Rocket Languages Reviews

Started Rosetta Stone at first and did not like the structure of how they want you to learn to how I ACTUALLY learn. I purchased this after a trial because after 10 minutes of Rocket-Japanese I learned 5 useful phrases that I still haven't forgotten. With Rosetta Stone I was just confused because there is no explanation of anything you're seeing or saying. Rocket-Japanese tells you the word in English/Japanese and writes the word in English, Hiragana and Katakana. Being able to hear accents and pronunciation has helped how I sound greatly. I will continue to use this as well as supplement another useful tool.

Great stuff!

Nice software... I don't know if this has character writing for Chinese. For those wondering this is better then Rosetta Stone. Hopefully I will stay motivated and learn Chinese like I've always wanted to do! Take the chance I try this out, maybe you will like it

I really enjoyed using rocket languages! It was fun and comprehensive especially because of the audio feature. In a span of just 2 days, i was able to speak in Korean in a conversational way! More Power! :D I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends.

I am very happy with Rocket Spanish. I find it easy to use. The lessons are thorough and you can repeat them as often as you want. The only difficulty that I have had is with the software's ability to understand when I speak very short words, like "no". Even though it cannot understand me, I can still use the playback feature to assess what I sound like so it has not been a very big issue for me. There is a lot to do within Rocket Spanish and it is accessible anytime. You can ignore it for a year and then get right back it to it! I've also used Rosetta Stone and find Rocket Spanish to be much more suited to the way that I learn.

Rocket French has been fantastic! It's so helpful listening to an actual conversation, and then breaking down that conversation and figuring out what it actually means. I really think the Rocket approach is much more effective than simply learning vocabulary and grammar. I've most appreciated being able to focus on the pronunciation of so many new words, and really learning what these words sound like, so that I can recognize them in a real conversation.

I haven't had to contact Rocket about any customer service issues, so I have no idea what their service is like. I gave a 5-star rating for this, just to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Rocket Language is such an invaluable resource. I've been using it to brush up on my French and American Sign Language, while picking up on new languages as well. I truly believe Rocket Language is the best way to learn a new language and stay proficient in languages you already know!

The review by Debora Inklaar is pretty accurate but typically too cheesy american to be impartial. My own assessment having previously attended an evening class for three terms is that Rocket Italian is a better option. i'm getting on fine with it. Your implanted review doesn't need to be so cheesy,

I have tried to speak Spanish for years, buying into memorizing vocabulary with its gender and count, listing verb conjugation, breaking down tense usage, and referencing dictionary check. And yet, no matter how much I applied myself, I would fail miserably at sentence structure. I could not relate my thoughts to others. I struggled with verb tenses relative to mood and emotion. I used multiple verb sets to indicate mood. I was lost and would quit trying. There were times I would focus so intently on a conversation, a headache would result.

Rocket Language put my focus on communicating in Spanish, not memorization and grammar. Initially, I realized that learning how to pronounce Spanish words (sounds) enabled others to identify my spoken words and thereby understand my attempts to speak to them. I placed more emphasis in this area. I discovered that now, I could identify words spoken by a fluent spanish talker that were spoken to me. I realized that simple learned conversational phrases could be modified and combined to fit a variety of life's situation. More learned verbs could be used to convey more ideas, gain information and fluency.

I took ASL in NYC years ago and missed it, also started to forget... but the videos are a good reminder, easy to understand and testing yourself helps... learn at your own speed too. Really enjoying this :)

I tried out Rosetta Stone for a few weeks to try and learn Korean, but I hated it. The learning format was so confusing. I had no idea what I was learning. I looked up more ways to learn Korean and I found Rocket Languages. It is 100 times better than Rosetta Stone and I actually understand what I'm learning. 10/10 would buy again.
