Rocket French Reviews

Pretty happy overall with the medium for learning. I often use it on the go, walking or driving, when I can't check the screen, so the spelling of some words are not obvious until I get time to review them. Otherwise quite happy.

This is the most effective language training tool that I've come across. I took three years of language courses when I was still in school, but the face to face instruction and curriculum never really reached me in the way that I've had with Rocket Languages. Between the app and the online course, it makes learning a new language fun and much easier than I could possibly have anticipated.

I bought the French language version. Very good. I don't know about the other courses but I have a couple of reasons for not giving it a 5 star rating: 1. The pronunciation of the female speaker in the early lessons is often bad. She has a habit of not pronouncing the nasal "n" in the middle of words or in liaison word combinations. Consequently I use Google translate to learn and practice the pronunciation of these words. Google has a fast and slow mode which is also helpful but no male speaker option. Forvo pronunciation does but is limited in available styles. The best I've found is Acapela which has a choice of male, female, France French, Belgium French, Canadian French, emotive, flat, etc, but no speed option. The good thing is that the voice recognition system does recognize the pronunciation I use from Google etc. If I copy the speaker in the Rocket Language course when she uses words with "n" in the middle ( e.g. vingt, prendre, or combinations like "pas inquitez") it doesn't recognize them. NOTE, I am a native English speaker fluent in Chinese and Japanese. I have had many hours in language labs learning unfamiliar sounds.

No soy angloparlante nativo, tengo un nivel de inglés intermedio, sin embargo puedo entender perfectamente el curso (dictado en Inglés). El método es muy entretenido, combina varias cosas buenas que ví en otros cursos, y sin darte cuenta terminás la unidad sabiendo expresarte un poco más y de tal manera que las frases quedan dando vueltas en tu cabeza, que con un poco de práctica se hacen naturales (vienen instantáneamente cuando las necesitas).

I especially like the dialogue format, dismantling its parts, then putting all together. It is helping fix phrases in my mind that I used to have to piece together mechanically. I am hoping that this will lead to more fluid conversational skill. This is going beyond simple listening comprehension.

I gave the price a 3 star because I had to go online to find a coupon code that provided me 60% off the original price. I gave the customer service a 3 star for neutral since I haven't needed to call a C.S.R. yet

According to me it is extremely good because someone is able to learn the pronunciation of the words in French and at the same time learning to to write in friend.. It is a good learning tool really.... Absolutely awesome

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.

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.
