Rocket Languages Reviews

I bought the French language version. Very good. I don't know about the other courses but I have a couple of reasons for not giving it a 5 star rating: 1. The pronunciation of the female speaker in the early lessons is often bad. She has a habit of not pronouncing the nasal "n" in the middle of words or in liaison word combinations. Consequently I use Google translate to learn and practice the pronunciation of these words. Google has a fast and slow mode which is also helpful but no male speaker option. Forvo pronunciation does but is limited in available styles. The best I've found is Acapela which has a choice of male, female, France French, Belgium French, Canadian French, emotive, flat, etc, but no speed option. The good thing is that the voice recognition system does recognize the pronunciation I use from Google etc. If I copy the speaker in the Rocket Language course when she uses words with "n" in the middle ( e.g. vingt, prendre, or combinations like "pas inquitez") it doesn't recognize them. NOTE, I am a native English speaker fluent in Chinese and Japanese. I have had many hours in language labs learning unfamiliar sounds.

i really enjoy reading and learning here at the rocket languages. i already learn a lot of things that i want to learn here like how to write a hangul and how to pronounce it properly. so i hope they continue helping others like the way you help me. anyway i just want you to know that i enjoy my experience here. Thank you.

I purchased the French language module before and I am very grateful for the experience. The method is easy to follow and the immersion is awesome. I have used other software programs to learn other languages, but my best recommendation is Rocket Languages. I love it. I just purchased the Hindi language program, and I can confidently say it will be a great experience.

I am still in the beginning lessons, but I already feel the Rocket practice will stick with me longer than other courses I have tried. I sort of hate the Write It part...but it certainly shows me that my knowledge of where to put accent marks is severely lacking. As frustrating as that is, it is such a clear indicator of where I need to focus more attention, that I have to appreciate the feedback.

Dialogues are amazing, done by professionals, lessons are clear and easy to follow. I have tried other courses but this is the best! It's very interactive, you can check your pronunciation using microphone, I find this useful to memorize words and expressions better.
Happy learning!

I JUST BOUGHT THE TRAVELOGUE AND I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.!!! This version does not give the sentence by sentence AUDIO translation: first spoken in French then telling you what it is in English, which DOES NOT MAKE IT USEFUL WHILE DRIVING OR WORKING OUT. THIS VERSION LIMITS ABILITY TO USE IT BEST WHILE ONLY ABLE TO READ THE TRANSLATIONS. THE USAGE IS MUCH MORE LIMITED!!!

I started Spanish with another well known language product. After two months I knew a lot of words, but couldn't put enough together to make a sentence. After a short time with Rocket Languages I can actually speak and understand a few phrases. Great program!

This is the most effective language training tool that I've come across. I took three years of language courses when I was still in school, but the face to face instruction and curriculum never really reached me in the way that I've had with Rocket Languages. Between the app and the online course, it makes learning a new language fun and much easier than I could possibly have anticipated.

The lessons are extremely thorough and I appreciate it even though they are challenging at times. Which is a good thing. I have tried other methods of learning Spanish and so far am really liking Rocket Languages.

Great product with multiple learning methods as well as multiple review and comprehension tools for adult learners.
It's helpful that they also include "street French", differing dialogues, and variations.
