The course is fine and the french lessons are in good taste but for a developing country like Brazil the prices are absurdly high and literally makes it impossible for me to actually buy the course.
The various lesson formats really reinforce the learning. Listen, repeat, play back, vocabulary, know it, write it, quiz, flashcards. J'adore apprendre!
UMMMMM FIRST OF ALL IT WON'T LET ME DO OTHER LESSONS BECAUSE I'M JUST DOING THE FREE PART - IT ADVERTISES THAT IT'S FREE - A COMPLETE TRICK!!!! OUTRAGEOUS! IT DOESN'T TEACH YOU PROPERLY - IT TELLS YOU TO REPEAT THE STATEMENT/QUESTION AND THAT'S IT!!! NOTHING ELSE! I AM VERY UNSATISFIED WITH THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE AND WOULD RECOMMEND NOT LEARNING FRENCH FROM THIS HORRIBLE WEBSITE - I WOULD SUGGEST NOT EVEN LOOKING AT THIS WEBSITE!!! A SCAM, I TELL YOU!
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi there - It does say that it's a free trial with sample lessons! I am not sure how that constitutes a scam!
The format is very interesting and easy to learn. The lessons are in bite-sized chunks and easy to memorise. I started about a week back and I am happy with the progress I am making. Thank you Rocket Languages!
I like this program a great deal. It's very well structured and pragmatic. My only true complaint is the voice recognition software. I live in France and if most of the French can understand me then why doesn't the program recognize my voice?
I absolutely love Rocket French. It has help my pronunciation and accent so much. I can practice anywhere on the way home on the bus. The grammar lessons are so easy to understand. I had been struggling with learning French until I took up Rocket French.
This is my first week with Rocket Languages in French. I am a senior who used to be fluent in this language as well as others, many, many years ago. Some words and phrases do look familiar, but I am a bit overwhelmed at this point. And that has nothing to do with the program, which is excellent. It's me, I have to find my way back to studying on the internet vs. the class room. Is it beneficial to keep a vocabulaire, as we did when I first studied French, or do I simply listen and absorb it all; hoping my older brain will absorb and retain the material. I am excited to learn French in a totally different way than I did in the late 1950's. Comparing Rocket Languages to other offers, this one definitely get's 5 stars. I might want to add that Swiss German is my mother tongue, and now my every day language is English.
I've subscribed to many language courses and used many methods, and this is by far the most comprehensive and well-structured. It shows clearly how it aligns with the CEFR, which I find very useful. I've had some trouble using the "record" feature on PC, but I find I am very well able to use it through iOS, and so I can get the full suite of features one way or another. Queries I've had with using the course have been helpfully answered by the support team. I have now also subscribed to the Rocket Italian course as well, as I am very happy with the way this course structure works. Highly recommended. :)
Overall a very good product, all of the dialogue is clear and of high quality. The reinforcement section is particularly good for practicing what you've learnt. Rocket French is one of the better premium products out there and I recommend it to any serious language learner.
RF is a quality program, it's voice recognition best I have seen. there are discounted prices available that make it a good deal. would like to see it continue to develop learning scenarios. still not sure if RF or any other learning method will prepare one to comprehend native speakers in France. next visit will tell
