Rocket French Reviews

I enjoy the lessons. They are amusing and move quick enough to be educational. Good topics covered. Best pronunciation coaching by a computer program I’ve seen by far. Even photos of France. Flash cards / “ know it” make one think hard.

I like the lessons and the reinforcement activities as I really feel that I will recall the various words and phrases in my longer term memory. The emphasis on pronunciation is good but even at an easy setting sometimes the words don't register correctly - however it is good on improving my speech.
There are a few annoyances - the lesson is 20 minutes, not sure why we need the opening and closing music. Paul does seem to speak English with a strange accent which is distracting. Given the price of the course I would assume that this is aimed at adults so we don't need the forced cheerfulness and "jokes" that are included. I would rather the lesson had more actual learning content and less slang words.
I purchased the course as it has grammar lessons - these are OK but I generally have a lot of questions on minor points which are not covered - a reference as to whether these will be covered later in the course would be useful.
I would also like to know how the 3 levels equate to external standards. For the UK for instance if you do the 3 levels is this equivalent to a GCSE qualification or would it be more A level standard as I would like to take my French further.

Salut tout le monde, I'm quite satisfied with the course so far. I think it is a great app that can help me to really, really learn French. Certainly, it takes time to complete each lesson. But, from my point of view, it is worth the time and effort.
À bientôt,
Carmen

I'm really enjoying the pedagogy of this course and I am learning lots of French. It really does build beautifully from one lesson to the next and very good range of different teaching and learning strategies. However there are two problems that do impede the enjoyment of this. The first is the awful script given to 'Paul' one of the two presenters. It feels like something from the 1980s in terms of how sexist it is and this is surprising considering the quality of everything else on this course. The second problem is a technical problem that appears towards the end of the first module (lesson 6.3 and 6.4) where the transcript of the discussions stops working. It is possible to scroll down to look at the phrases used - but the running transcript that has been a feature of the earlier lessons freezes after the first couple of minutes which is a shame. Other than that - this is a really good course. But please course writers - can you update the script so that this does not offend future listeners.

The method of teaching is good. Exercise to repeat the same words or sentence following the native speaker is an excellent idea. And the French native instructor has very clear sound and voice.
Merci!

I'm really in love with rocket French course because it's so interesting and well explained

Love the website, easy to navigate. Lots of useful options

Just started but I like all the different practicing options after a lesson. Really good to let it all sink in.

From the news letters received so far, Rocket French seems the best so far when I compared it with other platforms. They have great learning platforms. I hope there will be a consideration for creating a package for those who wish to learn from intermediate to advance.

Way too much English spoken in the course. My experience of learning a language is that total immersion is the fastest way to learn.

In this course the constant interruption with English is very distracting.,
