I completed all French lessons from the most popular online language learning course. When I finished, I couldn't carry on a conversation. I chatted with another student online who had taken the same classes, and he told me not to become discouraged. He went through the lessons three times before he became comfortable. That shouldn't be necessary. I decided to try Rocket French instead. In a few days, I was able to start speaking simple and useful sentences! This may be a matter of learning style; different people learn differently, but there is no question that Rocket French is better for me. The other learning program is total immersion with no explanations in English. Simple things like "de le" is "du" is something I had to figure out, whereas Rocket French explains that and it's so much easier. There is so much conversational practice in French that I don't feel that I'm missing out by reading explanations in English. I leave for Paris in a few weeks, and I already know so much more than I did a week ago! Today I will complete Module 1 and over the weekend I hope to finish Module 2. Making such quick progress has made me obsessed! By the time I go, I expect to be comfortable ordering food in a restaurant, shopping, and meeting new people in French! Of course I can't become proficient in such a short time, but French people I've spoken with are very patient when we try to learn. Merci beaucoup Rocket French!

Excellent training aid. Challenging without becoming boring or monotonous.
Good value product. I am very impressed with how much I have learnt and retained during the course. Often due to other priorities, I have to miss lessons for a couple of weeks or so. However, when I return it takes very little time to get back into the course

This is how I would love to have been taught French while at school! Although I have continued to study French on and off over the years using books and different online courses, and can just about survive when travelling in France, my main difficulty has been in understanding what is being said to me (I can read French a bit) and suffering from 'brain freeze' whenever asked a question! Rocket French has been a dream come true for me - I decided to start from the very beginning rather than go in at a higher level and I've not only understood some rules for the first time, but it's really helped reinforce what I knew but had forgotten over time! The course is entertaining and engaging, never boring, and is the only online course I've discovered where the level of engagement is so high. You also get the feeling that you really are learning French the way modern day French people speak. There are other online courses which are cheaper, but for the progress I've already made in just a few weeks, Rocket is extremely good value for money. I would really recommend this course to anyone, regardless of the level they are presently at. I wished I'd discovered Rocket earlier!

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Ivan - It's likely that your microphone hasn't been set up correctly, as we have had no other reported issues of the voice recognition not working. I would recommend checking out our FAQs and/or contacting customer support with details of your system.

To date I have purchased two modules for Rocket French and Rocket Italian. I found RF while it was in it's infancy because at the time of purchase only Premium Level One was available. A few months later I received an email about Rocket French Level Two and I jumped to add it. Then a short time later I received the announcement about Rocket Italian. To date I have only used the RF. I use it in conjunction with two other pieces of software. One of them is Duolingo. However, what I like about RF is that it is more thorough. I like the two speakers/hosts of the program as well. Paul with his English charm and Marie Claire with her lovely, French personality. The two make each lesson fun and entertaining. So far I have made good progress with RF but I have one gripe. The voice recognition needs more work. I use a headset that works well with other voice recognition programs but RF doesn't always recognize the sentence as I repeat it. And this is frustrating when you play or hear Paul or Marie-Claire pronounce the sentence as you just recorded. This is the one major issue I have. Well this and the fact that I get nagging messages if I try to use a browser other than Google Chrome or Chromium. Overall, I do like the program and have made more progress with my French when I come here than anywhere else. Thanks for a quality product.

Awesome?
Well, we do not like Paul's condescending and patronizing manner (it's not funny). We are both teachers, and we were hoping for more professionalism.
My husband and I are going through the lessons together, and we feel the lesson content is practical and appropriate. We feel we are learning a lot to use in everyday situations.
Bon Chance!

Im extremely satisfied with Rocket Language French Course. I truly believe that you are the best French online Course. Having bought many Courses years ago, I regret to try to use them so late, due to many problems of time. I suposse that one proof of my honest judgment is that I am 77 years old, so I don´t like to state what I don´t feel as true. Your bilingual teaching is one of the most important things that you could have chosen. Very nice! Also, the high technical resources you have here, plus the easy way to connect with your website without the horrible experiences in other websites...!, the beautiful presentation of your Courses, attracting and pleasant customers to follow the lessons, and the thourouglhly care you have put in every lesson , helping students to really improve their french knowledge , these are powerful reasons for me to have no doubts at the time of a language website option. I indeed pray to have a long life time to enjoy and take advantage of your French Course, and maybe other ones if I should have time to deal with them. . So, my best and sincere congratulations to everyone in the team, specially to you, Marie -Claire Riviere. Thanks, thanks a lot!

I am learning French just for fun. I think of it as a game. But I wanted to do this at my own pace, at home, and whenever and wherever I want it. RocketFrench is exactly what I was looking for.
I can use it at home, while on vacation, in plane, etc. The content is just sufficient to cover the most basic elements of learning a new Language and I love it.
The "part Play" section in the practice / test section I love the most. Brilliant.
And all these content and feature, for a great price. The Price / Quality is in my opinion wonderful.

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!

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.
