Rocket Languages review criteria
Rocket is absolutely brilliant. The way to learn a language is to see it, speak it, and write it. It is obvious a lot of thought has gone into the way the system is set up, from starting off with commonly used sentences, to gradually working in spelling, pronunciation, grammar, language, and cultural lessons. There are so many great features, like being able to record and play back conversations, using flashcards, spelling reviews, etc. I'm a new user, but I've used other off-line and on-line language courses for Spanish, and Rocket French is far superior. Sometimes the cheapest way to do something is to pay for it, and that is true in this case. It is money well worth spending.
Rocket French is the most wonderful website I have encountered to help me learn French. It's easy to use on mobile app as well as on the computer. It's way in teaching and monitoring the progress is very motivating, and what's really remarkable about it is the beautiful accent of the native speaker, Claire, that I've started to acquire which was pleasantly noticeable to my family and friends that I am capable of speaking French beautifully!
I have just started using Rocket French after completing the entire Rosetta Stone software. I can tell Rocket French is already more effective and the structure improves the ability to retain key parts of the language.
I love the app, let me tell you, it is not easy but it will challenge you every step of the way! Take your time. I have been learning French since the beginning of 2020. I have been all over the place. I have used Pimsleur, Assimil, and Rocket language is by far the best for me! I am a native speaker of Español, and Fluent in English (40+ yrs) I understand Italian, Portuguese and French. But have decided to actually study French. I watch TV shows, movies, and listen to music all in French. My iPhone and computer language is also French! I do a 30 minutes lesson and take notes and practice vocabulary that I find challenging. But over all a lot of fun, I feel more confident now. Oh and I also record a 1 to 3 minutes video talking about my day, food, work, going to the gym etc! The bottom line is you have to make it fun!
I have just started using Rocket French again, after using it briefly before travelling overseas last year. Using it in conjunction with in person lessons to boost my learning as I want to challenge myself, and I'm finding it quite useful so far. The fact that I can use it on my computer, or on my phone while in the car on bluetooth is great, and I love that it updates my progress on both.
The program seems to have trouble recognising when I say "Vous" - But speech recognition is a great feature otherwise. There was an error with the 1.2 quiz, not logging my 5/5 result on the computer, but it did work on the iPhone app.
All in all and good product so far. Thank you.
I really like the automatic recording function, when Playing a part, in one of the conversations. I also like the extra lessons on grammar!
Response from Rocket Languages
It's great to hear that you like the conversation practice that Rocket French offers as well as the extra grammar lessons. We're sure that you'll be speaking French in no time. We wish you all the best with the course!
Well I think that Rocket Languages should be all five stars. Duolingo actually only takes you to around B2 level, while someone can pass GCSE, IGCSE and their O Levels in French by completing Level 3. Level 1 is the A family (A1-2), Level 2 is the B family (B1-2), and Level 3 is the C family (C1-2). Honestly, this must be all five stars.
I find the course very well constructed. However, the silly small talk in the interactive lessons are annoying. I fast forward past the music and small talk about things that have nothing to do with the lesson to get to the real content and it is irritating to the focussed student.
I bought the Rocket French some years ago full of good intentions, but things got in the way of making a serious start to learning until a few weeks ago and 'voila' - full access was still there. The convenience of being able to download all the lessons on my phone and hook up the earphones for long commutes is an excellent way of immersing oneself in the language and also having the ability to flick back to the conversation transcripts and vocabulary is great when one has to check spelling etc.
I'm really pleased with this programme and recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone wanting to start the enjoyable journey of learning French.
Au revoir!
Happy customer.
Rocket Languages is the best language program that I have ever used. It isn't like other programs that drill your brain with constant vocabulary words and phrases that you would never use in real life. It actually gives you useful information, practical information that will allow you to survive and also eventually become fluent in whatever language you're studying.
