Rocket Languages Reviews

Rocket Spanish is a fantastic product. I have used it for about 1 month and I am beginning to think is Spanish. I think this is really the key when trying to learn a language. The lessons are the right amount of material and very repeatable. I like that I can go back to a lesson at any time. Very happy with my purchase.

Rocket languages is a fun, exciting, and easy way to learn languages. I guarantee that if you take a course or some courses, your language needs will be met. Part of learning other foreign languages is getting to know the language in the way that is easiest for you. Some may learn languages easily, others not so much. But, every language learner has their unique style, and Rocket Languages is a good way to learn languages.

I don't want to write a review at this time because I'm having difficulty taking the course because of technical issues.
I am in the present in contact with technical support to resolve my issue. My issue is this: When I hear a Spanish word or phrase that I am to repeat using the little mike icon, it doesn't give me near enough time to complete the word before cutting out. So, the other icon comes up and say "please try again". I am very frustrated with this issue. I hope technical support can fix this.
This issue just started up this week. Otherwise, I really like the course overall, and plan to continue as soon as my issue is fixed.

Shame on you Rocket Languages!
There has been some improvement but your system still keeps freezing, not transmitting your words and not recording mine. The little bars that wiggle and show the microphone is live freeze, i.e. stop wiggling, on almost every attempt. My playback does once again contain many more words than you are recording. Why?
I have been trying to work through 11.1 at the Doctor’s and 11.2 Making a Complaint. If you were a person and not a robot you would understand the humour in that last one.
Is it because you are a robot that you never answer my questions? You just let some time go by then tell me it’s all fixed when it isn’t. This is not online help - it’s a farce.
I do believe that you have some marvellous learning material but you are completely let down by the technical side and your lackadaisical customer service. Once upon a time you had some good lessons that I could access. Now I believe I cannot learn anything and my French speaking is actually getting worse as a result of having to keep endlessly repeating myself and hurrying before you cut me off. Your system is all up the creek and you can’t fix it.

The writing and recording features are very cool, and I like the audio clips for while I'm driving - I pair this with Pimsleur and find its a nice blend between textbook learning and audio learning thanks to the interactive lessons, plus being able to do it online is very helpful and gets my practice typing with the spanish keyboard.

This app has helped me so much with improving my Korean skills. I started off with this website knowing zero words of Korean and now I can not only read, but write it. It provides you with authentic accents and full conversations between native Korean speakers which make it easier to pronounce the words correctly and understand the way they communicate. I'm so happy to have stumbled upon a website that is not only affordable but also very user friendly. I would recommend this to anyone who is beginning a language or even someone who is unsure of where they stand on a language. It really helps you a lot.

I have learned many words using another (and free) internet program but my recognized written vocabulary is much weaker than my conversational vocabulary. Rocket's emphasis upon the spoken word is what I need to work on now. I expect to make annual trips to Ecuador for the next few years and definitely need advanced conversational skills.

I am an adult learner and have a real-life need to have a good working use of Spanish for travel and work in Central and South America. I have been studying Spanish for about 6 years so I have a fairly good grasp of the language. I have used all the widely-known, self-directed courses, multiple online resources, have a small library of Spanish books, even hired a tutor at the cost of $100/hour from Colombia. Bottom line in all of this, is that learning a new language is work- a lot of work. What you get out of your learning experience is directly related to how much effort you're willing to put in. I rarely endorse anything unless it stands out from the crowd or impresses me. I like several things about this program. First the price- it's a good value and a one-time purchase for however much you want to dive in. It doesn't continue to gouge you month after month. You buy it- it's yours for life. And if you're a new learner or even intermediate level, you will return to this as a resource over and over. Because (very important) you will NOT absorb every single bit of information the first time around. To think you will have 100% recall after one-time through is extremely unrealistic.

Rocket Spanish has been so helpful. The dialogues are good for listening in the car, and the exercises make sure you are thinking, understanding, and pronouncing correctly. This is better than any other language tool I've used outside of the classroom.

Pretty Cool software. Nice recognition and crazy points system keeps me motivated.
Much better value than Pilmsler in my opinion.
