Hi there,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Rocket Languages would not, and does not, steal videos from other You Tube users - apologies for any confusion around this. The video channel you reference is a third party affiliate who we will follow up with now this has been brought to our attention We have one official channel - http://www.youtube.com/user/RocketLanguages?blend=7&ob=5 If any of you would like to try any of our products then I will happily provide you with review access 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thank you for clearing this up. I have found a couple of more channels put up by your affiliate on youtube since putting up this thread, including one hosting a video taken from a user who is doing a review of a product called "Learning Spanish Like Crazy" and says they think it is better than other courses they had tried, including Rocket Spanish, all the while advertising Rocket Spanish on the screen. I hope you get this problem with your affiliate sorted out soon. I have seen quite a few channels which steal videos from youtube users and this seriously puts your company in disrepute and some of these channels have been around for more than six months. I will edit my initial post to reflect your response. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

For what it's worth - I've also found grammatical errors with at least one of the programs after conferring with native speakers to make sure it wasn't just a dialectical variation, and reported at least one spelling/data mistake to them.
After trying the trial program for Hindi, I've decided that it's just not worth the money they're looking for, for the quality of product being provided without spending more time on quality control. I may go look at it in a year or so and see if the program has received any updates and improvements. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Rocket Spanish seems to be pretty popular among some forum members. I haven't tried it before.
