Bonjour! I've just purchased all 3 levels after four days of practice. Honestly, I've tried quite a few language learning software programs and this is by the far among the best out there. Although I think it's more than worth the cost, I still struggled with whether to pay for it or not. However, by the end, I'm positive I'll be glad I went for it, especially if I can get to an advanced level of speaking as desired! This program has you coming back, often many times in a day, eager to start the next part of the module to see where you'll go next. My only issue is the recording on my PC, it doesn't seem to work as well as through the app on my phone, so I think I'll be doing any speaking parts through there.

Please contact customer support about the recording issue. These things are usually easily sorted out!
Rocket French method is easy and simple but as Italian I can better learn by focusing on the French words that most of the times are similar to Italian ones. Anyhow this rocket French explains and teaches me in English language and in this way I can even learn more English. Therefore I suggest this Rocket Version to the Italians in order that they can learn English and French as well.
The lessons help you learn french systematically and its great to go back to previous lessons and review what you've learned through flashcards and assessments (quiz, know it etc.).. It is my first attempt at learning french and so far it is engaging and motivates me to move through the lessons without giving up. I think this is key when learning a new language which can be highly frustrating. The only thing I could criticize is the voice recognition needs to be improved as it is 80% functional. All in all, great learning experience!
The interface is excellent, and the lesson design is excellent. I've tried Rosetta Stone and another program before, and I find Rocket French far better.
The voice recognition, however, is lame. Short words are near impossible. My accent is doubtless awful, but I can mutter a vulgar epithet and get 25%, whereas it will tell me, "Sorry, I didn't get that" on repeat efforts at "gros." This feature sorely needs work.
I am learning Rocket French and i do enjoy listening to the audio lessons in the car.. My only criticism is that i wish there were more audio lessons. Also the quiz section for the language and culture lessons are frustrating, it only tests you on the words/sentences that are listed and maybe should be testing more on the actual theory behind the subject. Also some of the audio lessons are surprisingly sexist? maybe due for an update to bring into 2018 Rocket??!
I am enjoying the audio lessons and I particularly like the additional explanations on grammar points and the way they ask you to apply the learning in different ways. It would be great if this learning approach was also applied to the revision exercises, which do a good job of consolidating the phrases in the audio lesson (even if it is a little too repetitive) but don't stretch you to apply the underlying grammar principles to new situations. It would also be good if the revision sometimes threw in words and phrases from earlier lessons as a way of consolidating what you have learned before. I also find the voice recognition very difficult to use. It very often doesn't pick up on what I'm saying.
I have owned Rocket French for several years, but have not had the time to devote to it. I find that it quite comprehensive, so far, for conversational French. I also to Duolingo and really like it to set me straight on French grammar. One gets a lot of practice there, especially if one makes many mistakes, as I do. Also one can review to one's hears's continent. I don't know if one can actually learn conversational French with Duolingo, but it does give one the basics to experiment with French speakers or others learning the language.
However, I think that (I haven't actually tried it) one will learn conversational French more quickly with Rocket French. I cannot vouch for any other method.
I have had two semesters of French at a university. I also value that experience very highly.
So far (I am only on Lesson 1.3) the experience is good. The conversation is applicable to everyday life - and I am looking forward to using these phrases, as they stick in my head and on my tongue, next week on a business trip to Paris. I need to keep practicing saying the phrases, and comparing my pronunciation and word rhythm with the recordings.
I've been doing the Rocket French course for about a month and it's really helping me out so far. I cannot compose complex sentences yet, but I can comprehend parts of french songs texts and I feel I'm really learning the language.
Because I'm a native portuguese and fluent english speaker, many parts of the language are familiar to me (gender, pronouns and some nouns in case of portuguese, and many nouns in case of english) which seems to help my learning process.
I'm doing benchmarks on the end of each module to track my evolution and during each module I review the previous day lesson to fix it on my mind. The interesting part of it is that I can easely remember the phrases of that lesson and the hard ones become much easier (specially in a pronounce aspect).
I'd like to have a simpler way of adding words to flashcards (as easy as adding them to My Vocab) and to have lessons with no more than 40 words each (i.e a Rocket Reinforcenment of 60 words has 80 more exercises than one with 40 words), for it's harder to learn all of the content and it's more tiresome to complete all exercises.
Another difficulty I have is to differentiate some plural words from singular ones, like "elle" and "elles" which sound the same to me (at least when spoken alone).
Other than that, I really like the grammar lessons, for they are easy to understand and not boring at all (which is kinda surprising for me)!
Current streak also motivates me to keep the most days I can without missing a lesson.
it is good and easy to learn any language in any time any where just all you need is internet and your attention it is super easy i hope every one needs to learn any new language they should try this web site
with all my respects
