I enjoy refreshing my spanish with Rocket Spanish, and find that I am gaining confidence and understanding by practicing daily with their tools. At times I do feel like lessons move very quickly and I end up reviewing the same lessons over and over again. I also wish the audio recordings gave me more time to add my response.I like the dashboard and the daily goals, they keep me motivated to keep practicing. I hope that overtime my spanish will improve!
I speak German fluently & can get by in Norwegian. Studied Latin in high school for 2 years. I first bought the Rocket Language casettes & found them helpful several years ago though I did not have enough time to fully appreciate them. However, with the adjunct help of the "Rocket Spanish Beginners' Book" I experienced an increase in my interest as well as abilities.
Only a beginner, on the first lesson, have spent 3 or so hours, reviewing words & phrases. I'm an old dog (60) and have some trouble retaining, such as spelling and remembering odd words like articles, and punctuation, so far, makes little sense. The extra phrases are hard, so far. I expect to build on those in the future, which should help. It's all new to me now, little to build on. Program works well and is immediately accessible. Have not used customer service yet but setup was fast and went perfectly — no problems.
I am currently learning arabic, and have bought a couple of books. One of them recommended this cours, and I am very happy with it. This course focuses on egyptian arabic, but one of my other courses, namely Pimsleur modern standard arabic is a bit different in some aspects. This can be a bit confusing.
Very good interaction, even though there is no actual interaction with a live person. The testing is excellent with repetition of phrases. One thing I would like is a vocabulary list for each lesson.
I enjoy these lessons very much. They are easy to use and learn from. The annunciation, for the most part, is very understandable and easy to repeat after. I enjoy the quizzes and wish I had a microphone attached to my computer so I could record my own phrases.
I'm an intermediate beginner learner and I got Rocket Korean in hopes that it would advance my level at a quicker pace than using a text book. What I have found is that it takes just as long if not two times as long to complete a lesson on here but when I do have time it is a very thorough, effective way to learn.
I feel that this is a pretty good intro course for Learning Korean. The saying and repeating of phrases is useful, though the conversations depicted in each lesson I feel, won't carry out the same way in real life. They're not typical conversations you'd have with Koreans you don't know, or even things you'd say to ones you do know, but you need some form of speaking to progress in any language. The testing areas reinforce what's been discussed, so if you're not advancing, you're not trying! Don't forget to buy some kind of computer microphone or you won't be able to perform the speaking part of every lesson. Also, when will there be level 2 and 3 for Korean? I'll likely buy them.
overall it's an excellent product with a wide range of tools to encourage you to learn and practice. I particularly like the constant opportunities to speak and repeat which for me is the only way to properly learn and remember. Also there is a nice expansion into useful variations of the language around the key lesson components in each lesson which get progressively more comprehensive and challenging. I am making real progress.
Great product so far. I've tried numerous other Arabic language learning programs, books etc. This is beyond comprehensive and great. In the linguistic aspect, it provides all methods of L2 language learning (although this is the 5th language I have studied, I do incorporate other aspects that I have learned elsewhere into using the program. It's best to get a variety of content from many sources (preferably two or three, including rocket languages), and proceed by using your time wisely.
