Find out what actual users have to say about our courses through their Rocket French reviews.
I love learning French with the complete courses. It's fun,challenging,interacting,and very encouraging. I love the voices of the audio lessons with Paul and Claire in the beginning lessons. Also by learning to write in French is a great way to learn and remember as well. I wish though the complete courses had pictures with the sentences that would help improve the lesson as well as be able to talk live online with other students, It would even be so much more fun and make friends as an extra benefit. I love earning badges and points too that helps me to be more motivated to keep learning. I am happy I bought this complete course and will recommend it to my friends.
After trying to learn something from free online French courses, I realized that they generally don't really work. The vocabulary does not stick, and the grammar rules are often not explained well. Hence I figured I should spend some money to purchase a more professional course in order to get some actual results. I ended up with Rocket French, of which I now finishing two chapters (~20 lessons in total). And indeed, there is a world of difference:
1) The concept seems thought through; people say it is repetitive, and I tend to agree. However, the amount of repetition seems just right: I still remember all the words from the lessons I took one month ago. 2) Motivation remains high, even after weeks. The amount of new stuff introduced in each lesson is neither too little nor too much. As an exception, I want to mention lesson 2.9, in which I felt overwhelmed. 3) The native female speaker does a remarkable job, not only giving an example for good pronunciation, but routinely using voice inflection to emphasize the meaning of words, which is really helpful. 4) The provided material about French culture and the tips for effectively learning languages is also quite nice.
This is a great tool to learn another language and I would definitely recommend it to my friends. In fact, I did recommend it today and she purchased it. Now we are learning together and can converse at work.
I have been using the trial version for less than 2 weeks, and have already Astounded people with my little French. For example today I ran into a French mother and daughter. With the little French spoke they thought I was french! They couldn't believe my accent and were impressed. The interactive dialogue is great and the words were pronounced so clear for me. The design of this software and learning structure is fantastic! It allows me to repeat and answer questions to the pint that it sounds native! I started a French course in parallel and its triple the cost and doesn't compare. The Cd I got with the book is just crappy compared! I have studied a different language before - before the Internet and I wish someone could of given me all the tips I am reading that rocket French provides for free!. Rocket French has compiled a lot of information, advice and recommendations which is probably taken for granted. It's truly a wonderful experience learning online with a support forum for the language and IT. This online trial kit exceeds my expectations! Well done to you all Who Made this product a reality!
Indeed it is a very good French Language program.
But, do really expect people to believe so called " discounts/Coupon Applied!! , Early Bird Discount, Save Hundreds!!" and pay all that money for a language program!!
If you had any respect to your potential students you would offer a real, genuine price!! NOT DANGLING CARROTS !!

Response from Rocket Languages
Response from Rocket Languages: Hi SS - We provide the most comprehensive language learning courses on the market, with well over 120 hours worth of tuition per level. In addition, it is a one-off cost for lifetime access, including any updates we make. So, if you are looking at language learning as a lifetime investment then we are very reasonably priced imho!
Rocket Languages after sales service is beyond incredible. To cut a long story short, Rocket Languages credited an amount that I had paid to Apple for level 1 French, which Apple would not refund (despite what I considered valid grounds), and provided me with the whole three level course for their low Easter promotion price. In other words, they treated money paid to someone else (Apple) as having been paid to them, to ensure that I was not left out of pocket. In a largely faceless internet world, this is just amazing and I have seen nothing like it in 20 years of being in business. They also threw in extras at a discounted price, and were lovely, courteous and prompt in all their dealings with me. This company deserves its success and is clearly in this business for the long haul - because they genuinely care about customer satisfaction. Thank you Rocket Languages.
Also, I should not conclude this review without saying that the product is wonderful, and they rightfully believe in it.
I have learned so much with Rocket French. I have completed two years of university in French studies and Rocket French has improved my speaking and vocabulary way beyond my university studies. Rocket French is a great addition to my French learning journey.
ZACHARIA JOHOLA,
I heartily accept the work of the Rocket Language team,because I have gained a rapid and great advancement in the French Language though it 's less than a six-day period since I discovered and started to use this golden chance of learning the language which has been as day-dream for to understand it. Before I got the laptop I currently posses the environment was not friendly to me in learning this Foreign language through the most comprehensive Rocket Languages Program. I absolutely promise to be the permanent member of the site for I find it very helpful to me as a beginner to a new language (French).
I have not yet completed the course, but I solely recommend the Program to anyone else who finds a comprehensive and less time consuming program for self learning.
Living and working in France is My comforting dream. Keep it up Rocket Languages Team, you are the most wanted and helpful tool in self-learning of the Foreign Language.
I have been learning French for the last 10 years using a variety of methods including books and Rosetta Stone. I felt I was not progressing very well and nothing stuck which hindered my wanting to continue to learn. However, I found this site and tried the trial version and wow, just wow. In the space of a day I had learnt and memorised more French than I had in the 10 years of trying alternative methods. I have since bought the full version and I have no regrets whatsoever. The content is great and I love how you get to recite the same core content through all methods of communication (reading, writing, listening and speaking). I am already competitive on the leader-boards and I cannot wait to be able to use what I have learnt so far with my French pen-pal!
Rocket French is the best of the many French language teaching programs I have had experience with. I had a minimum amount of French training in high school and college just to meet the language requirement for my chosen field. Language learning at the time consisted of textbook, classroom and language laboratory exercises. For me this was torture as it took away from the time I could devote to the science and mathematics I needed to concentrate on to pursue a career in medicine. I am now retired but I have been involved with teaching students in other fields of education. Three years ago I decided to learn French. As I see it, the availability of computerized language programs of different varieties with voice recognition software has been a tremendous advance in language learning. I began with Rosetta Stone and enjoyed the experience and found it to be very helpful and I am happy that I had that experience. I also spent three weeks in France at an immersion school. I subscribe to Yabla which for a conscientious person can simulate an immersion experience in France. I enrolled in News in Slow French and look forward to their weekly output. Of course I also bought a book on French grammar and studied that.
