I am finally learning Spanish. Love the way it is organized. This is an enjoyable experience.
Excellent product.
The voice recognition feature is not functioning well sometimes
Thank you!
Rocket languages really gave me the tools to succeed in my new language. My husband had brought me another Spanish App, but Rocket Spanish I really enjoy much better, it is easy to remember. I highly recommend Rocket Languages to all my friends trying to learn a new language. Learning with this system felt practically effortless. I will try to purchase this App before it expires its Earlybird Sale.
Great product. Very well structured, organized and involving. Voice recognition fails though and only somewhat useful and I had a feeling the app becomes dysfunctional from time to time. And also if the course would be adaptive - it would be a real hit.
presentation and content of lessons are easy to follow. keeping it simple is the key to comprehending and understanding each lesson . i am very pleased
Excellent!!! The only difficulty I experienced was studying by myself. It´s very hard to be constant when you don´t have anyone to remind you to study. It was also a good exercise for my english because I could study it all at the same time.
it would be nicer if the voice adjustment meter was still part of the program lessons (it helps out a lot, in correcting individual pronunciation): it was perfect with my studies at the University of Florence during 2012. I was able to interact with the people of Florence because of the tools that rocket language provided. Plus, pass all of the tests that was only in the Italian dialogue. Thanks
before going with Paul I realize and please to see how he does his work properly.
i love the lessons in this website also you learn fast and easy. then they also have good pacing skills.
My feelings with this course are quite mixed. On one hand, there is a lot of material and you pick up useful phrases from the very start. On the other hand there are several issues which in the long run are quite frustrating especially in the testing part
1) Apart from the Quiz section, everything else is clearly automatically generated from the material. This means you can have the same word repeated 2 or 3 times. In the "Know it" part there are cases where you cannot know what to say because two words have the same english translation (tourist).
2) Speech recognition is frustrating. It stops listening while you are talking, sometimes it doesn't want to recognize what you say no matter what (I even tried playing back the native audio from my phone near to the computer microphone, and it didn't even recognize the native speaker!) and sometimes it says 100% even if you mess up a few syllabes.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Michele - Thanks for the detailed review. Rocket Japanese is due for a full review in 2020. Most of the issues that you mention will be sorted out at that stage. As far as speech recognition goes, we recommend a headset microphone for best results, or the iOS/Android app.
