Rocket Languages Reviews

So far level 1 of Rocket Italian is pretty easy. Spanish is my native language. My only concern is if the later modules will go more in depth into Italian slang (depending on region). From personal experience I find that most people who learn Spanish later in life use terminology that native speakers don't use. Or don't understand "improper" Spanish. Also out of curiosity, have you guys considered offering a rated-R version of Rocket language learning? Lol

Rocket Languages is awesome. You can listen, write, and even quiz yourself while learning new words in a fun way.

I've taken both Busuu and Rocket Russian. I feel that I'm making more progress with the Rocket program. I'm being pushed to read it, listen to it, speak it and write it. Busuu didn't push me as hard, however it did let me interact with native speakers in Russia and the other former Soviet states, who corrected my lessons. I could have gone as far as I wanted once in contact with those speakers. However, without the grammatical structure in place, I found it very hard to try speaking or writing it. But I'd have to say that the immediate feedback on my pronunciation in Rocket is something immensely valuable and I love being pushed to write it as well. With so many ways to review and refine, it really cements the language into my 67 year old brain, which already has mastered Spanish, achieved a working knowledge of French and German, and now, the piece de resistance, Russian. Luvin' it.

I like an love this Roket . I suggest many of my friend . I only feel this is the bestw ay to learn any language . But price always high . need low price for the people in aisa .

This is a good way to teach people a new language, it requires you to actually speak the language and builds off what you learned, so you don't forget it.

It's a great way to learn a language with a real emphasis on speaking. You feel you are making progress quickly.

I have previously bought the French course which is excellent. I have not started my Korean lessons yet, but I have checked the structure of the course and it is excellent in comparison to other online courses as I have bought other courses. I am sure that I will learn Korean and Mandarin with you guys. Thank you!

My product review should be understood in the context of a man in his 70s struggling to learn a new language. Before purchasing the premium version of Rocket French, I had used Duo, Babbel, and taken an introductory course at a local community college. Duo is easy enough, not demanding. It is a source of vocabulary, but one can put in many hours without confidence of using the words in speech. Babbel promised more interaction, but the speech sensitivity is seriously flawed. Otherwise the program is brisk and challenging. My college class showed that one's hearing in late retirement is unreliable, so keeping up with students less than ⅓ of my age was troubling.
Rocket French requires lots of oral practice, which the others lack. The tablet version of the program (I use a new iPad Pro with gobs of memory) has a problem similar to Babbel's, where the end of sentences are ignored. I can test this by just repeating the phrases that are missed and it translates those just fine. On my desktop iMac, the program works just fine.
Rocket French is more expensive than the other drills, and quite possibly less costly to create. I find that the method is engaging and leans more directly on the need to listen and speak. It has become my primary learning tool.

According to me it is extremely good because someone is able to learn the pronunciation of the words in French and at the same time learning to to write in friend.. It is a good learning tool really.... Absolutely awesome

I've only been using Rocket French for 6 days, several hours per day, but I really like the balance of the approach so far. They don't give you too much to absorb at any one time, and they do a good job of going over it from different angles to aid your comprehension and retention. It's a casual, but effective approach. I've had no issues using Firefox, although the voice recognition isn't there, but I have no problems evaluating my own pronunciation by comparing it to the audio. I did have problems with Edge. Haven't used it with Safari yet.
