrases to say the same thing, the designers forget that words have meaning. For example, early in the lessons you discuss someone's job. They tell you that the question, "What do you do?" can be asked ?Que haces?, which is correct. Unfortunately, they also tell you that you can say, ?En que trabajas?, which is not correct. That phrase means, "What is your work?". It may sound like I'm knit-picking, bc in the context of the conversation, either phrase will do, but it is confusing when I don't know what you are asking for. In the testing, it asks me to say in Spanish "What do you you?", but it says that I was incorrect bc I responded ?Que haces?. - WHICH IS CORRECT!! The designer of the course wanted me to say ?En que trabajas?. The student isn't a mind reader, and when he/she tries to apply the words learned, it is easy to get confused. Again, words have meaning. It is lazy to say that it is "close enough", when it is in-fact no where near what you are trying to say.

I've been learning French on my own for 5 years, and although my reading/writing skills are an upper intermediate level, my comprehension/oral skills are not sufficient for getting by in France. Rocket French is changing that after only 1 module! By far, the best comprehension skills program I've seen.

The price isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for, and with Rocket French, you get a lot! And I like the humor - it's good to break out into a laugh during the lesson. Definitely recommend!

You can learn Spanish so easy with this site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I learned it in one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would recommend it to anyone trying to learn another language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the program is pretty decent. Using Rocket will definitely increase proficiency. The most frustrating part of the platform by far is the new voice recording system -it's extremely slow and very un-responsive. It slows down the whole learning process. Customer service is cumbersome process but based on the cost of the program, it's not fair to expect that much.

Your program is fine and efficient. Nevertheless the dialogues are a little boring ("Beijing seems to be a big city" , well, who doesn't know it?) and there is a BIG mistake in lesson 5.5 Places worth checking out in Beijing (the quizz) : the Great Wall of China CANNOT be seem from the moon ! Check it if you don't believe me. It's a myth !!!

Hello Rockets,
Am so glad i found this because am very bad with languages but like the name suggests @Rocket -everything just rockets into my brain and am really having a great time learning Chinese that i even laugh at myself alone.

I have tried many different language programs. They were too boring or expensive. Of the many attempted, only the Rocket program has keep me interested and motivated to make my conversational skills fluent. I plan to take many more courses with this system and would recommend to anyone who wants to learn one of their languages easily and completely. Considering the lifetime access for necessary periodic review, the package cannot be beat by any other language program.

I am the world's worst language student, yet the materials of Rocket French (and the way they are presented) are so good that they keep drawing me back. I have tried a plethora of ways to learn French, but Rocket French is the only course that stands any chance of getting me to stick at at. Why? Because of its up-beat presentation, its relevance to the needs of learners of the language, and the quality of its sound files and study notes. It's all there: you just need to turn up in front of the computer and log on!

I bought Rocket Languages to learn Italian. I have found it an excellent resource especially with the microphone and pronunciation rating. With my Aussie accent the program makes me more aware of the way I need to speak for a 100% score on my speech.

The program is extensive and now that I am back from my Italian Holiday I look forward to learning more ready for next years trip. I love ❤️

I only did the free trial and it looks like a premium product already (finished first 2 lessons using all the tools), you can´t get access to the supplementary material only (which is obvious as it´s too good to be free) but the rest is all there: audio lessons which are self-paced and very nicely taught by Nik and Paul, the voice recognition part so you can try and get results on your pronunciation comparing yourself to the native speaker (it works really!), the good idea of having all translated so no need to guess, and finally the tests and quiz so you can see how much you could improve. There is no time limitation on the trial which is great, but once you get to the culture lessons you´ll need the full version but more than willing to pay after being a high-quality product. Keep the good work!
