Rocket Languages Reviews

I am thrilled with my Rocket Languages Korean course. I learn best by reading and writing, not by just hearing and repeating. Other more expensive courses don't provide all the reading and writing exercises that Rocket does. I do love the ability to record my voice and the algorithms that rate my pronunciation. That is a big help. But most of all I love the "Write It!" tool. That is the best thing to help me remember the vocabulary, as well as the pronunciation.

I love that I can study at my own speed, and reviewing whenever and whatever I want is so easy. It is such a thrill when I watch a video on YouTube or Instagram or a streaming drama and hear a new word that I just learned.

Rocket Languages is bettter than what i had before. The length of the lessons is very long for my taste though... ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;; ; ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Best learning app/ website I have used highly recommend to everyone but I don't know why I have to write like 200 characters for a review i might not even get to 200 but I'm going to milk it as much as i can it really is a good app i only have 7 day free trial but i am going to pay for the whole thing because it really is the best i have come across

Rocket misses the mark in many ways. Teaching phrases without a literal translation is not helpful. Ideally, one should know what each word in the sentence is, so that one can then compose one's own sentences. Additionally, the speakers speak very quickly and one can't really tell how they are pronouncing the words in spite of having them spelled out in cyrillic. Also when teaching color names, why aren't' there colors on the screen, or at least on the flash cards? And when there are nouns, why not a picture of the object? I've been learning languages for many years, and I like some of Rocket Language's features, but I have to say that Pimsleur, does a much better job of teaching one to actually speak and understand the language, and they give literal translations and help one understand the context and syntax of words. But Pimsleur only teaches the audio, and they are way too expensive to only do that. Rocket Languages does offer voice comparison, but I have my doubts as to how good it really is at telling me how close I am to correct pronunciation. Rocket Languages is okay, but not the greatest. However, it is affordable. But, their customer service isn't very good.

Thank you so much for re-recording the Japanese modules entirely with native speakers so that we can have an immersion experience in Japanese. That is so important. I found the original, non-native Kenny's voice to be very jarring. It is so much more pleasant to listen to the gentle speaking voice of the native male speaker. The format has always been excellent and I'll be devoting more time to Rocket lessons now.

I believe that the Rocket Languages Italian course is very useful and helps to obtain a basic level of understanding rapidly. I think that it is more efficient compared with now obsolete CD and audiotape courses that I have taken. It could be improved by adding a visual component, such as pictures of objects and foods that are mentioned.

I met a Italian online and just wanted to learn to say Good Bye said this was Free and I like that price FREE FREE FREE I AM ON DISABILITY AND NOT WORKING SO THIS APP IS NO GOOD TO ME AT ALL but if I had the money I would pay it Chow

I've been practicing korean every night after work for the last two weeks, and it's really fun so far! For me this program is way better to study with than with a textbook, because you have to actually speak and write instead of just reading.

Wow. Way too many FAQ’s, As a retired language teacher I was hoping for something that was student-friendly but not so in this case. Far too complicated re:Technology.
No thanks- think I’ll join a face-to-face class!

The microphone on the trial program worked fine until I purchased the Spanish 1-3, then the microphone stopped working. I loaded the program onto another device, the microphone worked, but the 'play' button did not work!
Very difficult to concentrate when there are so many technical difficulties with the program.
