I like this because it helps me to learn different languages i've never learned before.
So far, so good. I have been using Duolingo, and it was good. But, I needed a change and a different method. My difficulties come with syntax and verb conjugation
I have been doing Rocket German for over a year and absolutely love it. Although I come from a family where my Dad and a few siblings are passionate about languages like Latin, Ancient Greek, Italian, and even Mandarin, I never felt like I acquired the genes for it. Worse yet, I spent years telling myself I wasn't good at languages. I went to Berlitz to learn French without much success and tried Duo Lingo for German, but Rocket German blows them both away. I even have fun with the lessons. I especially like Nik and Paul, the two teachers who do Level 1. I never expected to laugh out loud using a language app, but I have on multiple occasions. (Please bring them back for more Language & Culture lessons.) Sandra, Sarah, and Mattias in Level 2 are great as well. In short, this really is fun. And doable. I WILL be fluent. And it will be thanks to Rocket German.
It is an excellent program that reinforces what you learn. The grading scale is great and the native speakers give you an idea of how to say the words with the correct accent. I also loved that there is extensive training on writing as well as speaking the language. My only complaint is the software is terrible with one syllable words. You have to bypass the automatic rating to get these graded correctly. Everything else is perfect.
Rocket German is very comprehensive and helps you learn in multiple ways (seeing, hearing, speaking, writing). The grammar instruction is also very good.
Prior to starting Rocket Japanese, I studied the Japanese language for 9 years. I learned how to read at a very high level, but unfortunately was never in a situation where I got to practice speaking and listening. Everything I took in college was textbook based and there was little to no actual conversations. In each chapter there would be a very short dialogue and then that was it, off to reading for the rest of the lesson. Where Rocket excels is that it focuses on audio and allows you to say the vocabulary. This is helping me with my listening skills. Now instead of reading the Japanese subtitles in variety shows, I can also understand more of the spoken language. This approach to learning has helped immensely. I only have a few minor gripes with the program: When writing the Kanji for the Kanji writing section, I'll write it perfect, yet the program marks it as bad and then won't even explain why. It does this at least 2 times every lesson. The repeating section can be near impossible at times. When it gets to the last three, they're expecting you to repeat back a sentence with 10 words in it. I honestly don't have the memorization skills to do that. It doesn't need to be that difficult.
Me gusta mucha este aplicacion, el tablero esta por demas entendible, me gusta el orden del aula virtual, es imposible perderse, esta bastante bien adecuado, y me gusta mucho la forma de enseñanza, ya que nos permite aprender en base a repeticion de palabras, terminos y frases cotidianas, si vives en un pais de habla inglesa, Rocket Ingles es una herramienta perfecta para entrenar, practicar y mejorar tu Ingles, lo recomiendo sobre todo para personas que ya viven en un pais de habla inglesa.
I truly enjoy this type of learning. I would say that it is exactly what needed, a module based learning platform to compliment face to face learning. I think this has really reinforced a lot of the language skills I developed. I just know that with more time and consistency Rocket Spanish will help me get to where I want to be! Thank you. I'm so glad I found Rocket Languages after going through many other language programs. This one works best for me.
I am half Italian and Hispanic, I was adopted from South America and I never knew my native tongue which is Spanish. People have asked me if I am Italian and I always say I'm half....when in truth I look more Italian than Hispanic, I have always loved the Italian language and always wanted to learn, I helped my mom learn when she went to Italy last year and the basic words I picked up on quick, so, I had the itch to learn. Rocket Italian is amazing and I love it !!!! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn Italian or any language. BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER !!!!

Buon Natale!
Whilst I am not a beginner French student I selected that course to access gift beginner Italian for two of my seven year old grandchildren, who are proceeding with joy. The bonus for me is that I'm sailing quickly through the French course and learning a lot more than I ever did in the past. I'm grateful for Rocket's attention to detail, the beautiful pronunciation of native speakers and constant increases in vocabulary with interesting word lists which have jogged my memory from past French study. I have no complaints but only bouquets for your wonderfully entertaining and educative courses. Gracie tante/merci beaucoup!
