Rocket Languages Reviews

Pretty happy overall with the medium for learning. I often use it on the go, walking or driving, when I can't check the screen, so the spelling of some words are not obvious until I get time to review them. Otherwise quite happy.

I bought the rocket french course after a lot of dilemma as there are millions of language programmes on the internet, however, I don't regret on my decision because the course and its contents are absolutely fabulous.

Initially I found it difficult as I didn't had any basic knowledge but after completing a couple of modules I am feeling confident.

Quite good although the programme is not that easy to follow which makes it harder for me to buy.
I need a simple one with less computer glitches. Although this ones verbal pronunciations are good.
I also couldn’t understand jumping from modules throughout the trial.
No directions on how to get back to programme.

I've just started using the program but so far I am very pleased. I'll be able to critique it better once I move further along in the course.
Are you likely to buy again is one star because I only want the French course, so I won't be purchasing another, and Customer Service is one star because I've had no contact with anyone. So the one stars are not an indication of anything bad.
I have found the course enjoyable and I am looking forward to learning French. I also am fortunate to have a friend who is a native French speaker to guide me along the way.

This review pertains to Rocket Spanish and the Android APP. The short version is I am very happy with the format and content. My rate of learning has increased significantly since I started using Rocket Spanish. I will discuss the pros below and the several cons that keep this from being a 5 star rating.
After using Doulingo daily for 2 years (almost no missed days!) I am able to read some Spanish and have a fairly good vocabulary but cannot understand spoken spanish or speak Spanish well at all. I knew I needed something more to take it to the next level. After much research I decided on Rocket Spanish.
The pros:
Right away I am speaking Spanish sentences.
I can “hear” Spanish better. This has been the most fun for me because I feel I can understand TV, radio, and regular people (to some extent) so much better.
I love the lesson format. Hear it, say it, write it, know it (memory recall), and then the flash cards. I love the flash cards. The test portion is weak. Not going say it is a con but its 5 easy questions that don’t change if you redo the test.
I get as much help as I want on correctly annunciating the words. This is huge. I love that I can spend as much time as I want on correctly saying the words.

it's a very helpful attempt for the people who are interested to learn French...
I've learnt few sentences as um very new learner. if anyone continuously practice with rocket language apps, it will be easier to learn the language.
thank you.

Initially I liked the program. But there are some frustrating elements that could be improved.
1. Too often new nouns are presented without the prefix. To really build vocabulary, we need to know whether a noun is masculine or feminine.
2. Too often expressions are presented only in the casual "tu" form. Yet most of the time we would likely need to use the formal "vous" form. But that is not provided in many of the lessons.
3. Some of the vocabulary in the lessons is not very practical. It would be better if the words chosen for a lesson were those most likely to be used on a daily basis.
4. The program does not save your progress. You have to remember where you left off. When I log in it always takes me back to an early lesson that was completed some time ago.

Seems to be quite quick. I am enjoying it so far. Unfortunately I do not like being bombarded with asking for reviews of the course or offers. If there is anything that would prevent me from buying again it would be this. I ask respectfully please stop.

I love this program and I have tried many. It’s one of the few that I have actually stuck with. The repetition of hearing, voice recording and writing really help. I also like that I can easily see where I am in the course and my progress.

The strengths: - The program is mainly focused on learning useful German from the beginning, familiarising the user with common interactions they might have early on.
- The podcasts are entertaining and stop the learning process from becoming boring.
- Easily recommendable, and from what I have heard from reviews of the product, Rocket Languages seem to care about improvements.

The weaknesses: I might be wrong on this, but I feel that a basic explanation of conjugations comes too late, and at first you are forced to entirely learn new words and not to figure out that a lot of different words are just conjugations of one word. For me, I was already familiar with German so this wasn't a problem. I would then recommend to anyone who is using this product and is completely new to German, to learn about basic sentence structure and conjugations from other sources to aid this course.
