Because you have your own unique reasons for wanting to speak French, we give you a choice; you can follow the recommended learning path through your course, or pick and choose the lessons from any level of Rocket French, in the order that suits you.

Best of all, you will feel more confident speaking French!
With Rocket French Platinum you will cover seven practical topics that include:

- All About Food (your mouth will be watering by the time you're done visiting French bakeries and supermarkets... You'll even go out for lunch and dinner in French!)
- Relationships (get to know your French-speaking neighbours and locals better, and learn how to express yourself with French-speaking friends and family)
- French Culture (everything from French jokes to French etiquette, and insights into French history and literature)
- Travel Destinations (become master of the internet cafes, learn about holiday homes, currency exchange and some 'must see' spots!)
- When Things Go Wrong (we all hope it never happens to us, but just in case it does... learn what to say in an emergency, if you've lost your passport, scratched the rental car, or need to visit a dentist!)
- Everyday Communication (these lessons will boost your French speaking abilities in the office, and enable you to talk about everything from current events to religion..)
The 31 Interactive Audio tracks in this third level of Rocket French average 25 minutes in length - that's over 13 hours of audio lessons that you can listen to and practice speaking with as often as you need to feel confident.
Each conversation is broken down into easy to manage parts, and you get written transcripts of each conversation, so that you can keep up with the lesson and get comfortable with written French.

The French Conversation...
| Julie: | Quelle sorte de surprise as-tu prévu et dont tu ne pouvais parler au téléphone? |
| Eric: | Isabelle était juste à côté de moi et c'est une surprise pour elle. |
| Julie: | Allez, dismoi! De quoi s'agitil? |
| Eric: | Tu sais qu'Isabelle aura quarante ans samedi prochain? Et bien je veux organiser une fête pour elle. |
| Julie: | C'est une très bonne idée. Je serais très contente de pouvoir aider. Qu'estce que tu as en tête ? |
| Eric: | Je pensais que l'on pourrait faire la fête dans le jardin et inviter tous ses amis et la famille. Le seul problème c'est qu'il faudra l'attirer ailleurs pendant quelques heures de manière à tout préparer. |
| Julie: | Je m'en occupe. Qu'estce que tu veux comme boissons et nourriture ? |
| Eric: | Je pensais que l'on pourrait avoir une plancha et des toasts. |
| Julie: | Super! Maintenant, il ne reste plus qu'à trouver un cadeau approprié! |
English Translation:
| Julie: | What type of surprise have you planned about which you could not talk on the phone? |
| Eric: | Isabelle was right next to me and it's a surprise for her. |
| Julie: | So tell me what is it about? |
| Eric: | You know that Isabelle will be forty next Saturday? Well, I want to organize a party for her. |
| Julie: | That's a very good idea. I'll be very happy to be able to help. What do you have in mind? |
| Eric: | I thought that we could have a party in the garden and invite all her friends and family. The only problem is that it will be necessary to lure her elsewhere for a few hours so that we can prepare everything. |
| Julie: | I'll deal with it. What do you want as far as drinks and food are concerned? |
| Eric: | I thought we could have a barbeque and hors d'oeuvres. |
| Julie: | Great! Now we only have to find a present for the occasion. |

"I would definitely recommend Rocket French to anyone who is trying to learn French or re-learn French in my case."

Hello, my name is Veronica James and this is my testimonial.
I did purchase Rocket French last fall and it was something I did as I was recovering from an injury. I had broken my ankle and had surgery. I was house-bound for about five months, so I decided to bone up on my French.
After looking at several different online and computer courses I chose Rocket French because of the freshness of the approach, the amount of audio files and the interactive games.
It just seemed like a really good value and a lot of fun and I found that was very true. I really enjoy using Rocket French; it’s challenging, it’s fun and it makes sense. I would definitely recommend Rocket French to anyone who is trying to learn French or re-learn French in my case.
I had studied it at high school for several years. Being that I planned to move to Canada at some point, I think it would be beneficial for me in my career pursuits as well as in my work as a performing artist. French is a beautiful language and Rocket French makes it easy and fun to learn. The graphics are great and they are updated; they are modern as well as traditional. The audio files are at a good speed, so you can follow along and repeat and really know what you are learning. I think the biggest benefit I have gained from the Rocket French course is a new understanding of the beauty of the French language and how it enriches me as a person. Anyone who purchases Rocket French should have a really great experience learning a new language, or brushing up on an old language with a new twist. I'm having a great time doing it, and really having a sense of achievement being able to study at my own pace and learn. So thank you so much Rocket French. Merci beaucoup. I’m Veronica James. Thank you so much.
