Rocket Languages Reviews

After numerous app downloads and other spanish teaching techniques I finally found something that I'm seeing progress with, Rocket Spanish. RS is much more thorough than the app approach to learning, with building blocks of real life sentences and structure. I've improved my dialect and most importantly my "ear" for spanish has improved.
On to level Dos !!

Rocket French is a fun and systematic way of learning French that has some fun and informative side notes on culture and other helpful hints. I would recommend it to others including you.

I am particularly impressed with the conversational exercises at then end of the lessons where I can really get to hear how close (or far off) my accent is. I had high-school french 60 years ago, and am now realizing that my accent was way off, and I can now correct it before bad habits become ingrained.

Rocket Languages has a large collection of lessons to dig into that are effective at teaching the language, and it's easy to use. The one thing I dislike so far is that I was use to using Rosetta Stone, and I loved the visual aspect. It would be awesome if they could incorporate visuals into their lessons as well. But for now the main thing I really like is the added contextual explanations for certain phrases and the fact that they make you have a conversation with the words you learned. My girlfriend is happy i am at least learning her language.

Overall a very good program, enjoyable. I enjoy the interaction. Very good pace. Not too fast, but not a glacial pace as well. I would like the dictation portion to be more precise, with more feedback. Something that could improve accent. Maybe allow us to send recordings to Rocket Language, to have specific professional advice regarding accent?

How satisfied are you with your Rocket Languages experience? I've had it for a week now and so far it is pretty good as a refresher. The various learning elements are long but it forces re-learning the material. The voice part leaves a bit to be desired as it doesn't always recognize what I am saying even though I know I am pronouncing correctly. I don't like that the Spanish for "I" is pronounced with the English "J" sound. I am used to the Spanish spoken by Mexicans. Other than that the pronunciation seems to be pretty good overall.

How likely are you to buy again? Yes, I would buy it again.

Are you happy with the price? Yes, I am happy with the price. Very reasonable for both level 2 and 3.

Would you recommend Rocket Spanish to a friend? Yes, I would buy it again.

How was the Customer Service? Haven't had to use Customer Service. Therefore, I rated 5 stars pending contacting them.

Like the structure of the course, particularly appreciate the interactive audio and pronunciation checks. Ability to burn courses to MP3 invaluable for learning on the run. Have recommended to others.

I had been studying Italian on my own using another product, but it didn't provide me with explanations about word usage, culture, or real conversational lessons with self-test practice that Rocket Language Italian does. I sensed I really wasn't learning the language. But with Rocket Language I can practice my pronunciation, check it against a native speaker, and even participate in conversations in which my voice is dubbed into the existing audio tapes done by the instructor. I just started using Rocket Languages, but I already know my pronunciation and confidence in using the language has improved. I am excited to find out how much more I can improve.

It is a great program and really helps me have the courage to learn my Chinese. I lived in China for years but I had trouble learning the language. The new Rocket tools make it easy for me to build my confidence by letting me hear myself next to the tutors voice. I will be using my Chinese more and it will help me to do better on my next trip to China.

I enjoy refreshing my spanish with Rocket Spanish, and find that I am gaining confidence and understanding by practicing daily with their tools. At times I do feel like lessons move very quickly and I end up reviewing the same lessons over and over again. I also wish the audio recordings gave me more time to add my response.I like the dashboard and the daily goals, they keep me motivated to keep practicing. I hope that overtime my spanish will improve!
