Rocket Languages Reviews

it is quite interesting approach but still need to find some extra resources to understand fully especially for the extra vocab part. However, i will still recommend to friends of mine if they are looking for online korean learning

Instructors are easy to understand to follow. Being able to go back over the material and compare to the tutor is very helpful to get the words right and the proper inflection where it's needed. Phrase finder is great for learning words and phrases of all sorts. Enjoying the experience!

Best one I have used yet and that includes that big expensive one ( you know the one I am talking about). Rocket's presentation style is awesome. The style is friendly and fun. It always sounds like some friends are trying to teach me French not some recording. Keep up the good work. Claire is beautiful !

I was looking for a good language program and after doing a lot of research I decided to go with Rocket Korean because of its value for money. I was not disappointed. It has a great interface which incorporates both visual and auditory approaches to learning. And you also have the flexibility to tackle the different types of lessons in your own way.

It's pretty good. Decent price for a lot of material. Could use more interactive parts, such as games however. That said, you do get an email daily with your word of the day, the forums seem pretty active and helpful and there are a lot of lessons.

Bottom line...this system really works if you keep up with it. Find a way to integrate it into your daily routine. Which, by the way is relatively easy to do and you will be speaking that 2nd language.

I love Rocket Languages!!!! keep up the good work :)

The only complaint that i have is that there are no tests or quizzes and that kind of makes me sad because i want to know where i am at at an academic level and i don't know how to do that with out a test or a quiz

On the plus side, the website is attractive and functions well. The interactive lessons are well-structured and nicely done. I appreciate that they make continued improvements, such as the addition of Write It in the testing sections. Also appreciate that both sound and text are downloadable and the website allows you to listen to only the parts of the lessons you want. I haven't taken advantage of any "social" features like the Forum but I appreciate that Rocket tries to foster a community. The "points" system is an interesting idea.

On the downside, I think there's too much repetition of non-essential vocabulary in the testing sections (I really don't think lesson or unit are words to keep hammering me with). I also think built-in flashcards linked to My Vocabulary would be nice or perhaps automated flashcards for each section. It's also not clear the sequencing of the lessons. This is partially intentional but you'll find yourself tested on material you haven't seen if you don't move across all the lesson types. That said, I've given feedback to the team on many points and they've nearly always been responsive and eager to help and take feedback.

- dialogue very clear
- good variety of topics in lessons
- maybe a touch over priced
- lesson review sections do not always save for me at the first time of trying
- cultural elements very interesting

I Appreciate the desire to keep updating and adding to the service

I like the lessons so far, but I have a couple nits to pick. 1) The recording volume is very low even when set to max. I have to get very close to my mic, and then I get big spikes. 2) When Mauricio pronounces phrases, he emphasizes one syllable the first time and a different syllable the next time. How am I supposed to know which way is right?
