Find out what actual users have to say about our courses through their Rocket Languages reviews.
Rocket Languages was my first choice to try to learn Japanese. Price was reasonable, and I liked the voice recognition technology so as to get feedback on my pronunciation, plus as a proud expatriate Kiwi, I liked the fact that the company had been founded in Christchurch, NZ (I believe?).
My partner is Japanese and so I had her try the interface and she was impressed with the accuracy of the voice recognition. I liked being able to download lessons to my phone and practice on my daily walks.
Since then I have attended many Japanese classes at a number of schools, been exposed to other online apps, and tried other ways to learn Japanese.
Sometimes, I leave Rocket Languages for lengthy periods as my enthusiasm for learning Japanese wanes, but I always come back to it for revision and to rekindle my enthusiasm. Having life-long access makes this possible and is great value.
I have recommended it to many friends and fellow students and none have had a bad word to say about it.
I like the score that accumulates as you use the app, as this encourages you to study longer, as does the overall ranking that updates as you study. I am competitive, and this app encourages that.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you so much for your review. We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying Rocket Japanese and are able to apply what you learn to your daily life. Regarding the issues you are having with the voice recognition, we have sent you some tips for this. All the best for the rest of the course!
I've only just started using Rocket Language but I'm loving it so far. The voice recognition feature alone is worth the price. I really appreciate that it shows me a "real time" translation of what I'm saying so I can actually see/hear where I'm going wrong. Can't wait to dive deeper and learn more.
the course is serious learning session , i love it
I enjoy the ease of this site/app. I use both to get the most out of this awesome learning experience.
I think it's definitely better than the language courses I took in high school. Language teaching is definitely moving in the direction of learning words by integration, and I like that. It could have a heavier emphasis on reading in the language; the conversations are a great start but they're kind of short; longer passages could be helpful. I'm glad it gives formal conjugations and vocab lists, etc.--much better than Duolingo. The motivational mechanisms are fun without being overbearing. Overall, I think it's a good course to get you rolling if you'll have immersion later, or if you'll be reading in Italian.
I love it. Encantodo , it is delightfull. elgusto es mio, the pleasure is mine.
Just starting the course but I can tell it is working!! Looking forward to speaking Italian on my trip to Rome.
We are so happy to hear that you are seeing results with Rocket Italian. Best of luck with your Italian!
Excellent - User friendly. Love the concentrated interaction.
Absolutely would recommend Rocket Languages to anyone beginning in a foreign language. I have purchased two different language courses with them, and have been completely pleased with both.
The pace of introducing new material is perfect. And it's all very conversational -- Close your eyes and absorb the conversation. It's great!
