Find out what actual users have to say about our courses through their Rocket French reviews.
If you are looking to learn a language. I recommend giving rocket languages a try.
Pros:
Audio focused
forces you to listen to every new term/phrase
forces you to speak new terms/phrases and lets you hear back your voice back to compare
Also grades your speech on chrome automatically
lets you rate yourself and then you go back and review what you thought was okay or hard
I got it for ~$180 and get permanent access for about 230 hours of content
Cons:
No clear function for long term spaced repetition
Not enough spontaneity like writings essays or responding words organized in a new way(thats not already pre-planned)
You only cover everything in the ~20 minute audio lesson
No visual references if you care about that
You might lose your voice
Not gamified but I'm having fun
I think you need to use Anki, but its does everything better than doulingo or memrise when it comes to listening and speaking. While also providing a clear path compared to just venturing on yourself. Doulingo is better for grammar and conjugations, but you are at a much faster pace, its less repetitive, and you just can't tune out. Its not good for children or trying to get some else to learn. Ie. you need to participate and have a desire to learn.

Hi Brooke, thank you for your extensive feedback. It's great to hear that you recommend Rocket Languages and that our audio features are supporting your learning. Regarding spaced repetition, we actually already apply this learning strategy to our reinforcement activities, including "Flashcards," "Hear it! Say it!," etc. Additionally, when you purchase a course, you get lifetime access to it and can repeat the lessons as many times as you feel is necessary. We greatly appreciate your feedback and have passed your suggestions on to our Product Development team. We wish you all the best with your French language-learning journey!
I enjoy the course work and information so far. The voice voice recognition sucks. Had a French speaking friend speak as a test and she had the same experience. If this program tells a woman from Montreal that she's wrong or can't register her speech, then it just frustrates the learner and makes for a bad design.

Thank you for your review Amrutha! We're so happy to hear your making good progress with Rocket French, it sounds like you'll be chatting away in French in no time. We hope your language-learning journey continues along its current trajectory!
Bloody awesome course :)) Initially I was a little thrown off by the overly jovial tone of some of the English conversations but the actual content of the course is fantastic. My only complaint is that the speakers can come across as if they are talking to a child and i'm sure most of the people utilising this course are likely to be adults. Otherwise it's great.

It takes you slowly but surely, I like that, I'm actually studying two languages: French and Brazilian portuguese.

How great to hear that you are enjoying the course enough to learn two languages with us. We're sure that your skills in both these languages are just taking off. All the best!
Lots of practice with pronunciation and reinforcement of common phrases. Grammar is clearly explained. The mode of learning is well-paced with immediate applicability of the language in common everyday contexts. Motivating pedagogy.

It's great to hear that you are enjoying the course method and finding the grammar easy to understand. We wish you all the best for your French journey!
Great product; an overall fantastic way to learn/practice a language. However, the narrator's pronunciation in the Rocket French lessons (level 2) is comically bad at best and cringe-worthy at worst. A great example of what NOT to say. For context of my experience, I recently finished Pimsleur's 5 levels of French which is strictly focused on speaking and listening. Pimsleur is better in that regard, however, I don't recommend buying two services like I did. Rocket French seems to take you closer to fluency. I'm sure you can get everything you need from Rocket Languages. Salut !
