Rocket French Reviews

I have been working on my French via Rocket French for three years with breaks of a few months here and there while traveling. I find it enjoyable and fulfilling when I jump back into Rocket French. The recent changes in the program have added to the enjoyment and learning experience. Keep up the good work! I appreciate it.

Great product. Very well structured, organized and involving. Voice recognition fails though and only somewhat useful and I had a feeling the app becomes dysfunctional from time to time. And also if the course would be adaptive - it would be a real hit.

I have been studying rocket French for only three days and I have learned a lot of words. It is fantastic and unbelievable. I tried another programs but I think Rocket French is the best. I recommend everyone who wants to learn French.

Salut!
I discovered Rocket French years ago when it was available as a download. This course above any others -including live course instruction - has given me the confidence to speak and use the language. My french skills have been invaluable in my multiple travels to France and even Morocco. Feeling in need of review, I am delighted that the new version, with its interactive courses, is here at my convenience. I look forward to the enhancements and more of Paul and Claire that fuel my infectious enthusiasm about the language and culture of France!

This is an outstanding portal if you want to learn French online. In the last four weeks, I could complete four exercises from the section 'Meeting, Greeting, Food and, Drink' and I really enjoy the conversations between Paul and Claire - these conversations actually ring in my year in the middle of night.
Before making this purchase, I had studied on the net and with a little bit of apprehension I had made this purchase because I had heard about the other competing products - Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur's French - and wanted to make the right choice.
I think I have made the right choice.
I must state here that the bonus lessons do need improvements as John and Julie are not in the same league with Paul and Claire.
Au Revoir

Absolutely the most convenient way to learn a second language!! I enjoyed that I could slow down or speed up where I needed and could go back and repeat anything I wanted to refresh. I also enjoyed being able to hear the pronunciations and practice with voice recognition. It worked perfectly with my busy schedule!!

I waited a couple of months before my review so that I could be completely confident of my experience. I have become hooked on this style of learning, it is just what I was missing. You can hear your recording and compare it with a native speaker and repeat it until you get it right. There is voice recognition software that rates you, but it is sometimes inconsistent. But that is not a major issue to me. Considering you have unlimited time to learn, the price is right. I am starting to do the written test first since spelling helps me with remembering the words used in the other tests. The testing itself is a great teaching tool. Thank you Rocket guys!

I enjoy every minute learning with Rocket. Especially, I can walk or wait for something or even do the dishes- and learn. Paul and Clare are so charming, their pronunciation is perfect. For the first time learning new language is relaxing and fast.

I learned French in school in Canada, but after so many years having not practiced the language, my memory was latent and rusty. I am primarily motivated to brush up on my French for professional purposes and - for this purpose - having been investigating on-line French learning options. I settled on Rocket French due to so many reasons: interactive learning; focus on pronunciation; repeated exercises; explanation in English of French grammar and rules; etc. I could go on...

Thank you Rocket French staff for helping me - at my own pace - to re-learning French and giving me the confidence to speak with French-speaking professionals!

I'm very glad I found Rocket French. Paul and Claire are great presenters who work well as a team. Paul's touches of humour and teasing keep the mood light so it hardly feels that you are working. I enjoy the little snippets of background information he drops in which help me to remember.

I have been playing the audio lessons in the car when commuting, and I am now trying to spend more time with the interactive tools. It is very useful to be able to hear Claire pronouncing individual words and phrases (repeated as many times as I want), and to see the words written down. My only criticism is the voice recognition software, which is frustrating and unreliable. I now ignore what seem to be totally arbitrary "scores" and just compare the recording of my attempts against Claire's original examples.

I have found the Rocket system to be a great way to learn the language. I am now well ahead of the "traditional" French language course which I enrolled in at the same time, and which has a more academic focus. Rocket French equips you to deal with real situations, which for most people, is what you really need if you're planning on a holiday rather than an exam.
