Rocket Languages Reviews

Still learning about how to use the app. It seems to work well on my Android phone, and voice recognition does not work on my iPad. I wish I could explore more alternate words and phrases that seem commonly used...according toSpanish speakers I attempt to engage.

Too early for a review, I'm still doing the six day trial. The audio lessons are good but I'm finding the rest of the site difficult to navigate. That will most likely improve with practice.

My reason for wanting to learn Spanish is that I have a grandaughter who is just six months old. Her Father, my son, will talk to her only in English and her Mother, who is fluent in both languages, will speak only Spanish. People have told me that infants and older people learn languages at about the same rate so I'm going to see how well I can keep up with her. (Of course, already being an English speaker, I'm starting with a significant advantage).

So far Rocket French is a exciting, and user-friendly course. It keeps you on your toes and hungry to learn more.I may have only known two words of French before I started, however I hope to be fluent by the time I'm finished.

It has only been two days but I am beginning to get to grips with Espanol. I like that you can go at your own pace. Also, it is good fun! I have had quite a few laughs even though a lot of them are at my expense!

at first i was skeptical because of the high price but i am very satisfied with my experience. the dialogue is a bit too cringy at times but overall the exercises is very good i had fun learning new words and phrases using the microphone voice detection and the different quizzes after the audio lesson i recommend the program and will likely try to learn other languages on this site.

I was happy about the course. teaching was nice. I enjoyed the learning.

I have used Rocket French for several years. The dialogue is relevant and the reinforcement lessons help to make connections that aid memorization. However, the voice recognition is spotty and does not always work, and it takes a long time for it to register. When I first started using Rocket French there was a feature that actually matched your voice to the native French speaker... very cool, but that is no longer available. The feedback given for pronunciation is a bit arbitrary since you don't really know if it's the microphone or your pronunciation that is the problem. I have tried several different microphones, but the result is still inconsistent. For the second level, I wish they had kept the same speakers as in level one. Since I need to review the lessons from time-to-time, it can become a bit redundant, but I am going to try the travelogue sessions to mix it up. Overall, this is a good product for the price and I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about learning a new language.

Over the years, I have used Rosetta Stone, Babbel and now Rocket. Rocket is what I have been using to learn Italian as I used Rosetta Stone for Spanish mainly. There are things about this I like for learning but I feel this pushes too far toward memorization and not concept or forming sentences and mental recall. I have been doing the daily lesson for 3 straight weeks. I have a good bank of vocabulary, but I am struggling forming sentences for the most part. I will see this through Level 1 for sure and most likely 2, to see how effective it is. I felt more progress at this point through Rosetta stone and their style of learning, but I did it for 6 months daily. Time will tell for Rocket but I am going to go into with my mind open and following their method.

Overall this program is excellent. The lessons make sense and the progression seems natural. The only major problem with the course is the voice recognition. It's terrible. Obviously if I was a great speaker of Mandarin I wouldn't need this program, but even when I'm really close to the right pronunciation, it doesn't register it as correct. It sometimes stops recording before I've finished speaking (especially on the longer sentences), and sometimes out of frustration I've spoken gibberish, not even close to the right sounds, and it gave me 100%.
So I treat the voice recognition like an audio book. Just repeat, but the feedback is totally meaningless. I'm happy with my purchase since I was able to buy this program on sale.

Es buno aunque aveces como que no teb escuch y tienes q repetir varias vexes , Unque no es ran malo porque practicas tu pronunciation
