Rocket French Reviews

This is by a mile the best language learning tool I have ever used. The emphasis on pronunciation and getting to learn the language and how to make the sounds from a French native really gives me confidence in my accent.

a lot of the time the microphone button doesn't work

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.

I moved to France without speaking a word of French and bought this program after reading some good reviews of it online. I've bought some other online resources but Rocket French is the only one I've ended up coming back to repeatedly for self-study. The dialogues are well done: I like the brief explanations of the vocab and the repetition is helpful without being tedious. I've actually been able to use the structures in real conversation here in France. The program has been improved a lot even since I bought it, and now you can practice what you learn in every possible format--- writing, reading, speaking, listening --- and the ability to download the audio is great if you want to listen to it in your car. Sometimes I listen to a dialogue several times before looking at the transcript and this helps me figure out how well my listening comprehension is coming along. I'm really happy with this program and recommend it to anyone looking for an entertaining way to learn French.

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.

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. :)

I've been trying to learn French off and on for many years, but have always struggled with conversation. Having gone through the first few lessons in the trial version, I feel like my spoken French has improved more than it did in any of the classes I took. I would feel comfortable having a simple conversation with someone in real life after this short time. Seeing that kind of progress is motivating! The testing modules following each of the lessons do a really good job of helping you internalize the language that was taught in the lesson. The voice recognition software can sometimes be a bit slow or finicky, which may be partially due to my computer. I've had the best luck using the recently updated iPhone app. I would definitely recommend the French product. It is much less expensive than I would pay for classes that cover the same amount of material, and I believe I will actually be more proficient with Rocket French.

One note: I haven't had any contact with the company, so I cannot comment on the customer service, but don't want to give them a bad rating. One the I noticed was that the issues that I experienced initially with the iPhone app were resolved the next time I logged in. The company seems to be working hard to give customers a good product.

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 chose Rocket French after trying various other systems to improve my French language. It is a much more efficient and enjoyable experience and I am content with the outcomes. A great advantage for me is that there are no time limitations to complete the course. This gives me the ability to study at my own pace and repeat any lessons, or all of them, if I need to do so. Additionally, writing, speaking and listening as part of each lesson, maximises my learning experience and the quiz provides the means of testing how I have performed

I'm 57 years old, I took 4 years of French in school, but have not maintained it. My family is planning a vacation to northern France soon, and I love listening to Rocket French on my 20-30 minute commute. I love the fact that learning a language keeps me 'in the moment', by necessity. I'm not driving into work after 20-30 minutes of negative reverie about my job! I enjoy your presenters, bad jokes and all...
