Rocket Languages Reviews

I was previously using another app to learn Spanish. After 145 days, I could understand quite a few words. And form sentences from multiple choices that appeared on the screen. But I had a very difficult time speaking or forming actual sentences. Let alone, have a conversation. After 6 days of using Rocket Spanish, I feel that it is preparing me better for the "Real" world. The other app is more "Game-like." I look forward to my Spanish Time much more with Rocket Spanish.

It is interactive how the lessons go. Unfortunately, it is at least to say "expensive".

Lesson 1.7 is about to do me in. I simply cannot understand it when they're saying such long sentences and speaking so rapidly. Then again, I got made fun of once in the 90's Mexico when I said cuatro because I said it so slowly. I'm from the South. I speak English slowly and damned sure can't speak Spanish that fast. I also can't remember all those words and phrases. There were a lot of them in this lesson!

Rocket Italian is well designed to help develop both conversational Italian and an understanding of grammar and syntax. My only complaint is that the software sometimes has glitches as it speaks or listens, and doesn't always hear what you say, even when you're saying it correctly. I have tested this both with computer mic and speakers, and with headphones and dedicated lavalier mic.

Hello,
so far I appreciate Rocket Russian. I think it's a very good learning app. I have been using it since 6 days now, and I have also bought a lifetime subscription for all 3 levels.

Plus:
-) Saving vocabs functionality
-) realistic dialogues
-) overall engaging content

Minus:
-) the price!! It's super expensive (even though I got the beginning of July discount, but 185€ is still quite some money for an app; but let's see, maybe it is worth the price; there is a 60 days guaranteed refund policy still).

Improvement recommendations:
-) please add the "Saved Vocab" function to mobile phone too!!
-) general improvement of mobile app to be more like desktop web app; desktop web app has much more functionality than mobile app (and I guess most people nowadays prefer a mobile app over a desktop web app)
-) dark mode for mobile phone

Still have to see how it's going to be for the rest of the first 60 days, but currently I would still buy again and recommend it to a friend.

Best regards,
Jacob

As someone that originally wanted to travel to Japan to learn the language, but lack the funds to make that dream a reality at this current time, This was the next best option!

I'm still only a couple lessons in to it but I'm already loving how well made and designed the lesson are and how easy and clear its been made to understand and learn, always thought learning a language would be daunting, but Rocket has made it fun and easier if nothing else. I hope that by the time, if not before I finish this course I would have saved enough funds to travel to japan, and I have no doubts that rocket will have set me up for successes for when I do.

Flaw & Suggestions

If I was to point out or suggest anything that would be a bonus and that I think the lack of is holding this back from being a Full 5* it would be the Vocab lesson having more of the Japanese that was in the audio lessons present as well.

its honestly a really good program but there should be a feature to let you slow down the audio down just a little, Korean has some completely different nuances so it hard to hear them sometimes when it so fast

I purchased Rocket Japanese a few years ago and put it on the back burner. I've recently gotten my interest back up and have been practicing more. Not being an expert on language courses, I'm pretty happy with my purchase. The frustration I have is self inflicted as I have difficulty with sentence structure and conjugating verbs. That is no fault of the program, however. I just have to let go of established norms to understand better what I am trying to learn.

I enjoy Rocket Spanish because of the balanced approach to learning the language with a mix of spoken and written language. If there was an improvement I could make to the course it would be to make it easier to build group of flash cards for the words that are difficult for me to remember.

I'm having problems with my microphone. It's frustrating.
