A generally excellent course - I love the structure of core lessons supported by reinforcement activities, and the fact that you can break up your learning into conversation-based and grammar-based modules. There is a good balance between formal grammar (in the Language and Culture lessons) and the core conversational modules. I like the way sentences are broken down by the speakers and there is a chance to repeat the whole conversation yourself.
The only problem has been the voice recording, which is sometimes faulty - it seems to not pick up what you say, even using the microphone, or to judge you poorly even on simple words such as "tout". I have studied French before so I know with words like that that I'm pronouncing them correctly, but the system rates me down. This problem seems quite random so I can only think it's a software problem. If it had not been for this, I would have rated Rocket French 5 stars all round. It is still a very good course though.

Thanks so much for your review. Regarding Rocket Record (our voice recognition software), we are currently working on improving this feature so that, in the future, you will find it to be more accurate. All the best with your language learning!

Hi Arohi, thank you for your review. It's great to hear that you are enjoying our Rocket Korean course. All the best with your Korean language learning!
I started with Rocket German several years ago but somehow got lost in the shuffle of time and situations. I have re-opened my account and find a completely new format so will have to browse the site extensively to feel comfortable but it looks very interesting and seems to have great potential. Thank you.

I like how I still learn something new in each lesson even though I’ve been taking Japanese for several years. It is also great that there are VERY important culture lessons offered. You can’t learn Japanese well without these culture cues. Occasionally, I have some issues with the system not marking the kanji all the same as well as the few times there is no answer input so it counts you wrong even if you aren’t.
Je suis une étudiante sérieuse et je uis toujours à la recherche d'un partenaire linguistique. J'ai 57 ans. J'ai fait un séjour de 2 mois en France en 2011 dans la ville de Dijon où j'ai suivi des cours de francais à l'université de Bourgogne.
Although I am progressing in the course, I don't like the fact that the introduction of new vocabulary (flashcards, etc.) is not accompanied by images and figures.
Images are a resource that helps a lot in memorizing new words/terms and it doesn't seem to be very difficult to include in the course, especially for the price charged for it.

Thank you for your feedback, Diogo! We understand that as a visual learner, having images alongside the flashcards might better support your learning. However, since our course caters to a wide range of learning styles and considering the numerous flashcards throughout the course, we cannot implement this right away. Please know that your suggestion has been noted, and in the meantime, we recommend checking out the Saved Vocab feature in the Tools section. This feature allows you to download a unique vocabulary list to which you can add your own images after downloading. All the best!
Rocket Spanish is quite engaging. It has a good mix of verbal, written and listening practice, addressing different learning styles. The balance between speaking and learning the grammar is excellent. Amy and Mauricio are excellent Spanish mentors whose voices are pleasant, easy to listen to and encouraging.
for practice sessions to improve one's ability to translate, I suggest showing the English first visibly separated from the German.
When I realized not every module had a audio portion I was kinda disappointed. I primarily wanted this as a audio course, and although there are many audio modules it's not every lesson. I am only 3 days in but it seems like a decent course though. Each module seems to throw vocab at you, but also some example sentences so it's nice.

Hi Jennifer, we're sorry to hear that you are disappointed by the other lesson types. We strive to provide our learners with multiple ways to learn a language to accommodate for everyone's language-learning needs. You can always choose to skip the non-audio lessons and just listen to these to help you learn French. We wish you all the best with your French course!
Well organized and easy to follow. Problems with microphone seemed to cause program to loose it's place in quiz. Once I learn the navigation plan it should be easier for me. I keep backing up and learning how to move forward. It has been a while since I used the system and the changes were a bit difficult to follow.
