Rocket French Reviews

I bought Rocket French on a whim just to give it a try. I have tried many other teach-yourself home language courses in the past but have usually given up after only a few lessons. Rocket French however is engaging and fun and I enjoy every lesson. I enjoy having the ability to interact with the lessons and I especially appreciate the Rocket Record feature for perfecting my pronunciation. I also like the fact that the lessons can be funny sometimes, and not terribly dry as with other language courses.

I love how you can listen and then pronounce words along with the audio. When I'm having a bad day I still want to learn and I want to make progress on my badges. With Rocket Languages you can learn several different languages without looking for another book/website that teaches the language.

The thing I love most about Rocket French is the price. It is A LOT cheaper than the others. I also love the fact that Rocket French allows users to download the audio clips. This feature has been very helpful because I travel a lot and I wish to listen on the go.

I have only been using Rocket French for a short while so I am still not quite au fait with all the different modules. I bought it mainly to have the interactive audio and to be able to listen to a native French speaker and then hear how I sound when I repeat the phrase. I find the ability to to play the audio back is really very helpful. It is also really helpful to see the wave form of the audio as it tells you a lot about your pronunciation.

The great thing about this program is it gives you multiple ways to learn, and doesn't leave you abandoned out of your native language. Whether you learn through conversation, memorization, or association either auditory or visual, Rocket language has a way for you to excel.

Just to put things into context, I completed Rosetta Stone a few years ago and at the end of it, I knew a lot of nouns, phrases, and partial sentences, but couldn't string together a handful of sentences together into any kind of meaningful conversation. Suffice it to say, as a cinephile and avid traveler, I had aspired to a proficiency level somewhat higher than a Francophone toddler.

Now that I've almost completed Premium Level (already have Premium Plus and Platinum on tap), I'm definitely picking up a lot more nuances in film dialogues, and I am also more confident about my pronunciation. The Rocket Reviews are really useful in getting you to think about the different variations and syntaxes that you can apply to the lesson you've just completed.

The Language and Culture modules have a lot of substance to them, and hopefully, they can be deeper integrated into the Interactive Audio modules. As a specific example, the 'Putting Things Together' lessons were exactly what I was looking for in terms of having the facility/vernacular to string together phrases into a coherent sentence without guessing the applicable joinders (like "by the way", or "nevermind") by translating English terms word for word and hope that they use a similar expression in French.

Haven't used it yet.

I think it is better that the conversation is carried out by native speakers instead of a native and a non-native. I showed the audio part to my French friends, they think the non-native speaker carry a weird accent and that is not good for helping with my pronunciation as a beginner.

A great way to learn another language whether it be working in a job requiring ear muffs for hearing protection (with your ipod in under them) or even driving a truck! I have found my new language steady and easy to pick up and although I don't know any other French speakers I will feel confident when the time comes as I speak out loud, and listen to French language everyday. Watching movies in French with French subtitles and listening to French music is a bonus to help with this course and makes putting together sentences easier.

I thought it was quite similar to mango languages that i could obtain free from my local library but it turns out to be much better. I really like the notes area that allows you to save your own personal notes. You can easily copy and paste. The keyboard is a bit of a hassle. The audio files can be downloaded to my ipod so i can listen to them in the car. it really is a much better product. The Hear it and Say it are the key. You can reset it and do it as many times as you wish. That's when you really know if you are learning something new. It challenges you at a faster pace than mango languages. mango also has the voice recording but the extras which are: the notes that you can save, the downloadable audiofile so you can listen on your ipod or in your car on your auxiliary device, the Hear it, Say it, Know it: All of these are what put's it ahead. and i can get access to it anywhere internet is available rather than just on my home computer without taking much space. it's like the icloud where you can access stuff anywhere but it doesnt use up computer memory.
