Just starting to test the waters with Rocket French. Can't really say much yet since it's too early, but I keep noticing that the speech recognition isn't working accurately. My voice is either not getting recognized or if I deliberately mispronounce I get 100%. That's a bit of a downer. Considering the cost of this course, I'd expect it to work without issues.

Hi Richard, thanks so much for your review. We're sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the voice recognition. Please contact our customer support team for help at [email protected]. All the best with your language learning!
Amazing course.
I am learning really fast with this method. It is a 5-star-worth-course.
Incredible!!!So much better than the other courses that i made along my life.
I love rocket french, it is easy to work with and you will understand the language of your choice in a way that you will enjoy learning.
Pros:
+good quality audio and content
+many different exercises to practice
+audio recognition exercises
+daily rank is very motivating
Cons:
-pricing is high due to exchange rate (PLN/USD)
-Mobile app UI (android) is not well designed (too small icons; far away buttons; a lot empty space; hand becomes quickly tiered from jumping from record icon to easy/medium/hard button)
-a little too much English in recordings
Ideas:
-bigger buttons; small mobile app redesign
-access to recording transcript (more than just one sentence at a time)
-accumulation of all flashcards and other exercise into one big place to exercise what I already should know;

Thanks so much for your feedback, Kris. We will pass this on to our developer team for their consideration. All the best with your language learning!
I am a visual learner,
so I need a visual phonetic interpretation of the language
before I can pronounce it.
Unfortunately,
Rocket Language only does this to my pronunciation attempt.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thanks for your review, Phillip. All French words and phrases included in the course are accompanied by both written French, and by English translations, as well as audio to tune your ear to French pronunciation. Our podcast-style audio lessons are fully transcribed. Unfortunately, we don't provide a phonetic interpretation of the language, but the following two lessons help learners recognize the sounds that each letter or accents make: "Alphabet and Pronunciation"; " Important Pronunciation Tips". I hope that helps! All the best with your language learning.
This is literally what i need, as an spanish speaker i last like 5-6 years on school learning B1-B2 english level but here I'm sure that i will reach that same level (french) on less time. Merci!
It is interactive how the lessons go. Unfortunately, it is at least to say "expensive".

Thanks so much for your review, Bruno. While our courses might seem expensive, we do give learners lifetime access, which means that you can take all the time you need to finish the course - even if you take a 2 year break, your account remains active, and you will be able to log in again whenever you are ready. We also feel that our courses are thorough, and really teach you the language, rather than just some random phrases that aren't useful in real life situations. Our grammar lessons help our learners understand the language they are learning, and we include lots of reinforcement to help it all sink in. Finally, for those who find a one-off payment a little daunting, we offer a 6-month payment plan. I hope that helps! All the best with your language learning.
I'm very happy with it thus far. Rocket French gives you a short podcast-type recording and follows it up with quizzes on what you just learned. The quiz types are varied too including pronunciation exercises, writing, and flashcards, which keeps it engaging and helps retention. I was able to get a decent discount from an affiliate also (still more expensive than other) but definitely well worth the price.
I also put 5 starts for customer service, but haven't had to interact with them at all at this point, though I wouldn't be concerned given how well organized everything seems to be.
I love Rocket Languages. I did Italian first (well, I'm still doing it). I found Italian lessons easier to learn. I guess French is more complicated. Sometimes I do get frustrated because I know I'm pronouncing the word/phrase correctly and the recording does not accept it. But besides that, I am very pleased with this system.
