This is really a helpful tool to learn a new language. Especially for Korean where it is not a romance language and I have to learn a new alphabet. I love that they split up the letters into different topics so that it would be easier to learn and that they gave a small description of why that letter it and how it is supposed to be said as well as having audio and small quizzes at the end. Overall this is really helpful for anyone wanting to learn a new language.
Is the easiest course on the planet, even for me that I am Mexican I can learn French in English. Es el curso más fácil en el mundo, inclusive para mi que hablo español, puedo aprender frances en ingles, me encanta Rocket!!
I had tried Rosetta Stone for learning Arabic..I found it very difficult to grasp. With Rocket I began immediately to understand what was being taught and putting it into practice immediately. Native Arab speaking friends of mine understood what I was saying and even praised me on how well I am doing.
I started learning italian last year with duolingo, and found it pretty good especially as it's free. But it wasn't helping me much decoding real spoken italian. This is where rocket really scores: it drills you mercilessly at both listening and speaking. And it doesn't provide a 'slow' setting for the many speaking exercises - which is forcing me to focus on the natural running together of words encountered when listening to real speech.
I paid about £80 for levels 1 and 2 courses, which was a recent special offer. Excellent value for money.
The basic principles used by rocket seem very good indeed. Of course I can see all sorts of improvements could be made, but these would require serious resources and no doubt raise the cost. Well done rocket.

I had never found to learn a language so easily,it was as like we learn to speak during our childhood.
So,much play-way and interesting such that we forgot about the time and about our surroundings and day by day we found that we had learn the language.Really i am sure whom so ever learn from this is going to love it !!!!!!!!!!
love it! Makes learning a language fun and enjoyable. I was very hesitate to go with the program. But found it to be better than Rosetta stone and others out there. Not only are you able to learn new language, but you are able to practice them in different ways...
Took the plunge and bought the complete package after a couple of days of trying the free course. The price is good when you put it against classes, though the classes do help with one on one conversation. Before I started the courseI had some very, and I mean very, basic Italian and struggled with general conversation now, even after less than a month I feel my usage has improved. I have used Duolingo, and still do, it was useful for me and helped me when I moved to Rocket Italian. I am thoroughly enjoying the Rocket Italian Course - finished two modules and looking forward to much more. There are some minor quirks with the technology but nothing to throw me off the course. Sometimes after doing the test the completed doesn't activate and I need to exit to lessons then resume test again and do the one item that the system thinks I haven't done. I use it across three platforms, Android Phone, IPad and Windows 10 laptop, which is great as I have access wherever I am and what I have done seems to sync well across the platforms. The interface works well and I find it very easy to use and navigate. The course Material itself is good and even after using duolingo and also some other programs I find I am learning constantly with this course. The badges are great little motivators, though I do think they come a little easy. I definitely recommend the program.
In my pursuit of trying to study Mandarin, I have tried many, many, many courses, both in-person and online, and never quite found one that helped me stay motivated. In each case, I never felt like I was absorbing anything and would become discouraged really easily.
After trying a few lessons of Rocket Chinese, I can honestly say that this is by far the best course I’ve tried so far! I can not say enough good things about this course! Among the many things I love about it:
1. The price: the price is extremely reasonable especially given it’s a lifetime membership!
2. The course structure: the fact that the overall course initially focuses on oral rather than both oral and written skills. While I definitely want to learn the written portion and the course has more than enough to cover that in later lessons, I really prefer to focus on my conversation skills initially especially given that pronunciation is extremely critical in Mandarin! Many courses focus on both from the start, which ends up overwhelming and discouraging me.

Please contact customer support about the Siri issue. It is probably an easy fix. Also, offline usage on the app is coming soon!
I have bought all three stages of rocket Spanish and it´s amazing. It´s so easy to follow, i am definitely learning a lot. One thing i love about American companies like rocket languages is that they really know how to teach: it's idiot proof which i consider a strength and not patronizing at all. One of the problems i faced with language learning is the speaking aspect and rocket languages covers this so well, a lot more than Rosetta Stone that is more expensive and in my opinion not worth it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone; value for money and a lot of content for you to go over AND there is no expiry date. It's so nice to have this account forever and not on some sort of time share. I think that makes this a million times better than Rosetta Stone as i don't feel pressured to learn and can learn at my own pace, which is still fast but without the time pressure. I actually believe i can reach fluency with Rocket's help and now i'm more determined than ever. I am also thinking of learning Chinese and i'm so happy Rocket has a chinese version too. I have aspirations to be a translator and i definitely would recommend Rocket to anyone so is thinking on the same lines. Clarity over complexity: this is the Rocket experience. 100/100
I love that it uses phrases to teach the vocabulary and doesn't spend hours on learning individual letters. The ability to practice conversations and see how well you are pronouncing the foreign words is a great benefit.
