This is hands down the best online Russian language learning tool. The speech recognition is outstanding, the course in general is so comprehensive, and Customer Service is an absolute pleasure to work with. Everything is just incredible!!
I am learning russian. A very hard language. The courses are good, but i have just begun. I like that when I mispronounce a word, it shows me the spelling of the sounds i am making. That way, i can see how my pronunciation would be spelled,. especially since my pronunciation is terrible. I am learning slowly. I like the program, I do wish it did each of the of the alphabet sounds with me before going into words so that i could more easily memorize the alphabet. and that there were flashcards of just the alphabet.
Rocket seems to be the best I've seen with audio and pronunciation practice. While competitors (which I also use) focus on vocab and visual learning, Rocket actually tells you the rules, what every detail and nuance is, and what and why it is that way, which makes remember how to use those vocab words much more useful. I wish there was more visual learning included, but it's been not too big of an issue for me.
I can read French and chose Rocket French because I needed to learn how to pronounce the language correctly and acquire conversational skills for an upcoming visit to France. The course meets these needs and is well structured; words and grammar from early lessons come back in later ones to reinforce what I've learned (or forgotten). The phone app is especially valuable because it uses speech recognition to grade my pronunciation and catch my errors; I wish the browser version did this as well.
The user interface makes it easy for me to report problems and the staff is very responsive in either referring them to the development team or clarifying things I misunderstood.
This corse really makes sure you get visual learning, audio learning, and spoken learning including grammar. Im loving it so far it feels like I'm in school again with a strong curriculum to follow unlike other corses that has no curriculum and guidance.
So far so good, although I'm in the beginning and it goes slow.
It's difficult to connect the words to meaning, so I have some difficulty. Maybe lacking some images.
But I like and would recommend.
the conversational and listening drills are awesome
since i'm being asked to write a review every 2 seconds, which is interrupting my course i'll go ahead and do it now. there is way too much emphasis on speaking for such absolutely abhorent speech recognition. i already know a lot of beginner spanish as i'm living in colombia with my colombian girlfriend. even she couldn't get the voice recognition to register a word half the time.
also, there are just too many flashcards, spelling words, voice recognition parts after each story lesson. i just listened to a 20 minute audio file about how to say hello. then you continue on with flashcards and pronunciation that has absolutely nothing to do with the audio
Rocket Languages is one of the easy and simple platform to study any language
I appreciate how there is a lifetime membership option for those who hate the headaches and stress related to subscription based language apps. I myself am committed to achieving fluent Mandarin, and needed an in-depth course that would cover all the bases. Rocket Chinese consistently exceeds my expectations in format, material, and professionality. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to get serious in their language learning, or even supplement what they are learning with a live teacher, (like myself). It's worth every penny!
