Rocket Languages Reviews

I tried a few chinese learning apps/softwares and finally took RocketLanguages as my primary. The 2017 Edition shows major improvements and is on the latest technological standard. So far I am very pleased with the course materials.

I have been searching for a Russian language app that allows me to learn to speak Russian at least to a good conversational standard, but which also lets me learn to read and write the associated Cyrillic script at the same time as learning to speak the words ... only Rocket Russian seems to allow you to do all three things at the same time!

I particularly like the voice recognition software that takes my Russian speech and converts it into Russian text, letting me see immediately whether I have it right or not. This is awesome ... highly recommended!

I've used Rocket Languages for two languages now (Korean and Japanese) and have yet to regret either purchase. Rocket Languages is, in my opinion, a straight-forward and effective interface for all of my language needs.

I even use the program to brush up on advanced Spanish skills from time to time and have seen good results in a reasonable time frame. No doubt one of my better investments of both time and money!

Being a Brazilian Portuguese native speaker, I was sure Italian would come easy for me (it is all Latin after all!). However, I couldn't imagine how glad I would be for this course. Rocket Italian offers a well structured method, balancing repetition and new lessons. The tools work perfectly, the audios are nice and clear, and the Forum is quite helpful. I am preparing to take an Italian Certificate in the future, and I know already this course saved me a lot of time and money on the way there.

This is the third Arabic program I've tried. I was told to learn standard Arabic before the Egyptian dialect, but it is a very hard language and my trip is coming up tooooo quickly. I'm so glad I changed. So many of the words are pronounced differently, yet sentence structure, etc is the same. My Arabic dictionary still comes in handy, my spelling is improving, (slowly), and my Egyptian friends are amazed how much my pronunciation has improved! (Much better than learning from someone from Morocco.) But the way the program itself is set up is awesome. The way the computer shows you exactly what letters you are pronouncing is pure genius! I may never get that Ra, but I used to think the same thing about the Kha, so who knows?? I love it!!

I really do enjoy this course, I love the idea of being able to do it at my own pace. A++++++
I am just about to do my exercise but thought I would stop by and do a review first to show my appreciation and to assist others in making a decision to choose Rocket Languages.

I love Rocket Japanese!

I've been studying Japanese for a few years now and the biggest problem I always had was that I had to keep switching between several different books, audio CDs, and computer courses in order to get a FULL education.

It was incredibly frustrating when I would finish a book or course and not feel like I had learned very much that I could actually use. Then I found Rocket Japanese - Thank God!!!

My two favorite things are that it covers ALL aspects of Japanese (speaking, listening, reading, writing, and culture) and also that there is an enormous amount of material. I invested in all three levels and it was the best decision I've ever made when it comes to learning Japanese.

Bottom line is this: if you are truly serious about learning Japanese then you NEED Rocket Japanese. I highly recommend it to everyone who asks.

Excellent interactive software. I wish this could have been available to me when studying languages previously. The interface makes it fun to learn and gives you motivation to push on for longer each day. I have recommended to a few friends now.

I find there is generally too much preamble getting into each dialogue - too much from the English guy especially. Ironically, he seems to be talking as though adressing an ESOl class . However, as a native speaker, I find his delivery and Uk accent quite amateurish. E.g he says "wiv" instead of " with" etc. just irritating. Also, I am disappointed that he is used in dialogues when his Mandarin accent is not spot-on. Just model the genuine accent by using a Chinese speaker for each dialogue. Also, in the 2nd Premium pack, the upgrade, I wouldn't have bothered buying it had I known it involved a module devoted to planning a wedding - relevant to about 5% at best of your the average audience.

Rocket Languages is the most motivating online learning program I have ever used. I have been learning Korean for almost 2 years and there are times when I skip a few days of practice simply because I lose interest. Repetition does that to you. The points and badge system encourage you to work every day and compete with the other Rocket users. It gives you the strength to go each day and have even more fun learning the language.

I've already recommended it to a few Korean language students I know. Hopefully they surrender and check it out.
