Rocket Languages Reviews

I thought that rocket languages for Arabic was good for what it is. Nothing can substitute actual immersion in the language with live native speakers, but shy of that, rocket languages helps one who has a busy full time schedule like me, to squeeze in a few minutes of Arabic every day here and there. I like the fact that the speakers are native and the grammar is explained explicitly, but I don't like some of the interfaces, and it gets a bit annoying how much chatter there is compared to actual Arabic during the audiotapes. But all in all, I thought it was quite effective and fun.

It's a little simplistic at times - I like to delve further into grammar to understand why a phrase is as it is rather than just learning it by rote - but the practice has definitely made a difference to my understanding and it's good to have some structure to my learning , living in an area where I can't access any physical classes. The speaking and writing practice are most useful, and give me something I absolutely can't get from the more advanced text book I use in tandem with Rocket Hindi. I would consider signing up for another language if my financial situation improved - it's decent value for money.

1) Great Customer Service: after completing my first lesson, the sound stop! No more sound. It was not my computer because I had sound on everything else than Rocket Italian. I tried the chat and a very nice lady (Marie) helped me. She found the problem very quickly. In no time, I was back to my lessons.
2) Very effective method to learn a foreign language (at least for me!) I love the progression.
3) I find it very useful being able to record my phrase and listen to it after: it helps me improve my accent.
4) Only negative point so far: tooooooooo much English speaking by the guy at the beginning of every lesson. More Italian please!
5) It would help having many different persons talking Italian instead of only two persons. This would be more representative of the real life.

Bottom line: I think that I will be able to learn Italian with Rocket Italian. Would I recommend it to a friend? Mmmm Yes, but with a little hesitation because of the very small sample of Italian voices.

the excercises are less,even too simple. Every single charpter is well,like order menu,book room,Say,the price is satisfing each one,and I hope it can open to everyone for free,that's exciting, or make some easy games or Words Puzzle; whatever it like , it make learner more keen to learning, and make a better memory,learn all word and prase by heart.

After marrying my husband (who is Korean) I moved to South Korea and began the process of learning Korean. Rocket Korean is a very affordable and enjoyable way to learn Korean; it contains common phrases that are actually used in everyday conversation, and also has several methods to make sure the information sticks after you finish the lesson.

I'd definitely use Rocket Languages again if I ever need to learn another language.

The audio lessons are presented very well. They are by far the best part of the program. The written tests and multiple choice tests work fine. The interactive voice tests are sometimes glitchy. As others have said, the website and iOS app can sometimes have issues. The iOS app is not as quite as fully functional as the website, but still pretty good. Overall, I'm happy with the program. I suspect it will continue to get better with time. I'm not disappointed with my purchase.

Its my first day to learn. I have bit background to this language. Now just familiarization and to continue learning the language more. Learning here through audio and written is satisfying. I would love to finish my free tutorial for a week. And hope to have the tutorial for more months. So exciting! Gracias Rocket Spanish Online for the tutorial.

I think the overall teaching style of this program is pretty great, but the execution is not there yet.

The major shortcoming is the male's pronunciation. I am a complete beginner to studying Chinese, but it's incredibly obvious his pronunciation is absolutely awful. During the conversations, I can understand the female perfectly fine, but I still can't understand the male speaker well even after studying the lesson. I also worry that I may pick up bad habits myself even listening to his speech.

Another minor drawback is that I do not believe there is a way to zoom in or make the characters larger on the mobile app, which is unfortunate since I tend to study these lessons while exercising on an elliptical or other cardio machine, so the phone is a fair distance away from my eyes.

A feature I wish they would add in the future is increased robustness of the conversations. Instead of teaching us exactly one perfectly scripted conversation, teach us variations. Most of the time there are a handful of different ways someone could say the same thing, so even if the conversation is relatively simple in content, learning just one specific tightly scripted conversation is going to be pretty useless once you step out into the real world.

Overall, Rocket Chinese is founded on good ideas and has solid potential, I hope it will strive to improve and live up to the potential I see.

I have tried every audio software and physical classes to learn languages; Rocket is the first course I have actually enjoyed and stuck to! The content is very in depth and engaging; I particularly like how they explain how the language works culturally. As I am living in Italy I found this very useful. It is the most interactive software and the various tool really make you feel like you are making progress while making it easy to memorise.

Rocket Languages caters perfectly to my learning style. I can't just absorb language by osmosis, I need to have things explained to me and I need to have it repeated.

Rocket Languages explains the subjects it's teaching without expecting me to have any background in linguistics. I feel like I've learned and retained so much already!
