Rocket Languages Reviews

I really enjoy just plunging right into conversational Arabic and leaving the grammar till later. It seems more like the way children learn their own language. I like the way the speakers are energetic and optimistic!
I strongly agree with another reviewer who asked that there be a bar on the side of the page that refers to previous vocabulary - so we don't have to scroll up-up-up to find the words we're looking for. You mentioned that you will be adding this feature soon, but his question was about RocketSpanish. Will my course (RocketArabic) be getting this feature also?
I have one more request. Is there some way to help us learn how to say the handful of "confused for each other" sets of letters in the Arabic alphabet? Like a video or a medical-type cartoon showing the position of the tongue etc when pronouncing these letters? The letters whose sounds don't appear in English are very frustrating. Just listening to them over and over is not helping me say them correctly. Kind of discouraging!
Overall I'm really enjoying the course though. Definitely the best approach to language I've ever experienced!

This place is OK but not as good as duolingo. I can not do any of the lessons as i am not a "full member". This is not for me thanks.

It's good and easy to understand basics things in Portuguese

I thought Acquiring a third language is nearly impossible at the age of 29 years. However, Rocket Languages made it easy, joyful, and fun!!

Great Spanish course! I appreciate the ability to move at my own pace. Spanish courses in high school were adversely affected by students who were not motivated to learn Spanish. As a result, it was an inefficient use of time. It also required my attendance miles from where I lived. My Spanish classes from Rocket Languages are mostly in my living room and they are conducted whenever I decide class should be in session. The software for Rocket Lanuage Spanish is also effective on my iPhone and I found the phone version to be very user friendly.
In college, the Spanish classes moved too fast, and frankly, I never could catch up. I never had time to go back and sufficiently learn a topic as "the class" was moving at the speed that the professor determined was necessary. That speed was always faster than what I could handle. With Rocket Language Spanish, I can pause the pace of a chapter and stay on a topic which I am having difficulty with, such as a pronouniation, and then when I am satisfied I have grasped the topic as best as I can, I can then return to complete the rest of the chapter. Fantastic! You can't do that in a group class.
I also enjoy the constant (and repeatable) mini phonetic prompts that accompany all lessons.

It's excellent experience to learn from this ROCKET LANGUAGES

It would be helpful for a quick reference vertical bar on the left for key word reference related to that page.
For example presently when doing flashcards and beyond it is an effort to scroll way back up the page to find the correct words.

The courses itself are well structured and have intuitive user interface. I also like that you often repeat phrases in next lessons.
However the performance of the web site and its responsiveness is not always very good. I had few days when lessons hangs and I also see that while doing speaking exercises it is quite often that it will not catch the phrase I speak even after 2-3 attempts.

I'll move to Mexico and just immerse myself in the culture and surely I'll learn Spanish, I thought. Nope. Even knowing a little bit of Spanish going in wasn't enough to help me converse in my new country. I tried several other programs, studied on my own, and memorized barrels full of vocabulary words. . . but I feel like Rocket Languages has really helped me learn to speak meaningful Spanish! There's something about the structure of the program that helps me communicate in the country I now live in.

Is it a little pricey? Yes. But it's far less than taking intensive Spanish classes and if I practice daily, have conversations in Spanish regularly (my goal is 10 convos with strangers in Spanish a week), and take Rocket's classes 3x per week, I note that my ability to converse, read/comprehend increases daily.

Amazingly helpful it's just wonderful i have always wanted to learn Spanish now I can with rocket languages it's just awesome.
