Rocket French Reviews

I just bought this rocket french yesterday, and I find it extremely helpful. Now I'm working on module 1 lesson 2. I definitely are very satisfied with my experience of Rocket Languages, but I'm not so likely to buy it again because of price problems. Anyways, the Customer Service was was great. I also like how we have points and take an record of streaks, that way we can encourage ourselves to spend more time in learning on Rocket Languages. All in all, I really liked it!

Wow! with some knowledge I gained while studying as an Etudiant/Student at Alliance France in Kampala, I can confidently confirm and be proud that after graduating in Bachelor of Computer Science and IT sometime in March, 2019, I will be a little far in French language speaking!
In addition to that, being a life member of Rocket French society, I will endeavor to ensure that French is my second best spoken language to English. Merci a tous.

Ne t’inquiète pas!

A bientôt!

Rocket Languages is very user friendly. It is formatted in a way that helps you really grasp the language! I found it much more enjoyable than Rosetta Stone, and the price is better too! I would highly recommend Rocket Languages to anyone looking to learn the basics of a new language.

I had done basic French in High School and University. The conversational approach to practice in my home at my pace is very good for building my phrasing and vocabulary. It may seem silly, but I now know how to ask someone to speak more slowly. An hour a day is simply time for myself and a lesson is complete. I think if you have never studied French a lesson being done more than once may be needed. And that is easy to do with this program.

Pleasantly surprised with Rocket French! I've been doing a lesson a day for just over a week and am very pleased with the content and the focus on listening and speaking rather than written French. The humour is great, I find the English guy very funny. Am hoping the rest of the course is as good as what I've seen so far.

Besides my native Czech I speak and write English and Russian fluently, both of which I learned the traditional way. Now I am at the end of Level 1 of Rocket French. The Rocket approach is very effective, I am learning about 4 times faster than with the traditional school method.
It is still work, it does require discipline but there are little pleasures about it as well. The lesson speakers Claire and Paul are very charming, in particular, Claire's speech is just lovely.
The customer support is fast and effective even so that it is limited to the application programming issues. They will not respond to anything related to the language itself or any issue beyond that what is outside the screen.
The Rocket method "weaves" the language, it gives a hint of word meanings, then hint of grammar then both the meanings and the grammar reappear later with a slight twist building up the full grasp. Similarly so with the common phrases.
Another strength is the voice recognition, it works very well (nearly). The computer has no mercy, so when you say it right, you know your pronunciation is right, no less. But the program does have limitations, if I try to work on a lesson around 8pm there is not enough bandwith for the voice recognition. All of sudden 30% of sentences are rejected, not recognized etc. while off hours I get rarely anything wrong.

C'est tout

After much deliberation and internet searches reading reviews of French courses I took the plunge and purchased Rocket French. I preferred once-off purchase with lifetime access to updates versus monthly subscription based courses for a start.

My available time for daily study /practise is limited so being able to download the audio lessons to practise during my daily commute is great as well as the ability to go at my own pace. Coming from a zero French knowledge base the structure of the course encourages me to continue with the next lesson as at the end of each lesson I am able understand the lesson conversation (which sounded like gibberish at the beginning of the lesson to me!)

Nothing "awesome" to say. I thought you wanted my honest, candid feedback. Still waiting for help on the problem of inserting special characters in the writing practice section of lessons. Rocket told me I must wait two to four days.

I get the impression Rocket also doesn't teach grammar either—at least not overtly. Disappointing.

What's your return policy?

I have used Rosetta Stone and Berlitz in the past to become comfortable with Italian and German before trips. I found both of those much easier than Rocket. The English accent of the narrator makes it hard to follow, and the pace is very slow, which leads me to get distracted mid-lesson.

Overall a good course - perhaps a few too many bells and whistles. In the French course the instructor needs to speak MUCH more slowly and enunciate more clearly. Speaking too fast, especially in the early stages, does NOT provide the student with proper pronunciation. It may be the way many French people speak day to day, but you need to learn the proper way to say things before speaking rapidly. I speak some French and what I'm hearing is not clear for a new student to learn properly.
