Rocket French Reviews

I found the courses interactive! Better than using Duolingo for the first month as this helps me to build a base and interest in learning the language. But I kind of get to a plateau after finishing level 2, so I go to do the travelogue, which is quite fun. Though at the first half of travelogue, I found the story plot is like kind of missing something, luckily the later part improves a lot with more conversation. But it is frustrating that there isn't a all-merge dialogue that includes all the audios from previous lessons, like the review audio in level 1,2,3. So basically I can't go hand-free to listen back the dialogues that I have gone through while I am cooking, running ...etc. And the updated version of level 1,2,3 is putting away something I found very nice - that’s having the conversion dialogue at the end of the same lesson page, instead of putting them at the “all conversation” part. Hope these features can be added and improved. Thanks!

I have only had it one day and love it already. I'm looking forward to my journey.

It's a fine course. It's easy and gets you working on it each day. Nevertheless, the whole program is not that advanced. I was looking for something that can take me from B1 to C or so.

I've only been using Rocket French for 6 days, several hours per day, but I really like the balance of the approach so far. They don't give you too much to absorb at any one time, and they do a good job of going over it from different angles to aid your comprehension and retention. It's a casual, but effective approach. I've had no issues using Firefox, although the voice recognition isn't there, but I have no problems evaluating my own pronunciation by comparing it to the audio. I did have problems with Edge. Haven't used it with Safari yet.

Great, very structured course with a lot of great content suitable for all levels. Content is well explained and there is plenty of opportunity to practice speaking aloud. I wish that the review activities have more varieties. The writing practice, speaking practice and flashcard activities are quite repetitive.

According to me it is extremely good because someone is able to learn the pronunciation of the words in French and at the same time learning to to write in friend.. It is a good learning tool really.... Absolutely awesome

My product review should be understood in the context of a man in his 70s struggling to learn a new language. Before purchasing the premium version of Rocket French, I had used Duo, Babbel, and taken an introductory course at a local community college. Duo is easy enough, not demanding. It is a source of vocabulary, but one can put in many hours without confidence of using the words in speech. Babbel promised more interaction, but the speech sensitivity is seriously flawed. Otherwise the program is brisk and challenging. My college class showed that one's hearing in late retirement is unreliable, so keeping up with students less than ⅓ of my age was troubling.
Rocket French requires lots of oral practice, which the others lack. The tablet version of the program (I use a new iPad Pro with gobs of memory) has a problem similar to Babbel's, where the end of sentences are ignored. I can test this by just repeating the phrases that are missed and it translates those just fine. On my desktop iMac, the program works just fine.
Rocket French is more expensive than the other drills, and quite possibly less costly to create. I find that the method is engaging and leans more directly on the need to listen and speak. It has become my primary learning tool.

what is this language learning program. it is terrible. im saying the right things but it thinks im wrong.

Je suis tres content avec le course francais, mais cette ce le commence. Je adore apprendre langues et Je espere parler et ecouter tres bien le francais.

A bientot

I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to try to use this program. The program has so much trouble hearing what I'm repeating back to it. The company's FAQ says to use headsets; I am. Then it says it's because they have it tuned to "native speakers." Well, what good does that do a person who is not native? I don't think native speakers are using RF! I'm not new to the French language so my pronunciation is not bad. I can only imagine how annoyed someone completely new to this would be feeling right now. If it's anything close to how I feel, it's not very good.
