Rocket French Reviews

I have had a technical problem with Rocket French for over a month now. I cannot play the audio files of ALL interactive lessons, and that is on several different devices. The support team has not been able to fix it for me, and their response rate is too slow. I'm regretting having bought the product, because it is useless for me if I'm unable to use it. And it means that i threw my money on the drain. I now asked them to reimburse me for my money if they cannot fix their technical issues, and they haven't replied to me yet. As usual their response takes at least THREE days. I'm getting extremely mad, to be quite honest!

Rocket French is the only course I have tried that succeeds in getting you talking. Many courses can teach you the basics as you sit in a class and take your turn to say something, or do online exercises but you still get tongue tied the second you try to use it in real life. Rocket French can get you past that.

I have 17 years in London with a French wife learning french on and off, and now live in France so need to use it. Learning a language in my opinion requires three things in general order (but even better if done in parallel) 1. A strong base of grammar and vocabulary to have something to work with 2. Speaking the language out loud to get into the habit of using it correctly without reflection 3. Moving to the country and chucking yourself in the deep end to expand and refine. Most courses can do 1, only you can do 3, but in my opinion after many years of french study rocket french is the only one that does 2 with depth and substance. Speaking correctly is also important, as although I have been speaking rough french for years that gets me by in family gatherings, only in doing the saying then writing that you really start nailing the articles and gender etc to really move forward.

I have been using Rocket French for the past few months and am on the verge of completing the premium level. Thus far, the course has been absolutely fantastic. It provides an excellent range of activities per lesson that allow you to focus on all aspects of language learning (reading, writing, hearing and pronunciation). Furthermore, it allows you to develop a broad vocabulary and understanding of sentence structure quickly, which in turn allows you to learn French from other media (e.g. movies) more effectively.

In all, I would strongly recommend this product. I have been to French classes before but found them relatively dull and slow-paced. With Rocket French, you can set a pace that is comfortable for you, and that is a significant boon to one's level of engagement. Once I have finished this round of courses, I am planning to invest in another language!

My experience with this software has been amazing. I've only been using it for a month for 1 hour a day, and my ability to understand and speak French has grown exponentially. I can listen to French songs and watch French TV and understand a good chunk of what they are saying!

so far Rocket french has proving to be a great learning tools toward my journey of fluency in french. I really enjoy the lesson- how it work on every skills needed to achieve fluency like listenning, speaking etc. So far i'm happy with my decision to my this pogram.

My preference would have been to experience other French tutorial products first for comparative purposes, however, this does not diminish my initial assesment of RocketFrench which has been surprisingly impressive for the three modules completed so far. The product is very well structured with an intuitive interface and excellent audio tracks. The light humorous approach makes the work of learning French easy, fun and most of all memorable. I believe that my re-assesment of RocketFrench will probably be deserving of five stars as I progress through the remaining modules.

I really appreciate the reminder and motivational emails - I lose motivation quite regularly and this gets me back on track.
I also like that I can jump ahead, pick and choose the lessons so I don't have to waste time going through something that I already know.

Doing the tests is the cement - it's so important to hear and say, not just read. However I get frustrated when my iPad doesn't recognise a one syllable word I try to pronounce in French! :-) How can "leur" be so difficult!?!? ;-)

Hear it! Say it! This has proved to be the key for me to dare to speak French at all! The playback feature has forced me to practice and practice the pronunciation until it sounds "good" ;) Rocket French is one of the best available language courses. Highly recommended!

I was very apprehensive about buying this because I'm a student and this seemed like a huge investment. That impression changed after the first module. I had been trying to learn French from YouTube tutorials and Duolingo for a while and Rocket's software did better than both of those and has made me feel that it was worth the price I paid. Thank you.

I am learning French. The program is good but far from perfect. There are problems with voice recognition. Level 1, Chapter 5 has a summary test that tests words that have never been introduced. Who proofs this stuff? One new word, 'manquer', translation "miss". What kind of miss? The "stories" are usually 25 minutes long and of little value. Customer support? Virtually nonexistent. During weekday normal hours there is a help desk, when you complain about something she will refer to IT department. IT department has a perfect record of never getting back to me so I quit writing notes to improve the course. The French course is good but could be much better if Rocket had interest in improving.
