I'm really enjoying the pedagogy of this course and I am learning lots of French. It really does build beautifully from one lesson to the next and very good range of different teaching and learning strategies. However there are two problems that do impede the enjoyment of this. The first is the awful script given to 'Paul' one of the two presenters. It feels like something from the 1980s in terms of how sexist it is and this is surprising considering the quality of everything else on this course. The second problem is a technical problem that appears towards the end of the first module (lesson 6.3 and 6.4) where the transcript of the discussions stops working. It is possible to scroll down to look at the phrases used - but the running transcript that has been a feature of the earlier lessons freezes after the first couple of minutes which is a shame. Other than that - this is a really good course. But please course writers - can you update the script so that this does not offend future listeners.

Thanks so much for your review Gerry. It's great to hear that you are learning lots of French! Regarding Paul's script, we wanted to let you know that we are planning on reviewing the Rocket French level 1 Interactive Audio lessons next year, and so anything deemed inappropriate, etc, will be removed from the lessons. Finally, in regards to the transcripts, we are currently working on ironing out any issues still occurring in this new feature, but please don't hesitate to contact the Customer Support team with any further feedback. All the best with your continued language learning!
I love that from the start I am reading, speaking, listening, and consequently encouraged to think in French from the very start. The lessons are multifaceted and keep you interested.
It is WAY to expensive for what it is! Not worth it.

Thanks so much for your feedback. We believe that our courses offer the best "bang for buck" because you will actually learn and be able to use the language, rather than just pick up a few phrases here and there, right from the start. Rocket French teaches you 1000s of practical words and phrases, as well as the grammar rules that help you put it all together. The course gives you lots of opportunity to practice what you have learned, and really build your French speaking confidence. Plus, the courses come with lifetime access to the lessons, and so they very quickly become far more cost effective than other methods of learning, such as group classes or private tuition. I hope that helps!
so far so good I am really enjoying the conversations and the explanations to it. It's online self taught I think there is still more room to improve the real dialogue lessons to practice pronunciation correctly. A more testing tool like exercises would also improve learners evaluation of grasping the concepts.
For the first time I am hearing my own voice in French. There so much to improve. I'd never realized it if not for this excellent Rocket's course. Highly recommended.
Fantastic course! Thank you very much for the opportunity given to try learning the French for free at the beginning!
It's well organized and structured - as the learning materials given for audio and visual perception and combined with tasks and quizzes. Many thanks once more! Mercy
I feel that this course is great and it really helps me understand how to learn french in a way that I can process the information. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that is starting out a language and are struggling this is great for people who want to learn.
It's great to be able to hear French speakers speaking normally and then be able to copy and respond. Really helps get your ear in, and practice speaking fluently, and with the correct rhythm - which is so French. Super!
Very poor experience regarding the numerous simple spelling mistakes and inconsistent and sometimes just plain wrong translations. I expected much more from a paid for language learning tool.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thanks so much for your review. When writing translations, we try to find a balance between being as literal as possible, while also conveying the meaning of a sentence. If there are any phrases you think we could translate more literally, please don't hesitate to send them through to our customer support team. Regarding spelling errors, we are in the process of going through all of the Rocket French lessons at the moment, and so you should soon find that this is no longer an issue. Our apologies for the frustration caused!
The method of teaching is good. Exercise to repeat the same words or sentence following the native speaker is an excellent idea. And the French native instructor has very clear sound and voice.
Merci!
