Rocket French Reviews

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.

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 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!

Overall this is great as it focus on speaking which is my favourite part of language learning.
The problematic part for me currently is not being able to just download the French audio conversations only.
I do not wish to go through the English parts of the lesson and will really prefer a French only audio to help improve on my listening skills as well.

The audio is there but the download button isn't for the French only parts.

I'm not quite a complete beginner and I've only been using the course (French) for a few weeks but find it very comprehensive in terms of topics covered and the grammar explanations seem great. Travelogue is too advanced for me atm.

There is a bit too much English in the full lessons, I know it's for beginners but the bad jokes and bits off topic are a bit annoying. There seem a few things missing from the app (Android) like the end of section tests and the survival kit audios in the playlist. Maybe I've missed it somewhere but a search function would be good to find subject/grammar topics, I know you can see headlines in the contents. It would be nice to be able to highlight somewhere which topics I want to go over again, e.g. for some of the easier sections I've not bothered to go through all the Reinforcement Activities to make them green as I don't feel I need to, but for some topics I want to go over them again, and a way to highlight which ones "I've done" would be useful.

I think it is quite expensive (I've bought all levels) but I understand a lot of work has gone into them, but am hoping it will be worth it as it's probably too early for me to say, but there is the money back guarantee which is reassuring. I've not had to deal with the Customer Service so can't really comment on that.

It is a good to practice the language. I had some problems continuing with the classes, but it appears it was corrected, and I had been able to continue with the lessons.
Thanks

I really like the fact that it gives you time to go back through the lessons that you need to review. I've tried Duolingo, and it just doesn't get me to a point where i feel like i'm learning anything more than "The cat and the boy." Thanks Rocket French! :D

Je trouve que le cours Rocket French c'est vraiment fantastique. Je le recomende pour tous qui vellent apprendre francais. c'est une method sont tres motivaants

The software is pretty good so far. Eventually, more interactive speaking via unexpected questions or commentary to respond to as well as slang would be useful. Entire, paragraphs of speech (some of which I assume will come in more advanced lessons) to have to parse and then respond to in a novel way it seems would be effective.
Also, since language seems to be acquired more effectively through speaking, a way of separating pure speaking instances from reading instances of the same words and phrases, would be useful. Developing learning which does not rely on picturing words in the mind first when they are spoken to you, but a purely separate verbal memory would seem to be useful.
The drilling of the material in various forms is effective. The repetition that comes from it is needed; I know by other experience.
Again so far so good!

I've only done 2 lessons so far but I really like the way its being taught and that the narrator, Paul has a good sense of humor makes it fun.
