Rocket Languages has an AMAZING platform and is the best I've seen so far. It may not be as popular as other language programs but it is the most valuable. I love how they ease you into the language and the Voice program IS NO JOKE. I'm learning Korean, and it's such a relief that the first lessons are introductions and key phrases you basically NEED to know, instead of having to learn hangeul straight away. Also, the voice recognition program is so cool and it improves the quality of your learning so much. I have genuine fun with every lesson and I'm so thankful for the Rocket Languages Team for that.
I've just completed a weeks trial and already I am speaking some Japanese! The language feels really approachable and familiar to me now after this week of introduction. I have no doubt that given my commitment, motivation and drive, together with the Rocket Languages program, I absolutely WILL be having a conversation with my Japanese friends in 8 months.
I looked into different options, from intensive Chinese lessons to online applications like Rocket languages. Ultimately, I realized that I was going to get the same learning without spending thousands of euro. This application is superbly done and the voice recognition is simply amazing. I strongly recommend. I'm making great progress and feel that I'm going to be able to survive on my next trip and more...
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.
