This is a great course! I've always wanted to learn Portuguese, and this helps me become engaged. I recognized Portuguese before through my mom but hearing the individual with the Rio accent makes it difficult to understand especially since it's a unique accent. For example, I wouldn't recommend someone to learn English from someone with a New York or southern accent. Other than that, it's incredible!
good course, good spelling and a lot of exercise and repetition for better practice

We are glad to hear that you are getting a lot out of the course. Best of luck with your Japanese!
Progress is slow because of my age! I like the program very much! Need to continue with the lessons for future travel!

We're glad to hear you're progressing with the course. Best of luck in continuing your lessons and for your travels!
Minus one star for the poor voice recognition performance. It would be 5 stars if that wasn't so inconsistent. Also, price at a discount is okay. I don't think I would buy again at full price. I may feel differently once I've finished the course.

Thanks for your review Kace. If you would like some assistance with our voice recognition feature, please don't hesitate to contact our customer support team on [email protected]. All the best with your language learning!
I love all the different methods you learn: guided conversation or written language lesson, flash cards quiz, listen and repeat, writing, say answer and short quizzes. Definitely a great, interactive way to learn. Highly recommend this program, definitely the best one I have found (after a lot of searching).
My only negative is they need a flash card app for all of the sentences and vocabulary in the program (not each lesson) which remember how well you know each card (worse cards are seen more often - the flash card quiz doesn't do this).

Thanks so much for your review, Scott. It's so great to hear that you are enjoying the course. I just wanted to let you know that in the Flashcards test, if you mark a word/phrase as Good or Hard, you will be given the opportunity to test yourself again on just those phrases, until you marked everything as Easy. I hope that helps!
Just starting to test the waters with Rocket French. Can't really say much yet since it's too early, but I keep noticing that the speech recognition isn't working accurately. My voice is either not getting recognized or if I deliberately mispronounce I get 100%. That's a bit of a downer. Considering the cost of this course, I'd expect it to work without issues.

Hi Richard, thanks so much for your review. We're sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the voice recognition. Please contact our customer support team for help at [email protected]. All the best with your language learning!
Works okay, very helpful context, but the part where you speak the words and they judge your pronunciation is super super broken for me, rendering the whole app half-useless. It either can not hear what I'm saying at all, or is way way off base about what I said. I've tried switching devices, switching to an external mic, etc etc but the problem seems to be ROCKETBOOK. So far Duolingo has proven to be better, and much more affordable. I hope they fix the voice part...

Hi Brid, thanks so much for your review. Our apologies for the trouble you are having with our voice recognition. Please contact our customer support team for help at [email protected]. All the best with your language learning!
So far so good, quite pricy though. And maybe it would be fun with something for visual learners. Overall it is very good but still has potential to improve. I have no experience of the customer service so that one is neither good or bad.
How likely I'm to buy it again depends on if I get a big discount on another language.

All the best with your language learning!
Pros:
+good quality audio and content
+many different exercises to practice
+audio recognition exercises
+daily rank is very motivating
Cons:
-pricing is high due to exchange rate (PLN/USD)
-Mobile app UI (android) is not well designed (too small icons; far away buttons; a lot empty space; hand becomes quickly tiered from jumping from record icon to easy/medium/hard button)
-a little too much English in recordings
Ideas:
-bigger buttons; small mobile app redesign
-access to recording transcript (more than just one sentence at a time)
-accumulation of all flashcards and other exercise into one big place to exercise what I already should know;

Thanks so much for your feedback, Kris. We will pass this on to our developer team for their consideration. All the best with your language learning!
I am really enjoying this course so far. I like that you can skip a lesson if it may not pertain to you or your current goal and then come back to it later. I also love being able to listen to the Interactive Audio lessons again later on my phone to reinforce the lesson I did for the day.
One thing that would be better, is if it asked you to write a review at the end of a lesson to not interrupt your learning.
