Rocket Languages Reviews

Great language learning program. I've been using it to learn German and I have made more progress then I ever did with Pimsleur, Fluenz and Rosetta Stone. The lessons are challenging and the recordings are interesting. If I was ever going to learn another language would definitely start with Rocket.

I just started with Rocket Languages, and I must say, among all the language apps and services, I've never been more satisfied with any program than I have with this one. It's helped me with my learning, and significantly sped up the process. I haven't had to use the Customer support yet, thank god, so I also don't have much to say about it. But seeing as things are going here, I would imagine it is just as good. I would certainly recommend this to anyone trying to learn languages, as this offers a variety of ways to do it, and supplies you with everything you need.

An overall 5 Stars from me, good job Rocket Languages

I trialed the Rocket Arabic module and was impressed enough to purchase the premium package. The series has interesting audio lessons that are supplemented with exercises and pronunciation self-tests. I'm only interested in learning Arabic for travel purposes - I often visit the Middle East - and this works perfectly for that. The series does not include heavy grammar at the beginning but does include the letters and extensive vocabulary. The points goal is helpful to keep me motivated to study a bit of Arabic each day, which is essential for language learning. I also appreciate that it teaches Egyptian Arabic and not the much less useful (for the traveller, at least) Modern Standard Arabic.

My only gripe is that they do not have a Levantine Arabic version, but this is a tiny quibble and not in accordance with what most customers are looking for, so it's understandable.

I purchased full French and Spanish courses from Rocket Languages a couple of months ago. Love it! Very affordable. Excellent layout. Love those little snippets of single words and sentences which you can listen to over and over again until it really sinks in. Great variety of topics and perfectly sized lessons on grammar for easy digestion. I didn't expect that taking all the tests at the end of the lesson would help me so much in memorizing words, phrases and sentences. Especially it is very helpful with French words since what you hear and what you write is quite different. Overall, excellent courses! I will definitely buy more from Rocket Languages in the near future and recommend it to all those who want to learn foreign languages with ease.

I like to listen to the audio lessons on my back to and from work a couple of times each. I find it really sticks only if I listen more than once. I like all the different kinds of tests available, and the language recognition software. This is much more challenging than a class you take in college, I think because of the language recognition. You can get by with terrible pronunciation in class but not with Rocket Record on even Medium mode. The only thing I found lacking was in learning hiragana, which I think can best be taught with mnemonics. I use two free apps for that and I learned hiragana very quickly with just the mnemonic flash cards and games in the apps. I also wish the website worked better in Firefox, my preferred browser. Otherwise, I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to others.

I've been looking to learn Mandarin for a long time. I considered personal tuition, classroom setting, correspondence courses as well as learning from tapes but they all only emphasized on spoken/conversational Mandarin which is not what I wanted. I wanted to learn to write as well and AT LAST I've found it. Thanks Rocket! And what's more perfect is not only can I learn at my own pace but I can always go back to review what I've learnt to ensure I got my writing right.

I also like the tests after each lesson so I can gauge how I'm doing.

I started my rocket Italian trial yesterday and now am addicted to this class. The style that Maria and Alessandro use to teach is just amazing. It's like being in a class with two ineractive tutors who not only are taking you through the content but giving you easy conversations that you can relate to. Can't wait to use my little vocabulary with those Italian tourists visiting. Bene grazie. ..

I love Rocket Languages because they tell one upfront that the Arabic they teach is Egyptian. Other more expensive programs do not tell you that. That's important because no one wants to learn a language that they can't use.

I am currently in college for elementary education and work part time. After college I plan on teaching english in Korea, and wanted to get a bit of a jump on the language. One of my favorite things is how you can star any word you learn and put it into your vocab for later. This might seem small but I really like this feature! The lessons are short but very thorough and I can drop and pick back up wherever I like, which is nice considering my busy schedule. I am currently working on the Hangeul lessons and really love how RK uses example words with the Korean writing and english pronunciation next to each other, so I can sound out the words as I write them. I've been using RK for a few months now and personally, I think the price is nothing compared to all that is offered. I'm very happy with this program and will continue using it!

this was the best tutorial ive seen around bar none. it's so easy, its a decent pace for those who don't know japanese at all. and its challenging enough to peak my interest constantly. I already knew a little japanese but this proved to me that i didnt know nearly as much as I thought. with such a complex language such as this I have so much more to learn.
