Rocket Languages Reviews

Rocket French is the only course I have tried that succeeds in getting you talking. Many courses can teach you the basics as you sit in a class and take your turn to say something, or do online exercises but you still get tongue tied the second you try to use it in real life. Rocket French can get you past that.

I have 17 years in London with a French wife learning french on and off, and now live in France so need to use it. Learning a language in my opinion requires three things in general order (but even better if done in parallel) 1. A strong base of grammar and vocabulary to have something to work with 2. Speaking the language out loud to get into the habit of using it correctly without reflection 3. Moving to the country and chucking yourself in the deep end to expand and refine. Most courses can do 1, only you can do 3, but in my opinion after many years of french study rocket french is the only one that does 2 with depth and substance. Speaking correctly is also important, as although I have been speaking rough french for years that gets me by in family gatherings, only in doing the saying then writing that you really start nailing the articles and gender etc to really move forward.

It is awesome. I learned so much. I am still just a beginner, but learned so much sense we bought it. Thanks I love it so much. I hope a lot of people learn stuff through it. Rocket Chinese is the best.

I did some research before buying Rocket Spanish and the reviews were excellent, however I did not read anything that said it was all about South American and therefore some of the language is different. I feel it is designed for the younger people with little reference to the older person who only plan to go on vacation to mainland Spain. I also think the long drawn out conversation by the American lady at the start of each session is excessive and a little annoying, although of course you can skip this as shorter conversations follow and these cover all the relevant points.

On the plus side Rocket Spanish has been well thought out and covers everything that is needed to learn Spanish. I like the fact that you can jump ahead and back to different modules if there is something specific you want to learn, like the time or numbers. I also like to use the voice recognition and the conversation section. The price is excellent so I purchased the whole package which will last me forever. I do not regret buying this product and my Spanish is improving because of it.

Enjoying Rocket Italian. The flow of the lessons is good. Both the website and the iOS apps are quite good. There are some minor usability issues worth noting. 1. I can't find a way to speed up the recorded lessons which would be helpful for me as I have some background in the language so the early lessons could be moved through faster. 2. The flow of the testing on the web pages is a little confusing. Not clear when you've finished a section and when you haven't. As such, the badges don't appear as completed when I think I have done so. All that being said, I'm learning a lot and enjoying the product. Glad I bought it.

Rocket Italian is integral in my study of the language. I use several apps and online programs to vary my study and to avoid – as much as possible – hitting a study wall. Rocket Italian incorporates audio and text in a way that keeps it interesting.

Rocket Spanish was an excellent way to kick-start my Spanish. When I decided to attend class in Spanish, I was amazed at how much I have learned from Rocket Spanish.I am now working through the advanced course and am happy to find it both challenging and accessible. While attending class is great, it is generally limited to one or two hours a week. Not enough to become proficient in a language. Having an online course that is available to me 24 hours a day, means I can work on the language every day and can fit in lessons around my schedule.

This is a easy and simple program for anyone to learn any language at their own pace. I love it, thank you to the creator of it and to the public library for providing this awesome tool...I am very grateful...I'll be an avid speaker of Espanol rapido, uno ano (one year)...Gracias!

I am enjoying learning Hindi from my own home, the app is great. The interactive speaking component is fantastic, I am enjoying working on getting my pronunciation right! I like the points and badges they are good motivators.

I have already a long experience with Rocket Spanish course (I am following at this time the lessons of "Premium Plus : Level 2")
I liked Rocket from the start and , while a little tired now, my sympathy seems to persist.
I very much appreciate its structure , the conversations , the multitude of tests , all helping in the laborious task of learning a new language at a rather advanced age and, as I am not living in a country of Spanish language, without the necessary minimum immersion .

But, there are also some weak points, at least in my opinion:

The English versions of conversations are , again from my point of view, unnecessarily long.
I say "unnecessary" because, while all the personages have something interesting to say, and pleasantly so,(truly I like them all !), too many thing are said, some not having a justifying didactic weight in the lesson itself .
Telling these things, irrespective of how much instructive and amusing could they be, stretches and "burdens" these English conversations

Just one more "observation":
The tests , saying it, writing it etc., starting at too low a level , becomes too long, exceeding the usual attention span time.

I bought Rocket Spanish levels 1-3, after I already had a basic ability to speak and understand Spanish. I found levels 2-3 to be helpful increasing my ability to understand spoken Spanish, and increasing my confidence to speak Spanish with others. In addition to the language and grammar lessons, I found the survival kits with additional vocabulary and phrases to be particularly useful. I wish I had started my Spanish learning with Rocket Spanish, and plan on buying on Rocket French next.
