I enjoy working at my own pace. The flexibility of the program is very good. My favorite part is being able to listen and then repeat as many times as I want. The only thing I dislike is having to click accept to record each new phrase or word.

I undertook to learn French on my own, beginning with the Pimsleur method. I found this to be of great help to me, having the type of ear that easily hears language and its nuances. However, the Pimsleur method is limited, both in its exposure to grammar and verb forms and in its exposure to vocabulary. In searching for another self-taught method to continue my learning of French, I found and purchased Rocket French.

Through listening to the Rocket French lessons, which I do from an MP3 player that broadcasts through my car radio on my way to and from work, I have found just what I needed. I am continuing to learn French on my own terms, and very effectively at that.

Hi there. My name's Larry Goldie.

I've been using Rocket French for about six months now and I use it primarily to improve my French skills for working as a mountain guide over in France and Switzerland. It has helped me tremendously in situations like making hut reservations and hotel reservations and managing my group through the mountains and more importantly through the towns and restaurants and shops.

It's been a great program for me. It's given me the confidence to travel and to be responsible for people in these places. I'd just like to say thank you for putting out a great product.

Take care. Goodbye.

I love Rocket French from the first day! It is the only software available that has all the features I look for in a language learning software. It has MP3 files containing the audio sounds of many French words, phrases, and sentences. These are my favorite feature because these audio's pronounce first in English, then a pause, followed by the same phrase in French, then another pause, wrapping up with the same phrase repeated in French. The lovely voice is so pleasant to the ear that it is itself a splendid motivation for me to learn.

Other great features about the product are the comprehensive coverage of the language across all the chapters, cute pictures, and fun quizzes. Amazingly, I am learning French and loving every minute of it. My wish is that one day very soon I will be able to converse fluently with my neighbors and friends in Montreal. My husband and I bought a condominium there a couple of years ago and we love to visit every chance we get. I highly recommend this product without any reservation whatsoever! I fail to see any down side to it at all.
