Rocket Languages Reviews

Only a beginner, on the first lesson, have spent 3 or so hours, reviewing words & phrases. I'm an old dog (60) and have some trouble retaining, such as spelling and remembering odd words like articles, and punctuation, so far, makes little sense. The extra phrases are hard, so far. I expect to build on those in the future, which should help. It's all new to me now, little to build on. Program works well and is immediately accessible. Have not used customer service yet but setup was fast and went perfectly — no problems.

I have been looking for a good Arabic learning program for a while. I have tried a few - none really worked. Then I found Rocket - and I must say it has been an overall good experience so far (I'm only three weeks into the program). The learning tools - flashcards, "hear it, say it", etc. are absolutely great and for that only, the whole program is worth it.
There are only two (minor) downsides to it, that perhaps Rocket could improve on:
1. While there's a very good structure to the overall program, I do feel like I could use some guidance as to how to progress (i.e. audio, then grammar, then writing, etc.). There is no such thing right now - or maybe I haven't found it, and some of the audio course refers to the grammar lesson that I haven't looked at yet.
2. A list of other useful resources could be interesting too. Pointing to websites or YouTube channels or what-not could be interesting to listen to more Arabic, too.

Overall a great experience so far, that I would recommend to anyone interested in learning a language.

My favorite thing about Rocket Japanese is the amount of practice it gives you for each thing it teaches. The repetition is very helpful, as well as the variety of ways it repeats things (listening, speaking, writing, flashcards, etc.). My only complaint is that the content is highly geared towards tourists, which I didn't know before buying. Many of the phrases aren't very helpful for someone planning to live in Japan.

This is a very powerful learning tool which allows you to pace your learning. Difficult parts can be repeated easily and it allows you to focus on phrases to practice during time when you are not using the software.

Rocket gives me flexibility to learn when I want to. And I can learn at my own pace. The lessons are fun and challenging with a nice mix of spoken and written language. The chunk style of learning is very effective in getting a quick feel for the language. Highly recommended!

I've used every language-learning product on the market, and Rocket is by far the biggest bang for my buck. The amount you can learn and internalize in a given amount of time is really quite astounding. You can spend years with some programs and never get up to the intermediate level. Rocket respects my time and delivers the language knowledge I need efficiently and effectively.

I liked the rocket learning German course quite a lot, the several types of ways it helps you learn, either through writing questions or having you verbally repeat it back to a microphone. This all contributed to high rates of retention of the words for myself.

my schedule can get crazy, but if i have ten minutes to spare while i wash dishes or excersize, i can learn a little bit at a time. this format is perfect for my lifestyle because it is encouraging but not demanding. i learn as fast and as much as i want to. the only thing missing is a quebecois version of french. maybe a couple lessons on canadian(or any dialect) french slang would help beef up this course.

It takes you step by step. You can start and stop, review and rewind on areas you need help with. It is vey helpful. They speak slowly and clearly so it can be understood but not so slowly that it becomes frustrating. I listen to it when I run in the mornings or am driving. If I go a long period of not studying, it still comes back to me. When practicing I verbally say the words out loud which helps a great deal. Great program.

It's okay, it should go into more detail and provide lessons about writing in Japanese, as well as the speaking ones. I like pie as well, make a lesson about pie and fat potatoes. That's it. Byeeeeeee!!!
