Almost Great
The organization of material, and its presentation are great. There is one technical flaw, however, and it is major, and inexcusable in this very expensive app. In neither the Lesson or the Conversation can you stop or go back to something that you are not sure of. In learning a language, there are ALWAYS situations where something specific is not clear and you need to confirm or correct what you just heard. It’s amazing that you in order to find that specific thing you need to double check, you have to finish the entire lesson or entire conversation, go back to the very beginning and listen to the entire thing again! That is a MAJOR technical flaw, and I am amazed that, although it has been mentioned by other reviews, it hasn’t been fixed. If that were fixed, this would be a 5 star app, now it’s only a 3 star app.
Audio lessons are a great tool to practice speaking aloud.
It would be great to have audio with the option of slow motion when listening.
Thanks for providing such a great application!!
I have already learnt so much.
I am enjoying the Rocket Italian language. I like seeing my progress on the leaderboard and being able to adjust the points I can earn each day. It's an incentive to keep going. There is so much information packed into this program. I read one blog and found some very interesting information to help me be successful. I now how an app on my phone "Tandem" that will connect me with native language speakers. They want to speak English; I want to speak Italian. A win, win situation.
I love it, I will love it and I will need it. Rocketlanguages is the nice one in mastering the language that you want to know. I have learnt italian alot through rocketlanguage and Am able to speak well. I say congrats to rocketlanguage for better grammar, the grammar makes me to write even to speak in the correct way through arrangement of words. it made me pronousing words correctly through listening the rocketlanguage's audios. the audios made me prolong some sound perfectly sure I thanks rocketlanguage for the far that brought me. I invite my friends to join rocketlanguage for better writting as well as speaking nicely thank you! thank you! thank you!

BANGTAN SONYEONDAN :)
I used to really enjoy these lessons (taking the Japanese course). The banter between tutors Sayaka and the original Kenny made lessons enjoyable and fun. Since I had returned from my trip to Japan I had taken a short break from practicing, but I recently jumped back on only to learn that the original audio lessons have been replaced with a super boring monotoned narrator. While the program did initially help me impress all of my Japanese friends, it no longer feels like I have lifelike tutors to encourage me to keep up my studies, just a robot with choppy cut and paste vocabulary being lectured at me. The enthusiasm of the lessons is gone and sadly so is mine with learning from this program.

Hi Christopher - We are sorry that you feel that way. The decision was made to replace the non-native speaker (Kenny's) parts with a native speaker. The decision basically came down to answering "what provides the best and most authentic learning experience for the majority of learners?". While Kenny has been a big part of Rocket Japanese we just thought that his accent compromised the voice recognition functionality.
it's an awesome opportunity to learn french thru rocket language. it is easy to understand. very well spoken words and very clear. i hope i can do the full version for me to totally speak my french. this website/ app is highly recommended to all the people out there who wants to really speak in french. this is a great tool to learn easily and have fun.
The Audio lessons are a great way to learn, the dialogues are very well done. And the voice recognition technology, while it needs some tweaks still, really helps practising to say difficult sounds and get the rhythm down.
Unfortunately, there are all kinds of mistakes in the Hindi lessons: inconsistent transcriptions, sentences attributed to a different translation, etc. This is something a good proofread could clear up, best by a native speaker, but even a non-native learner could help there. (Just ask if you need advice, i have some ideas.)
Finally, while it seems clear that formal grammar is not a priority (that's a fine choice), it should be reviewed by someone who understands grammar to avoid obvious errors that could lead to roadblocks once a learner eventually needs to take on the formal grammar points.
A completely worthwhile purchase overall! Bravo!

Hi Steve - Rocket Hindi has been under a review process for the last month and we hope to have the revamped version out within the next 2 months.
Rocket languages has really helped me a lot, I got to learn how to speak Italian within a week by the time I went there on holiday I found it easy to interact with Italian people and my friends and they were impressed! I would also encourage individuals to join this site , its not just an everyday class you attend, you have fun doing it too. ciao!
