Rocket Languages Reviews

Great, very structured course with a lot of great content suitable for all levels. Content is well explained and there is plenty of opportunity to practice speaking aloud. I wish that the review activities have more varieties. The writing practice, speaking practice and flashcard activities are quite repetitive.

I've only been using Rocket French for 6 days, several hours per day, but I really like the balance of the approach so far. They don't give you too much to absorb at any one time, and they do a good job of going over it from different angles to aid your comprehension and retention. It's a casual, but effective approach. I've had no issues using Firefox, although the voice recognition isn't there, but I have no problems evaluating my own pronunciation by comparing it to the audio. I did have problems with Edge. Haven't used it with Safari yet.

Its a fine course. Its easy and gets you working on it each day. Nevertheless, the whole program is not that advanced. I was looking for something that can take me from B1 to C or so.

I have only had it one day and love it already. I'm looking forward to my journey.

I found the courses interactive! Better than using Duolingo for the first month as this helps me to build a base and interest in learning the language. But I kind of get to a plateau after finishing level 2, so I go to do the travelogue, which is quite fun. Though at the first half of travelogue, I found the story plot is like kind of missing something, luckily the later part improves a lot with more conversation. But it is frustrating that there isn’t a all-merge dialogue that includes all the audios from previous lessons, like the review audio in level 1,2,3. So basically I can’t go hand-free to listen back the dialogues that I have gone through while I am cooking, running ...etc. And the updated version of level 1,2,3 is putting away something I found very nice - that’s having the conversion dialogue at the end of the same lesson page, instead of putting them at the “all conversation” part. Hope these features can be added and improved. Thanks!

Overall this is great as it focus on speaking which is my favourite part of language learning.
The problematic part for me currently is not being able to just download the French audio conversations only.
I do not wish to go through the English parts of the lesson and will really prefer a French only audio to help improve on my listening skills as well.

The audio is there but the download button isn't for the French only parts.

Rocket French is my 7th language purchased. I have been practicing five of them daily since June, which are Italian, Spanish, German, Portuguese and Hindi. I studied French in high school and in college, but that was quite a while ago. I considered taking an in-person class, and although I accepted I would have to start over again, ultimately decided it made more sense to buy Rocket French, because that would allow me to re-learn at my own pace, since I wasn't an absolute beginner. The courses are a great deal, and something I really look forward to at the end of the day. Having the Current Streak measurement is the single most important feature. The site is very interactive, and you can mix up what you do according to where your energy is that day. Tracking your progress is very easy. Finally, I like how the voice actors, or people who create each language program, seem to make the arrangement of the stories and lessons a bit different from the other languages. It makes the experience seem more real, even though it is all online. I am so grateful that Rocket Language exists!!!

Easy start with the new technology, along with so much English no need to ask anything, but time consuming. Happy with the program so far, thank you.

I like the teaching method it makes it stick longer but I wish it was more considerable to people who are financially incapable because most lectures require you to buy.

Rocket French is exactly what I need to improve my confidence in speaking french; I just wish I had discovered it earlier! I am an intermediate learner with very limited access to native french speakers. I was becoming frustrated with my french learning as even though I had learnt a lot from other sources and can understand spoken french reasonably well, my spoken french is poor in comparison. I bought level 3 Rocket French and the Travelogue a month ago and have already noticed an improvement, as has my Skype french teacher! I love the format of the exercises: repetition and more repetition is definitely what I need as a mature student! Highly recommended.
