Rocket French has been my desired language software.. I enjoy the learning style. The microphone, and writing capacity of this program. It is fun to practice and learn at your own pace. I would recommend this program. Love the flashcards and different opportunities for learning.
rocket Chinese...alas,I wish I have been studying hard. but...I actually speak Chinese. rocket French is biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiien.
Rocket has been awesome for helping me to reconnect with my high school french, which I studied over 20 years ago. Great how it covers listening, speaking and reading/writing. I love how interactive it is, makes it actually really fun!! Easy to set personal challenges with the score keeping and badges etc.
Overall, Rocket French is a solid product for beginners like me who are starting to learn French. The interactive audio lessons are well constructed, and with the various assessment tools the overall learning experience is more than what you would typically expect from an online offering. The quality of the lessons are somewhat similar to the ones from a private tutor. Even though the price for all 3 levels combined is on the higher end, I've found it to be well worth the money. I would recommend this to a French learner!
I started with the French course 10 days ago. I struggled to learn french in school but am finding this a much more pleasant and effective approach. Like the focus on spoken french with the gradual introduction of grammar rules. I found the lessons engaging and the right amount of information to absorb at one go - and the various supporting tools (dialogues. reviews, flashcards, etc). are all helpful in reinforcing the initial learning. I had to travel to Brussels and after a week of study I had the confidence to engage in basic dialogues in French - honestly! Compared to French language lessons I think it offers good value for money.
Only downsides are that only the lessons are downloadable and you need to be online to use other resources. Also if you don't have chrome a lot of the features like voice recognition are unavailable. No use of customer service - should be a N/A option on the star ratings.
So far so good! I'm learning phrases fairly quickly. It would be helpful to have a walkthrough on basic letter sounds before starting to dive into phrases and grammar, though. I still can't figure out the r sound and feel like I'm having issues with each lesson as a result.
I was happy with Rocket French in the beginning but as I am now in lesson 6 I find it extremely frustrating. I cannot remember 2-3 phrases and then say them quickly enough. I am constantly being cut off in mid sentence, and no I haven't paused, and the voice recognition is not very good.

Rocket Languages is a huge help in my life of learning other languages. now I know four languages. so helpful. you need to learn at least one language. the guides are very helpful.###love French !! .......................................................................................................
I tried learning French using a CD set and books, but found the process slow and inflexible. With RF, I am able to vary the pace of learning and really focus on pronunciation. I also like the different forms of learning offered and the mix between conversational French and grammar. Well done on a great product!
Please can you let me know how I can use the keyboard in the "Write It" section? I am able to type some of the accents, but others are less obvious? Perhaps there are keystroke sequences that I need to learn?
Kind Regards

Response from Rocket Languages
At the bottom left of the keyboard there is a check box that, when checked, shows the different accents.
I have looked for quite some time for a French program that would help me practise my skills and I have to say I am very impressed with this program. You don't even realize that you are absorbing the language, and by the end of the lesson you are amazed with what you remember!
