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.

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.

it is amazing. we are improving our skills by this rocket languages.

Here's the amazing site I'm learning french i.e. ROCKET FRENCH.
It's very easy to understand to learning.

i really like this course. this is really awesome language .and this course is very easy to learn anything in this language. i'm surely rock this french language.
thankyou/merci.

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.

So far, so good. A nice mix of audio, writing, speech.

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

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.

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 !
