1. Making the BEST USE of limited time: Rocket is designed so that you can learn at your own pace and in your own time.
2. Understanding EXACTLY how the language and culture works: You get in-depth, step by step instructions on how the language works (in English), as well as valuable cultural tips
3. REINFORCE what you learn so that it sticks forever: Our scientifically designed Testing algorithm re-displays words and phrases that you are weak on until they stick in your head like glue.
4. Practice SPEAKING and SOUNDING like a native: The Rocket system has several features that prompt you to speak out loud. A key plank to your success.

Accessibility Comments
Rocket Languages suffers from some design and accessibility issues which make it very cumbersome for VoiceOver users to utilize its beneficial features. Namely the absence of proper headings to separate various sections on each page, the app's lack of proper language tags in order to tell VoiceOver to switch to a new TTS language when a new language is detected on a new paragraph, and some labelling issues are true showstoppers. What's more, as one flicks left and right to move around various controls and sections on each page via VoiceOver, several so-called empty slots or placeholders, indicated by a simple "ding" sound are encountered which make navigation painfully -- and needlessly -- slow.
