We have a simple belief that guides us every day: that language is all about understanding.
Learning a new language gives you a sense of personal achievement and confidence.
But more than that, immersing yourself in a language lets you see the world through a different lens.
It helps you to understand a different culture - its people and places - and to connect in a more meaningful way.
Imagine if we could grow appreciation for one another across the world. Then we would build cultural bridges that bring us all closer together.
Building a culturally connected world through the power of language.
It drives us every day.
To immerse yourself in a language and culture, you need to have the right tools and the right teaching.
That’s why we deliver you the best online language-learning experience possible.
If you are a serious language learner who wants a program that is
then let's get talking!
Let's rewind to 2004. I'd been trying to learn French for a few years. I'd spent a lot of time doing everything that language learners are "supposed" to do:
I guess I wasn't the ideal candidate for learning a second language:
I knew I couldn't be the only person having trouble. So at the start of 2004, my friend and co-founder, Mark Ling, and I put our heads together.
What other challenges were holding people back from successfully learning a second language? And how could we help them overcome them?
We did a lot of research, including:
Within 12 months we had created both Rocket Spanish and Rocket French. Both courses were instant hits. Users sent us rave reviews, saying how much better our courses were than anything else on the market.
Fast-forward to the present day. Rocket Languages is a recognized global leader in online language learning.
It all comes back to the vision that we had, and still have, for Rocket Languages:
To build a culturally connected world through the power of language.
Which, for us, means providing the most effective online language learning courses possible.
We build our vision into everything that we do here at Rocket Languages.
Our vision extends beyond what we do here at Rocket Languages. We are strong supporters of using
education in general to foster a more culturally connected world. To that end we sponsor a Cambodian
school via the Cambodia Charitable Trust.
