Hi, my name is Kate Joslin.

While studying in Israel for seven months I made three friends: one each from France, Quebec and Belgium. I quickly became interested in the French language and they began to teach me a few things. Previously, I had never studied French before and didn’t even know that “bonjour” was French! To say the least I had a totally blank slate to start from.

After these friends sparked my interest in French and came home determined to learn more. I stumbled upon Rocket French while looking for a program to introduce me to the language. After comparing it to some others I decided to give it a try. It looked like a great program (and it was the cheapest around!).

I was very pleased with Rocket French from the beginning. I didn’t even have to wait for it to come in the mail, but began immediately exploring the program after I downloaded it. The lessons were very helpful and I enjoyed learning by reading and listening to the language. For such a beginner like myself I thought the lessons were very understandable and basic. Overall, I was very pleased with the program and thought the practical go-at-your-own-speed teaching style was great. My French began to improve and I had fun practicing everything I was learning on my French-speaking friends.

Unfortunately, I have had to give up on continuing the program for now. I am making plans to move to El Salvador in about one year and have decided it would be best to put my efforts into learning Spanish instead of French. Too bad Rocket Spanish wasn’t included with Rocket French!
