Rocket Languages Reviews

A fun and easy way to learn. Several years ago I started with Rocket German before a trip to Germany. Although I didn't progress very far with the lessons, what I did learn really helped with important things like ordering food, booking a room, getting directions, etc. Now I'm planning a trip to Austria and am planning to go through all 3 levels of lessons before my trip in September 2013. Its a really fun way to learn.

I love how I am learning practical, useful phrases to help me travel and communicate with residents of smaller, local villages. I also like that I am learning to speak correctly. Way better than Duolingo. With Duolingo I was learning words in Italian like monkey and whales that unless I went to a zoo in Italy, not very useful. I highly recommend this program!

I love that I am able to interact throughout. I am studying abroad in Italy and wanted to get a head start on my studies. I love it so far. I paid for the the full Italian package. I think it is totally worth it. My step mom and her family are from Dominican Republic and I will be using Rocket Spanish as well after this.

While I generally enjoy the course, there is something I think should definitely be improved. Specifically, in the reinforcement exercises, they need to specify which form of "you" is expected. In real life, the context will provide the information, but in the exercises, no such context is available. It is quite frustrating! Please address this deficiency. Thank you.

I like that I can listen AND see the words but I really, really wish the speaker's buttons worked better so that I could hear the phrase repeatedly, once for each click.

Very good! I am happy with how this program is but i wish there was more writing involved.
