The package is very well organized and well-planned, but I find it confusing. After completing Duolingo and Santamaria's Synergy Spanish, I'm not finding my proper level in Rocket Spanish and the system doesn't let me move ahead. The first third seems to me not useful to someone who is at the early intermediate stage, and I can't find a way to get into the second level. Instead, I keep getting just the intro material, which I already know. Even at the intro level, some problems jump out at me, such as the sudden addition of past tenses, when presumably the beginner doesn't know the present tense yet.
At first, I was able to record, but that suddenly quit on me, and now I can't. It doesn't matter too much, since I was getting 100% every time on my accent. I will try to manage without that feature. Headphones wouldn't help, since I can hear fine; I just can't record. I would like to advance, but don't see it happening.

Hi Barbara - The tabs to the different Levels are on the left hand side at the top. You can do the lessons in any order, there are no restrictions. If you are still having difficulty please contact customer support for more info. Also, we do recommend that people use a headset microphone or the free app/s for best results with voice recognition!

I have just started using Rocket French again, after using it briefly before travelling overseas last year. Using it in conjunction with in person lessons to boost my learning as I want to challenge myself, and I'm finding it quite useful so far. The fact that I can use it on my computer, or on my phone while in the car on bluetooth is great, and I love that it updates my progress on both.
The program seems to have trouble recognising when I say "Vous" - But speech recognition is a great feature otherwise. There was an error with the 1.2 quiz, not logging my 5/5 result on the computer, but it did work on the iPhone app.
All in all and good product so far. Thank you.
I started learning French more than a year ago. It is quite an interesting language, though somewhat more difficult than some other languages for me. I find Rocket French easy to go with, structured, and with plenty of opportunity to practice. I see that after listening and practicing different sentences or phrases from the audio lessons, they stay with me. I am able to use them without much effort while practicing French in other contexts. The hosts are nice too, especially Paul and Marie-Claire.
One observation: when I practice the speaking, a few times I need to repeat the given word/phrase and it shows "Sorry, I didn't catch that. Please try again". Sometimes, of course, it's because my pronunciation is not be correct, but many times I give the same pronunciation consecutively- the first time is not right, the second one it is.
rocket languages has been very helpful and has taught me french a lot quicker i was than excepting. i have enjoyed the pronunciation which most websites do not have. i would recommend it to older people because it can be a bit complicated than you would think.
I like the format and emphasis on spoken language in the Rocket languages online courses. However, I was disappointed in Rocket Spanish because it is totally geared towards younger travellers going to South America, whereas I am an older person spending a few weeks in Spain. There was very little clear advice as to differences in pronunciation, grammar or vocabulary for the language as spoken in Spain - just occasional references. There were no systematic examples of polite conversation with an older person such as a hostess or landlady. I spent a lot of time trying to work out the polite forms of the questions and answers for the ones included in the lessons but had no way of checking whether my attempts were correct. There was no list of days of the week or months of the year which I got from a dictionary but it would have been good to have them included in more of the conversations - they're pretty basic.
Hi , i am so happy that i had made the decision to purchase this Rocket Chinese course (premium to platinum) .I had tried seüeral other online language courses prior to purchasing this one and i got to say that Rocket Chinese win them all.It is so comprehensiüe and üery structured learning that i am motiüated to learn .
I feel that for the price that i had paid for this course ,it is worth eüery cent .A lot of effort and thinking must haüe been put into the construction of this course.Other courses pale to this Rocket Chinese course.A thousand thanks to those who had put the effort in this course.I encourage those who had not tried this course to do so or you will really miss a lot.
I had made significant progress in my Chinese since i started weeks ago.Eüeryday , i had to at least spent an hour on the course else i feel that i am missing something.iN SHORT ,this is really a wonderfuland great course.Thank you.
I started this program as a teacher of Spanish, and having worked in a restaurant with native speakers of Italian, giving me a major leg-up. The program is good at addressing listening, speaking, and reading... I'll have to see how writing develops long-term, but they do have you spell the words. The semantically unrelated vocabulary (you learn words that are not all part of a "list" with each lesson) helps with retention. For what you pay, there is a TON of content. I'm curious to see the user forums in the future.
I'm also curious to try one of their non-Romance language offerings, to see how the acquisition is. Part I of Italian was overall enjoyable and easy to fit into a very busy schedule.
I have been searching for a way to regain my conversational Italian, that allows me to do so at work, at home and on the go. It took me some time after reading reviews and trying other programs to take the plunge and purchase Rocket Italian. It has not disappointed me, I moved quickly through the basics for a quick review and already I am back to speaking again. Great product I look forward to completing the entire program and having to refer to as I need in the future.
