After marrying my husband (who is Korean) I moved to South Korea and began the process of learning Korean. Rocket Korean is a very affordable and enjoyable way to learn Korean; it contains common phrases that are actually used in everyday conversation, and also has several methods to make sure the information sticks after you finish the lesson.
I'd definitely use Rocket Languages again if I ever need to learn another language.
I have wanted to learn Spanish for many years, and have started several other programs but was unsuccessful. I purchased Rocket Spanish one year ago and have been studying faithfully and diligently nearly every day since. I thought that I would be fluent in a year or so. I now see how optimistic, actually unrealistic, that goal was. Learning another language is difficult, and it is a long term process. However, Rocket Spanish has kept me engaged and looking forward to each day's lesson, which I think is one of its advantages. I am glad that I found Rocket Languages, and I think it is a great value for the price.
I like that I can do it in my own time rather than being locked into lessons at a set time. It is also good that you can keep coming back to review the lessons even if you have done them a while ago. The layout has improved and I now find it much easier to navigate around the site
I really like this platform . The only thing is missing is more tests after each subject and lessons. There is a huge gap in quiz. You guys should offer more quiz. other than that Im happy for now.
thanks

Well thought out program. The chunking technique is brilliant and the downloadable .mp3 files are perfect for my commute in the car. I expect the program will be very effective in my learning French!
The software is pretty good so far. Eventually, more interactive speaking via unexpected questions or commentary to respond to as well as slang would be useful. Entire, paragraphs of speech (some of which I assume will come in more advanced lessons) to have to parse and then respond to in a novel way it seems would be effective.
Also, since language seems to be acquired more effectively through speaking, a way of separating pure speaking instances from reading instances of the same words and phrases, would be useful. Developing learning which does not rely on picturing words in the mind first when they are spoken to you, but a purely separate verbal memory would seem to be useful.
The drilling of the material in various forms is effective. The repetition that comes from it is needed; I know by other experience.
Again so far so good!
This app is like building Noah's Ark. It's hard at first, but eventually the work bears fruit. This forces you to practice everything that is studying the language. Speaking, writing, reading comprehension, naturally connecting associations.
Response from Rocket Languages
You've hit the nail on the head with that metaphor, Jaakko! While language learning can seem challenging in the beginning, for those willing to put in the time and energy, the payoff is really exciting and allows you to connect with people and cultures you never would have experienced otherwise. We can't wait to see where your language learning takes you!
The strengths: - The program is mainly focused on learning useful German from the beginning, familiarising the user with common interactions they might have early on.
- The podcasts are entertaining and stop the learning process from becoming boring.
- Easily recommendable, and from what I have heard from reviews of the product, Rocket Languages seem to care about improvements.
The weaknesses: I might be wrong on this, but I feel that a basic explanation of conjugations comes too late, and at first you are forced to entirely learn new words and not to figure out that a lot of different words are just conjugations of one word. For me, I was already familiar with German so this wasn't a problem. I would then recommend to anyone who is using this product and is completely new to German, to learn about basic sentence structure and conjugations from other sources to aid this course.
Great so far. It treats you more like an adult than Rosetta Stone. I never liked the one-sided approach in Rosetta Stone that I had to guess at what they were trying to teach you from 4 pictures rather than just telling you some basic concepts as well as some of the culture. It looks like I will get that with Rocket Languages but didn't with Rosetta Stone. So, Rocket Languages treats you like an adult. Reasonably priced.
I used this for almost eight months and Rocket Language helps me to improve my listening skills drastically! So definitely, I will recommend it to my friends.
