Great program. I like the flow of the modules and the flixibility the mobile app offers. The only issue I have is that the voice recongnition is a little finnicky. It will give 100% sometimes even though I clearly misspronounced or even left a word out. It will also fail to recognize a word in one sentance but then pick it up in others.
I really enjoy Rocket Languages, there is a ton of content! Speech recognition works very well!
I find the course very well constructed. However, the silly small talk in the interactive lessons are annoying. I fast forward past the music and small talk about things that have nothing to do with the lesson to get to the real content and it is irritating to the focussed student.
I didn't like the program. It's mostly translating into English. I spent more time listening to the dialogue in English than Italian. Even the Italian girl speaks more English than Italian. A waste of time and money
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Cecilia - Thanks for your feedback. There is a fair amount of English in the first lessons as the Italian usage needs to be explained. As you progress to higher levels there is less English, and in fact the Rocket Italian Travelogues are very conversational with the audio available in 100% Italian.
Rocket japan is great, I haven't finished yet but I can already talk to my Japanese classmates. I had purchased it during a sale and got all 3 levels for 150 which for me made it a good deal but after using it I definitely would have bought it at full price. definitely recommend this if you're on the fence between two different programs rocket japan is just so polished, not to mention they have an app that works amazingly well. 10 out of 10 I recommend.
Finally I found the right course to learn Russian.
Wonderful learning tool. Maria and Alexsandro are great. arrivederci
Seeing all the rave reviews makes me wonder if there's something wrong with me. I am not a linguistic novice; I am a native speaker of English but a fluent speaker of Korean, I majored in linguistics in graduate school, and I've studied several languages both in university classes and on my own. But I'm having a hard time making any progress in Rocket Chinese. Eleven- or twelve-morpheme sentences are just too long for a beginner in the language. And while Lin Ping's spoken examples are very clear and easy to understand, David always sounds like his mouth is full of food and everything runs together. (I'm sure his Chinese is very good, but Chinese itself tends to sound like that to start with. It's just really frustrating.)
I bought the complete premium course and am wondering if I made a terrible decision.
I love this site! I have learned a lot more in japanese here than duolingo!
Great and very good software platform to learn French from scratch.
I would appreaciate a lot if you could record videos to explain grammar and languages rules by your teachers. It would also be fantastic to have videos instead of just audio files about conversations.
At last, I would appreciate a clearer path to know exactly what to do each day ("way of fools"...).
With that you would have 5 stars without hesitate. The best software platform I've seen to learn a language.
Keep on going guys!!!
